(2,952 posts)11 y/o...a single shot .410 was my first...I own what I was taught to use and service in the navy....an m1911, a mossburg 500 pump 12 and an old enfield .303 I've hunted with for 30 years...nothing fancy, standard clips, 3 for the rifle and 3 for the .45, a couple of boxes of shells for each. The 500 has an extended tube. It is all I feel I need for any situation. It is the exact collection I've owned for nearly two decades. My kids grew up respecting the guns, knowing how to use them and when and when not to use them. When my step kids are mature enough I'll teach them if they choose so.
That being said, My friends from back home in east Texas...land of Ghomert...tell me I shouldn't keep them locked up for gawds sake! "We have a boar problem" is an excuse I get for 30 rnd clips....I'm thinking "are you serious!? That's not what our people taught us..." It's not even about self protection or well regulated militia anymore with them....it's all about f@cking over a sitting president and waving their f@cking c@cks around.
A year ago people on this board called me paranoid for taking the rhetoric from these groups seriously...it's good to see a lot of my liberal friends here taking them with more than a grain of salt now...some of these folks are keyboard warriors in moms basement, but there are some that are dedicated to the cause and able and willing to pull something stupid....im truly worried that this will lead to some kind of a self fulfilling prophecy soon....I hope for the best but I feel it's best to stay vigilant for the alternative.
