how far away can you shoot and still hit your target? (i am sure there is some gun lingo I could use but i am not up to par on it)

oh my, you're a weirdo for wanting a handgun. But, I guess it's cool? Well, you do live in one of the most dangerous cities in the US. Okay, fine, whatever. But still...

suzie - still hit the target? probably pretty far. Being really accurate is another story. It's no rifle...

Nothing weird about wantingand owning a handgun. What is weird is in a little over a generations time the media, liberals and those who want to take away our freedoms have convinced so many that owning a firearm is "wrong". Not to long ago, you were considered a little weird if you didn't own some type of firearm. Owning a gun requires responsibility, but then again those same liberals don't want us to responsible for our actions, do they?

Mark - Exactly! After all, if they take away the legal guns the only people left with guns are the crazies who had them illegally to begin with!! That's a grand scenario!
Rachel is pretty much a liberal... so that explains it! :-o

Rachel has the right to her opinion and I hope I didn't come across to "Bearish". If I did, my apologies Rachel :) Many of my liberal friends cannot answer me when I let them know that throughout history, every - repeat- every repressive government (be they socialist, communist, fascist, dictatorship - whatever) who seeks to strip it's citizens and enslave them to the will of "the state" takes away the citizens right to arm themselves. Our founding fathers recognized this - thus the second ammendment to the constitution. "GUNS ARE EVIL" -the liberal elite media preaches it, our schools and universities embrace it and we have been taught that when criminals perform crimes, then it's really not their fault. They're just victims, like the ones whom they just robbed, mugged, cheated, murdered, etc. Get Dennis Leary's book "Why We Suck" and read it. You won't find it on the bookshelves of any Christian bookstore, bit it oughta be (IMHO). He is not afraid to call it like it is and he is dangerous to the staus quo because (in his own words) He thinks!

Good cases in point are DC and Chicago. They both banned handguns years ago and their crime rates soared...because they only people w/guns are the criminals.
Here in St. Louis there has been a rash of shootings in a North City neighborhood. Finally, the alderman for that district advised his constituents to get handguns to defend themselves. The media & the Dems slammed the guy, but immediately about 40 people (30 of them women) signed up to take the handgun course and registered to carry a firearm. Coincidentally (?), the shootings have stopped.

BAHAHAH - Ben, you suck. I am NOT a liberal!!!! Poophead.
For the record (and Ben knows this), we have a couple guns in the house, but only shotguns for hunting. I don't know many people other than my friends who are cops that have hand guns. I don't think there is anything wrong with handguns, but I don't think I ever would understand the need for me or my husband to have one, but we also live in a nice little suburban town, not STL.
I love how this became an discussion aimed at a "liberal" that doesn't exist! haha No harm done, papabear.
And I just like to give ben crap because he dishes it out way more than anyone I know. :o)

er, by the way, I wasn't trying to sound snobbish with my "nice little suburban town" comment...like STL is the scum of the earth...haha. By "nice" I meant "safe." Just thought I would clear that up.
I don't want to be a liberal AND a snob. Or wait, is there a difference?

@Rachel...you just opened yourself up w/your weird comment. But as far as a reason...you want to know how many customers come in my store daily whose houses have been broken into...many in the middle of the day? That's one reason why people want handguns. People don't really want to kill someone...but it is definitely a deterrent for someone robbing &/or harming you or your family.

This thread is interesting. Keep going I like to read about guns and liberals and people's opinions.....wait!!!! no i don't! hehe. j/k.
I want to learn how to use a gun. I'll probably feel a sense of freedom the first time I use one at a shooting range or hunting...one day.

OK - I'm confused... Ben is a model of truth yet Rachel confesses to own guns. Why O Why do I get involved in these discussions!!!
@Rachel - I aplologise if I labeled you a "Liberal" - my bad. On a side note those shotguns are the best home defense weapon out there. Nothing, imho, will stop a bad guy quicker than the sound of a shotgun shell being chambered!
@ingamae - next time you are in Redding, let me know and we will take you out shooting. Ask my son-in-law Joshua how much fun he had.
@Ben - we need to get together and burn some powder brother!

@ papabear - LOL!!! that's so funny because that's the EXACT thing my husband tells me. "If you ever get worried, go grab my shotgun. You don't even have to use it. 90% of all criminal activity is eliminated at the sound of the pump of a shotgun." hahaha
@ nancy - True. I just like to call Ben weird any chance I get.
