I'm Pumped

[ryr8828]

I decided I require a gun safe. The local dealer where I've bought most of my firearms and shells had one on sale. It weighs 600 pounds, has all kinds of fire protection, and all that. It's as big as I need.

So I go in there and while I'm waiting I see an 18.5" Remington Security 12 gauge pump shotgun on the rack. I asked to see it. I asked the guy to make me a deal, he said he didn't have any room. I told him what I'd spent there in the last 3 months and he came down some.

I ended up getting the safe, the shotgun, a boresnake, and some blue compound to fix an old shotgun I have for less than the retail price of the safe, and that's including the tax.

Nice. I've had a safe for almost 20 years. Mine also weighs around 600 lbs. It's a nice feeling knowing most of your guns are secured like that. It is also nice that I can keep my important papers and such without having to have a safe deposit box at the bank.

That's great. The one family I knew that had a bunch of guns (probably 20 or so) just had 'em laying around, or on racks above the bed. Guess what we played with as kids?

I didn't leave guns in open view, but I also taught my children better than that.

I didn't leave guns in open view, but I also taught my children better than that. Stories like the ones HP tells just perpetuate the myth/stereotype that gun owners aren't all that responsible.

I've been double-locking mine since before CA required it (trigger lock and a lock on the case).

Showing off your inability to reason again. One story about one family that doesn't take care of their guns properly doesn't mean that all people who own guns don't take care of them properly. Nor is the contrapositve true. Go ahead, look up contrapositve, think about it and get back to me.

If you want to impress with your vocabulary, you should at least spell the word correctly.

My parents had very few guns when I was growing up. My dad didn't get back into hunting until after I left for college. They still double lock everything in the house.

Thats a story showing responsibility


Then there's the other side... like my best friend, whose dad stored the combo to the safe in his wallet. Those were fun times in the woods with their SKS.

Then there is the retarded side... like my other friend whose dad stored all their guns in his closet and whose brother held a fucking gun to my head... just for fun. The same brother that shot his dad's rifle through the floor into my friend's bed. Lucky enough he wasn't in it.

Good times. I've had the gun to head experience myself. Also, my own father kept one of his service revolvers a little too long and my brother, when a guy came to the door looking for trouble, accidently fired the gun in the living room while playing with the hammer. Or, the time he found my grandmother's .22 and fired that off the back porch toward a neighbors house. Perhaps why I have no use for guns.

How much education did your folks give you about the guns they did have?

Wow, obviously you played with them responsibly.

I would suspect this was back in the 60s or 70s when guns were commonly mounted on walls in the house, unsecure gun cabnets and truck windows and weren't something out of the ordinary.

Maybe it was when guns were common place in the house and "Hunters Safety" wasn't required because every child new how to check a weapon to see if it was safe, and did so.

I learned how to make a gun safe growing up around a farm family. Thier children rutinely brought the guns out of the "Mud Room" closet to play with. Family of Nine. They are all adults with families of thier own.

It was in the 80s. And my buddy went to gun safety. The only thing he talked about for weeks was how to properly handle and care for a gun. A month after that he and some kids started playing war games with real BB guns. What does this say about guns? Maybe that in the hands of dumb dumbs, dumb things happen.

I grew up playing "War," cowboys and indians and "Guns." It was the sign of the times. Vet Nam, Dan Boone (Hell, Pat too) and the hippie age. While my baby sitters became beatnics and tuned out we ran around playing war as it was all that everyone talked about.

I did however play with BB guns and got into fights with them. At that time they were pretty harmless unless you "Took an eye out." All in good fun. I was in much more serious fist fights in HS.

I haven't a touched a gun since the state told me I had to qualify. My guns are under my bed with a 4/10 at the door.

For what it is worth. We also jumped from the "High beam" that was 25 feet from the barn floor into a very small amount of straw.

We played "Bean bag tag" on the beams of the same barn. The one that was it could go anywhere but those not it had to stay on the beams. We ran on the beams 5 to 30 feet in the air while someone else was throwing bean bags at us.

From what I hear where I work, I think your Dumb handlers do dumb things work out.

Picked me up 5 boxes of 3" 00 buckshot today when I picked up the shotgun. They didn't have 2 3/4. The guy said they couldn't get it.

The Obama Gun Stimulus Program is still going gangbusters.

[Vegas]

Nice safe.

[Jesse Helms' Ghost]

Cool shotgun, too.

[becherr]

There are neat things you can do with a shotgun as far as what the balistics do.

They were locked in a case, but we knew enough to know they weren't to be touched without my Dad being there. Scary mofo... my dad.

[Iron Jaw]

I have several rifles and pistols. I have a safe, but my kids (now teens) and my wife know the combo. I also keep one ready at all times (as a federal agent, that is a necessity I believe).

Most importantly, I have instructed my kids and wife on how to use them, what they can do, and when to use them. These are lessons they have learned since a very young age. Every person in my family knows how to fire pistols and rifles and fire them accurately, as they have a lot of range time. I have taught them how to protect themselves with or without a firearm to the best of my ability. They have also gone on hunting trips with me (big game).

But they also are educated, have good religious morals and respect the value of life.

Investments. Much better return than stock in GM or AIG.

I got a raise in my unemployment up to $410 per week. It made me sad to go back to work.
