Golf aren’t hard to find, just look where the crazies are running around with the clubs trying to get em. Got to be careful though, take one of those crazies golf’s, and they will chase you with that club.

Golf are too damn hard to peel, and even after you get em peeled, they are kind of chewy.

You saw that episode too. One of the best. Say you got any pot-passers?

4. I “racked” the shotgun several times during the tests, and no bystanders lost control of their bowels.

Well, they weren't sneaking around your hall way all quiet like in the middle of the night when they heard it, that's why. :-)

What’s your verdict on the little Kel-Tech carbine? The gun shop around the corner from me had one in .40 S&W ($339) yesterday and I am tempted to get it. I read quite a bit about them last night and most people seem pleased. I don’t need another carbine, but I like the idea of having a folding rifle that will fit in a backpack, tackle box, or the lockbox under the seat of my truck. Plus, it would give me an excuse to get a Glock 22.

Well, my son bought one and he goes on a regular basis and shoots. I personally haven’t used on, but so far my sons opinion has been rather good.

I’m thinking of trading in my clip shotgun for this as I think my wife can handle this better....if she needs to.

Were they "good" bystanders, or "bad" bystanders?

I am thinking my wife and daughter could handle one as well. They need something that packs a punch with as little recoil as possible. Both shoot well, but neither is comfortable with large calibers.

“To the person wanting to have just one gun to keep around the house I always recommend a shotgun as the one gun that is the most “all-around” gun I can think of. “

Mossberg 500 tactical with a sliding stock. We just got one and its sweet. Its designed for up close and personal.

I like it. Only shot it once at the range on a very windy day. Out of the box, hit the paper every time at 50 yards.

My Wife has a Glock 19 (9mm) so that’s the configuration I got. Waited 6 weeks to get it.

Also got some of the 33 round mags from Glock.

It's a nice little carbine. It is easy to use, quite accurate out to about 150 yards, and packs more punch than a pistol because of the longer barrel. As you note, it is easy to store and transport in a backpack or small bag and is very light weight. The price is right, as well.

I highly recommend it.
