Are you packin'?

[red_dog007]

For those citizens from nations that allow owning of a firearm, do you own one? Care to share if you do?

For those citizens from nations that do not allow owning of a firearm, would you own one if your government gave you the option? If you care to share, what would you have in your safety case?


Myself I own two.

A 1943 Mosin Nagant Carbine with matching serial numbers. A Nagant that is actually worth more than $80, lol. This type of gun wasn't used on front lines as far as I know, but was more of a behind the front lines rifle. If the Germans punched a whole through the line, they might have gone toe to toe with a rifle like this. I have shot my friends full sized Nagant and the Carbine is more fun to shoot and more bada$$ too.

The second one I own is a Glock 29SF Gen 4. This is a 10mm sub compact pistol. I have added a pierce grip which made me fall in love with it all over again. I wasn't personally a huge Glock fan until I bought mine. Actually going to get another Glock sometime soon. Get a Glock 36.



I do not have a carry permit yet, but will hopefully get one soon. At least once I find a pistol that I would not mind carrying. Hopefully that Glock 36. It is a 45acp Subcompact but still smaller than my Glock 29!



I actually got my C&R license a few weeks ago. I am hoping to order up a SKS, Nagant Revolver, CZ82, and a TT33 with this license.
I had found an SVT40 for $250, but sadly it was only for Canadians.

Yes, XD .40 on my hip almost all the time. I do have a CCP, but it is unnecessary here in AZ now.

Proof-reading should not take more than a minute.

Read your freaking poll options!!!!

Not yet, but I'm considering investing into a rifle soon. Been looking at a nice Tikka T3 Lite .308 with a composite stock. I think I'd pick up a Leupold scope for it, seemed to have the nicest sights to me.

What do you think?

I have a 9mm, but I do not carry it.

A nice long range sniper rifle with large zoom scope would come in very handy round about now, especially one fitted with a good suppressor.

Don't assume that everyone who might want to carry a firearm and can't, is in a country where it's illegal. In NY City, it's virtually impossible to get a permit, for example.

That is why there are other options that include "illegal here" if you feel that places like NYC, Chicago, Cook County and Illinois in general that they are illegal. They are obtainable, just those kind of places make it a lot harder. There is actually lawsuits being pumped through at these places that should at least make the processes a little easier to obtain a firearm.

Thing looks bada$$. What are you looking for in a rifle?
Does that thing shoot 7.62 NATO rounds? Might be worth it to see. Can sometimes find spam cans that make the round pretty cheap.

Forgot, the other thing is one MUST be prepared to use the firearm (or knife, club, etc) otherwise it's just something that can be taken off you and used against you. The big advantage is, of course, is that it just needs the desire to use it, rather than muscle and/or much training.

Regarding the 'legality', I expect most would feel it's better to have that option if one's home and family is threatened, and face the legal penalties, rather than having to suffer seeing one's family hurt or worse because one didn't have anything to protect them.

Yeah, .308 is 7.62x51.
Basically I just want a rifle that'll be fun to shoot at both the range and out hunting. Something I could pass on to the grandkids when I'm old.
