I spent the evening cleaning some of my guns with my 14 yr old son. good times
Excellant advice,
a 12 gague is a perfect home protection gun.
A .22 is cheap to fire and good for lots of shooting practise.
And I personally really, really, really like my M-1 Garand.
Toss a good quality, used .357 magnum revolver and this guy is dead on.
I’m a gun owner because, under the current Administration, skin color trumps laws, and no one gets a “free beating” on this citizen.
Time spent working with your loved ones is to be treasured. It's even better when you can share it with your son.
Remington Model 870. Reliable and inexpensive. Everyone who is able to handle one that lives in your home should have one stored there and at the ready 24/7.
Ruger Model 10/22. Reliable and inexpensive. Everyone who is able to handle one that lives in your home should have one stored there and at the ready 24/7.
Ummmm....really????
The premise that one should have three types of guns is okay but shaky; I would add the fourth for concealed carry.
Beyond that, the rest is poorly written and uninformative. In other words a waste of ink.
Any FReepers here have any experience getting a gun permit in NJ?
I agree with you about the revolver. They’re especially handy for women who may not be as comfortable handling a weapon. If a revolver fails, just pull the trigger again.
Do you REALLY have a valid reason, or did you just want to post a nice picture?
I agree with him.
Currently in my gun safe, or on me:
AR-15 rifle in 5.56 NATO.
Marlin Model 60 scoped semi-automatic .22 rifle
Mossberg pistol grip 12 gauge pump shotgun.
Glock G22 .40 caliber semi-automatic pistol
Glock G23 .40 caliber semi-automatic pistol
S&W Model 686 stainless .357 Magnum revolver
Walther PPK/S .380 semi-automatic pistol
Ruger Mark II stainless semi-automatic .22 pistol
G23 has been on me and AR-15, with 30 round magazine, in a corner of the living room since Trayvon’s peeps have been making “kill the white devil” noises.
Looks like two of mine.
A 10/22 is an excellent all round weapon. Shot guns are limited by effective range. A well placed shot with a 22 is devastating and can bring down about any averaged size game including deer (Using scopes and a head shot) It can also wreak havoc on humans and be waay more accurate at range then a shotgun.
Granted bigger rifles are better but when you have limited funds an 870 and 10/22 for everyone in the family is cheaper and highly effective for protection and hunting if the SHTF. (And you only need deal with to types of ammo.)
Also, many women have difficulty racking the slide on a semi-auto.
I never met a person who wanted to be shot, with a .308 or a .22.
Sure a .22 doesn’t have the range or power of the larger calibers. It will certainly get peoples attention though.
Yeppers had an argument with a friend about this same issue he told me his bigger rifle was superior and I couldn't expect to deal with such a threat even if he gave me 5 shots to my one.
I asked him If I shot him once in the head with a 22 how effective would his next shot be with his sparky 308?
He just mumbled.
On youtube there are a lot of videos showing actual penetration of various calibers. I always shied away from a .357 simple because I was worried about over penetration of the neighbors house.
In one video the 5.56 actually had the least amount of penetration using mock sheetrock walls. It only went through two walls and into the 3rd before the bullet broke up. Even the 12ga with 7shot went through the 3rd wall.
The .45, .357, 12ga 00, and 9mm all went into the 4th wall. They’ve even found where the sheetrock will fill the void in a HP round preventing it from expanding.
