Well, I'm sure a p22 is nice, but you can order a glock in yellow (to go with your trike) or pink if you like.

Re: Guns?
I'm in Virginia and it's also an open carry state but I've never seen anyone carrying. I also have a concealed carry permit but have to admit that I never carry either.
You comment about the Arizona Police being in full support for civilian's to carry is very refreshing. Wish that was the common consensus in every state! I happen to know the Chief of Police in my area. The next time I see him, I'll ask what his point of view is. Just for curiosity.

Re: Guns?
Not much into guns, but I do have a Winchester Model 94 I bought in '68 I use for hunting. I also have a Colt .38 Chief Special (Snub Nose) I bought at the same time that has never had a round in it. In fact it is still in the original box and wrapping. In addition I have a Glock 19 still unfired since I bought in late '88. Again in original container. I am looking for a Kel-Tec 32 to carry around, although my nephew (Cop and Gun Dealer) says that the 380 is the one he uses as his back-up while on duty.

Re: Guns?
How long do you wait before shooting a new gun?
C got me a Glock 23. Really nice... but I haven't shot it yet and it's been a few weeks now. Shooting in our backyard is legal here but I haven't had the itch yet.
One of my buds is a Federal Training Officer, said the first thing he would do is make the rookies cut all the pull cords off of their jacket that would be near the Glock and to keep your finger away from that trigger or you will have a nice neat little hole in your uniform pants after you get out of the hospital.
I've got him coming over to train me to field dress the G23 (it's my first Glock). I'm a firm believer that if you don't know the gun, don't shoot it. Maybe that's the reason I haven't played with it just yet... hearing some of the stories and all...but the fun to be had once the training is over will be just great!!

UNBELIEVABLE, Obama's $50 gun tax/registration thru 2009 1040 tax filing
Obama has gotten this Senate bill into the finance committee
Senate Bill SB-2009- will require us to put on our 2009 1040 federal tax form all guns that you have or own. may require fingerprinting and a tax of $50 per gun,
This was put in an amendment to the Internal Revenue Act of 1986,this means the Finance committee can pass this without the senate voting on it:no:

Re: Guns?
This is the first I have heard of this legislation; and have been unable thus far to find any further information on it. Please give us a citation for the text and an update on it's status. Is it still in the Senate Finance committee? Is there a similar Bill in the House? Thanks.

Re: Guns?
My hubby was concerned about this and did some research. It seems this (or something very similar) was actually proposed by one congress person several years ago, but it was quickly shot down. However, the rumor has continued to circulate at intervals ever since then. Interestingly, a police officer who teaches tactical training (and is definitely pro-NRA) was interviewed on a radio talk show today and was asked specifically about this. He also stated firmly that it is just a rumor at this point, and should be disregarded.

Re: Guns?
New to the site. Have been a gun owner since I was 10(shotgun and 22) unless you want to include bb guns then 8. I now have 7 pistols from 22 to 45, Contender with 7 barrels from 22 to 358. 4 shotguns, 8 rifles 22 to 30-06. I reload for my pistols and rifles. Currently have 22 lbs of powder, 8000+ bullets and enough primers to load everything. I'm a CC in Colorado. S+W 640 Fully enclosed hammer 357. Looking at a Glock 40. Just be a paying member of the NRA. It's a strong lobby and will do it's part to protect out 2nd Amendment right. Which as I'm sure you have all heard by now was just suppored by the Supreme Court. The margin was close, so be very vigilant. The best way I know to help protect that right is to take a youngster shooting/hunting. They are the future holders of our destiny. My 2 cents worth.

Re: Guns?
I posted this in it's own thread. Sorry for the double post.
I need some help from you gals or guys.
I want to buy my bride a small pistol for her to keep in her purse and car.
I bought her an off brand 32 auto for her birthday a few years ago but it is very loud and kicks pretty good so she doesn't like it. She doesn't like any gun come to think of it. She has finally realized that I can't always be there.
I have preached to her for 27 years the importance of self protection and preservation. She is starting to come around.
What would you all recommend?
I am not looking for an investment$$$$$$$$.
I just want a small auto that has very little kick.
I usually don't buy from a dealer. I don't like the paper trail.
It has to be fool proof. Don't want 2 or 3 safeties. I need her to pull up and shoot.

Re: Guns?
I bought a nice little .380ACP double action with a Hammer Block Safety manufactured by BERSA S.A. (Argentina). It's a nice little ladies gun with light recoil but is loud, as are about all of them. I think I paid around $280.00 for it. Even has a keyed trigger lock built into the weapon that disables the trigger when the gun is stored. I've shot about 50 rounds through it and although not very accurate at over about 10 yards it's well built. The .380 is somewhat more powerful than the .32, really it's a 9mm "short" for all intents and purposes, and will get the job done at short range. For the price, I don't think you can beat it for what you're looking for.

Re: Guns?
Yeah, I still have a decent collection. Notice I said, "collection". That's what they turned into. I can't even remember when the last time was that I shot any of them.
And I also use to shoot competition Trap in my younger days. That was a lot of fun! We had a competition Trap Team where the cadence of the line was very fast. All you would see is one clay bird after another powder in the sky only a second apart. It was impressive. We would actually draw a crowd of spectators when we would shoot in that manner.. Ahhh yes,,, days gone by,,,,,.....

Re: Guns?
Just traded for a Desert Eagle MK VII .44 mag in polished chrome yesterday. I'm not familiar with the Desert Eagle and thought it was a MK XIX until I did further research. The gun is in perfect condition but unfortunately I didn't make a very wise decision and lost about $200.00 on the trade. Oh well, there's a sucker born every minute so if I wait long enough I'll find one and get my money back eventually!!??

Re: Guns?
I'm pretty fond of firearms, but of a different type. Aside from Dad's old Winchester single shot .22 I learned to shoot with, everything else loads from the front with black powder. I shoot competition and hunt, 'Pest used to compete too 'till Doc said she had to quit because of osteoperosis. For some reason she told him she shot a .45 cal rifle & pistol. He freaked & told her the recoil could break her. Yeah, RIGHT Doc -- her rifle, with it's target loading, kicks just a bit more than a .22, but he scared her out of "playing". Just about the time she quit, she got a beautiful little custom built .45, that's seen little use. All her toys are percussion ignition. I have 3 rifles -- 2 custom builts & one I rebuilt -- all flint locks. In the pistol catagory, I have 2 .45 single shots & a 3rd generation Colt's 1st model Dragoon .44, all percussion. I also have a .62 smooth bore flint lock. That's same bore as a 20 Ga shotgun. I shoot both shot & .600 round ball with it. That .600 does give a satisfying "THUMP" when it hits something! Yeah, I shake too much to use flint locks on my pistols.
Hmmm -- gonna have to figure out how to upload pix!

Re: Guns?
I ride in a lot of states and have a permit to carry in Tennessee ... which of course means nothing in a bunch of other states and in Canada. I find it just as easy when at a rest area to simple put an empty holster and belt on the windshield.

I also carry on the trike 9mm Glock. In home, one 9mm Glock, 32 cal Iver Johnson really old. My grandfather owned a jewlery store in Baltimore. He was more scared of the gun than criminals. 30/30 Wicchester, 30.06 Remington, 12 guage Mossberg.
And, I live next door to Just Glocks a gun range and the Texas Glock distributor.
