like hunting ducks with an AK-47

You know, every time this comes up, I look again:

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

Yup.

Thought so.

There's STILL nothing about ducks in there.

[OldPossum]

Thanks for the e-mail address.

Now I'll compose a little communique to this jackass.

[cruiserman]

was too easy -- like duck-hunting with an AK-47

I don't think that would be very easy at all. Better with a shotgun.

[Armed Civilian]

Any Pics of the scar?

[GailA]

Ditto. Hubby and I both CCW. He carries a 9mm and I carry a Bersa .380.

[AnAmericanMother]

;-) you'd have to speak to my husband about that . . . he controls all photo rights . . .

[freeeee]

[Armed Civilian]

Well let me ask him :^?

[AnAmericanMother]

. . . well, he's really busy right now . . . :-D

[stevio]

I called him and asked for the woman who wrote the article. He said it was him, and I said, Oh, I thought you were a woman since you don't like guns. He hung up on me. LOL. If anyone else is interested in finding out if it is a woman or a girly man can call (412) 320-7845.

Daddies/boyfriends/husbands... Don't fail to take your girls shooting. They stay girly about them about until the time they hold one and fire it.

When I visited my daughter (who's living in Bezerkley, CA) I took her to the pistol range. We rented a .22 semi-auto and a .357.

I explained the differences between the two delivery systems and the three calibers (rimfire vs. centerfire), shooting stance, etc.>

After she popped off ten rounds in the .22, she said, "Dad, this doesn't have any kick at all."

I told her to "be patient." Then we moved on to the .357 with .38 rounds in the reel. After six shots, she said, "that's the ticket."

I loaded .357 rounds, she fired a shot, and said, "Ouch."

After 24 years, she's always had a negative image of firearms. Now she wants a .38.

A Ruger Blackhawk will be her birthday present.

But let's be honest: Do any of us know of anyone who wasn't, say, a cast member of "Bonanza" or an Iraqi who recently defended their homestead with a firearm?

Probably not, because YOUR PAPER REFUSES TO PUBLISH DEFENSIVE GUN USE INCIDENTS!

[freeeee]

You crack me up

[AFreeBird]

Case in point; Like hunting ducks with an AK-47.

I nearly spewed coffee all over the place when I read this and tried to contain my laughter.

You caught that too. Geez, its hard enough to hit any type of fowl with a shotgun. I couldn't imagine trying to take a bird with a bullet.

My wife wants a little pistol for her purse...Last time I checked, she is of the female persuasion.

"It's just a scam that scares men into spending money they don't have on expensive guns," wrote Yvette Castigliano, of Ambridge, Beaver County.

"The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference - they deserve a place of honor with all that's good."----George Washington

[Redcloak]

If you look at a picture like this...

...and all you can think about is where spent brass might end up, you might be a Glock owner!

[Ghengis]

I want to join her shooting range! ;-)

[AnAmericanMother]

Or a 1911A1 owner.

My Officer's Model mostly kicks the brass off to the right rear, but occasionally it will spit one straight up and back. I wear a billed cap on the line, but they still occasionally startle me by hitting my safety glasses.

My Sig-Sauer brass on the other hand tends to go straight out and hit the poor soul standing to my right . . .

[AngryJawa]

Hot chicks with CZ-75's!?! Hubba hubba!

They probably won't have too many problems with hot brass + cleavage. My CZ used to chuck brass into low Earth orbit before I installed a new recoil spring.
