it was the only time after hunting that the kill was easier to pack out than it was to pack in.  :)

Just make sure you have pronouns straight before you shoot that thing...

As a statement, that just sits so wrong with me!

Just take it as my conservative British view and move on.

Not to get into a whole thing, but in my view guns are fine if they are respected and treated properly.  It's certain people that use them for certain things I have a problem with.

In our area, guns are everywhere, hunting, target practice, gun clubs, etc.  Very sportsman.  We don't even think twice about it.  Not a lot of violence here in Aberdeen with guns.

I've toyed with the idea of owning some type of gun or rifle, but I'm not a hunter and currently I'd have to go to some kind of gun club to do anything with it so I haven't bothered.  Besides, I have enough blasters and phasers to play with already.  ;)

I have a few laying about - mostly rather old stuff inherited from my Grandfather.  He had an impressive collection of military rifles from the 1870's to the Great War (WW1).  He even had an old Martini-Henry rifle - which our UK brethren may or may not have heard of (used at the battle of Rorkes Drift, etc).

That Ruger would only be legal as a target rifle in Pennsylvania - as you are not allowed to hunt with a semi-automatic rifle in this state - NJ is even stricter.

We got dozens around my house in Colfax. My dad used to hunt more than he does now and we got a good little display of rifles, but we don't even have half as many as some of the people in my area. Truth be told I can't remember a single time hearing about someone being shot in Colfax though.

Usually areas with high (legal) gun ownership have very low incidents of weapon related crimes.  The bad guys are too scared of getting shot!

WOW!  That is scary if it's a real pic - which it probably is.

That guy could get a nomination for a Darwin award if it all goes wrong!
