Don't play with guns!

Man, I'd love to go out into the open (like the AZ desert) to have a fun day of shooting. Too bad there is almost no outdoor gun ranges around here, and there's even less public land.

Well maybe we need to set up a day and head out into the desert. Best place for flying lead!

Yeah, that would be pretty cool. Beats indoor ranges any day of the week.

Someday soon I will be moving out of "Kalifornia". You cannot buy jack diddly here as far as decent guns are concerned. I want a Thompson .50 with a drum. A couple of montha ago, I was at the rifle range with my .480 Redhawk. I shoot at the 100 yard range. I heard the guys next to me talking about a rabbit that was running around at the 150 yards range, up the hill a bit. I used my binoculars and saw him. One guy had a 30-06 and tried to hit the bunny, but no luck. The rabbit was waiting for a taste of my .480. I raised my front sight one inch above little bunny foo foo's head and squeezed one off. This was using a sandbag by the way. The rabbit exploded and took a 400 grain XTP while doing a mid air summersault. The range master was laughing and never thought he would see the day someone shot a Jack rabbit at 150 yards with an iron sighted handgun. Me neither! But it was fun. The guys with the scoped rifles just looked at me funny too.

Yep - Kalifornia trumps your rights. You may not have to move though. latest SCOTUS ruling means that your draconian laws can now be challenged.

Even if they pass a law, I'd still move from Kali. Too many crazy people live there. They won't say hi to you and its all about me myself and I over there. As far as I'm concerned, thats a very evil mentality.

Yep! It is all that and more. I went to visit the USS Pampanito in San Fransicko. A bum was peeing right on the sidewalk in public. I wanted to throw the SOB into the drink. The city has gone to the toilet. It is a biohazard with the filth in it. Naw, I bought a nice place in Northern Arkansas for 80 grand and will be going there hopefully in a year or two.

Speaking of weapons harming their users, I really really wish I had a vid of mySergeant at Camp Pendelton's School of Infantry. We were learning how to fire the AT-4 anti-tank rocket launcher and he decided to demonstrate its' proper usage. He forgot to remove the safety pin on his first attempt, and allowed the launcher (which was on his shoulder) to tilt upwards at an extreme angle as he removed it, with his hand still on the firing stud. The resulting backblast blew him off of his feet and set his boots on fire:rotfl:

We had to do wind sprints as punishment for being unable to stop laughing at him but it was worth it.

one of the toughest lessons and one takes the utmost military discipline is not laughing at the NCO who owns your sorry ass. :rotfl:

My shooting days are basically over, suffered a detached retina in June and still recovering. Thank goodness I still have my vision, albeit 20/20 with glasses in the left eye and 20/35 in the right (which means everything in the right eye is smaller and darker due to surgery).
.375 H&H magnum rifle was quite amusing to shoot decades ago. Had a hair trigger and of course when I touched it, the rifle fired and planted the scope in my forehead. No blood though.
Fired a .454 Casull at the gun range in Vogelweh Rod and Gun Club- ouch!
My favorites of all time- a .69 caliber Charleville flintlock musket (I own a .75 caliber Land pattern musket, aka Brown Bess).
4th of July is reserved for the flint .60 cal Horseman's pistol and the black powder swivel cannon.

Yours, Mike

Ouch yes! The 454 has an indredible pressure spike which translates into tremedous recoil. I love the 480 ruger because it's recoil is like a hot 44 mag, but can handle much heavier bullets and has more energy at 100 yards than does a 44 at the muzzle. Best dang gun I ever owned.

Careful. Someone here will say that you shouldn't be allowed to own a non-practical gun!
