'The' Gun Thread (Page 47)

I laughed  ;-)

While I am a hunter, I also fish and this is the time of year where I get to see the geese out with their babies and if you have ever watched a family of geese, they really are one of my favorites.  I've never eaten goose.  I've heard mixed reviews on it but like you, I have a smoker and I would try it using that route.

Honestly though, I bought this particular gun for it's unique design.  The concept is fantastic and it's based upon a South African Neostead shotgun.  For law enforcement and home defense you can flip between which magazine tube you wish to use.  You could load 7 non-lethal 2-3/4" shells on the right and if the intruder refused to flee, you could flip to 00 buck on the left.  The bullpup design shortens the weapon, making maneuverability excellent inside the home.  I like the use of a shotgun in the house because I don't worry about shot penetrating my neighbor's home should I ever need to use it.

I will be keeping one and selling one so I can add a Kel-Teck KSG to the collection.  The geese are 100% safe.

Picked up UTS15's last night.  I'm hoping to provide a range report by Monday.  Definitely a cool setup but I know that some earlier versions were questionable in terms of reliability.

Good news: looks cool and probably fun to shoot.  Bad News: Probably would be a banned firearm under either of the many Assault weapons bans floating around. (Semi auto with one of the other characteristics, that being the pistol grip.)

DanielG - 2013-05-16 5:46 AM Biden asks clergy to make moral argument on guns http://www.cathnewsusa.com/2013/05/biden-asks-clergy-to-make-moral-... I'm curious where all the "wall between church and state" types are.

Originally posted by DanielG With the new political joe, does that mean we're still stuck with the single gun thread or can it branch out to "Gun Control bills suggested", "Gun bills passed", "Guns you own", and the ever popular "Guns suck!" threads?

Illinois is set to join the 49 other states in allowing law-abiding gun owners to carry weapons in public for self-defense after the House on Friday passed legislation by an 89-28 margin.

The Senate voted in favor 45-12, and the bill now awaits Gov. Pat Quinn’s signature. A spokeswoman said the governor will review the bill, which will take effect upon his signing, when it reaches his desk.

Why could IL not hold out for another week?  Constitutional carry would have been soooooo fun to watch!

Originally posted by DanielG About 24 hours after it defaulted, there would have been 220 different city laws about how to carry what you can carry etc. Chicago wouldn't have accepted any other CCW permit. At least this eliminates all of Chicago's laws about handguns. They still have an AWB but preemption on handguns overrules all. That's a good thing or you would have had to figure out which magazine is legal in what city. Plus now if you have a WI permit and go visit your buddy in IN, you can just keep your handgun with you driving through Chicago. None of this having to stop at state line horsehockey.

Assault weapons ban not likely as concealed carry law approaches The more I think about it, the more convinced I am that the AG asked for an extension, she believes that all the cities and towns will want time to pass an assault weapon ban before they're not allowed to do so due to preemption. What has become clear to me is that she, and people with her mindset, cannot fathom that others not only don't see a need to pass such a law but some actively don't want such a law. I do believe she pushed for the extension thinking every single place that could, would.

No. Not all. My little Southern town (actually the city council) reciently tried to pass an ordnance that every household in the city limits (county? not sure) would be required to keep a gun in the home.

Seriously.

It did not pass.

I do not have a link because we have no newspaper/current events online here, and since it did not pass I don't think any of the 'bigger' papers got a hold of it.  

Although I am a gun owner, I did not support this ordnance. I want less government in my personal business not more... But just to show you how thinking can be different in different areas...

Originally posted by DanielG Please re-read what I was saying. I honestly believe Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan pushed for a 30 day extension so that all the home rule cities could pass an AWB. I really believe that's what she thinks they'll do, given the extended time. Whenever I talk to someone with that belief, they seem completely bewildered that the cities and towns do NOT want to pass such laws and that there are cities and towns that want to take Chicago's ability to keep the AWB they passed away. Your city council flummoxes the IL AG

Right, I got what you were saying she was saying.  I was saying "no, not all towns..." to her, not you. I was baking up your belief that not all towns think that way.
