I grew up with guns. My father had Rugar, Winchester, some military issue rifles. We had several pistols but I had to give them to my aunt because they are illegal to have in my home state. My grandmother had a rifle that could be used by a woman or a man and had a clean shot and not that much kick back but the rifle was so old it has rusted away and is useless. It had been lost in the basement and ruined.
What would be a good brand of rifle to get that I can purchase that I can use and my girlfriend can use for home security? I was looking into Winchester or Rugar.
I am so dumb. I think the weapon that Nana had must have been a shot gun. I remember Dad showing me how to use it as a kid. That must be it. It was shorter barrel than the weapons he used for hunting that were the rifles.

I’m just wondering about something. Assuming they have access to pistols, rifles, what do they need a shotgun for? How is tactically better than say M-16 or some other weapon? Do they use bullets or buckshot?

Right now I’m in Russia picking whether to just get my shotgun for hunting or also apply for a rubber bullet pistol permit. But starting this summer these pistols are treated like hunting weapons, meaning you can’t carry them loaded or use within city limits. I’m also having trouble imagining a scenario where I’d use that pistol and not get into trouble for doing it. If it comes to that I might as well use the shotgun.

My dad recently asked me to research a good assault rifle. Somthing high tech and good for hunting. I suggested the AR and AK but he said he wanted somthing modern and usefull. I really don’t know what to look up. Any suggestions?

My brother and i have always wanted to get our gun licenses and permits since we were younger. Now that we noticed that it would be right to have a firearm in your own help incase of home invasion, he has decided to go out and obtain his firearm license.

We know of a few gun shops around town, and i am sure they would greatly help him obtain his license/permit, but before we go in there looking like we dont know squat about firearms, and looking like idiots, we want to know what are the Appropiate Steps/Permits to obtain first before anything?

One of my comrads who was in the military has personally told me much about firearms and the laws here in california, but i just want to be sure. I know he told me about a handgun safety instruction or something like that?

He only wants a firearm to have at home and occassionally the shooting range, we will not be doing any hunting. Thanks in advance.

unfortunately, our forefathers didn’t have enough foresight when writing the Second Amendment. the PURPOSE of the Second Amendment is for the citizens to be able to keep weapons so that they are ever faced with a tyrannical government, they can revolt. anybody who thinks that our current government is tyrannical, please refrain from answering this question, as you are crazy.

if the Second Amendment is interpreted as citizens are allowed to have any and all weapons that they can, this means that citizens have the Constitutional right to own nuclear weapons, assault weapons, chemical weapons, military weapons, etc. etc. should there be a limit??

i’m not sure what wording i would use, but i would definitely outlaw hand guns (most important), assault rifles, extended magazines and other dangerous accessories, and any other firearm that is easily concealable or used for anything other than hunting. weapons used for hunting are plenty for self defense, and they are not easily concealable.

what do u think? do you REALLY think that things are fine the way they are now??
stop clinging to a piece of paper that was written hundreds of years ago… the Constitution AND the Bible. LOL

I’m in my 20s, enlisted military, and own and have been firing and maintaining both compound bows, rifles, and handguns since I was a kid. I would like to learn how to hunt. Apparently, the only failure is that I’m also female, so I don’t get invited along, as my friends’ hunting excursions are guys only. I don’t have a big family to ask.

Any ideas? Female hunters? Are there sporting clubs that would take me?

Say i have night vision goggles. Can i look through a non night vision rifle scope with my goggles on and see a magnified image in night vision?

Ive seen it happen with video cameras. a guy put his night vision over his video camera and recorded in night vision. however he was in the military and was using high quality night vision.

Also what generation would you suggest for hunting? 1? 2?
i can only really afford 1 or 2.

I live in Michigan below the rifle line which means we have to use shotgun. We are planning a hunting trip in Wisconsin where rifles are allowed. I was thinking about using my AR-15 with a scope and a 5 round hunting clip I bought. Is .223 strong enough to kill deer? Have anyone used it with success? I figure if the military uses it against people it should probably be good enought to get deer too, or is this logic flawed? Bonus for personal expierence.
I know there are other better rounds to use, but I dont want to buy another rifle to go hunting in rifle country once every couple years.

I like old military rifles 4rus SKS, 3 Mos.N. M-44, 2 Mos. N 91/30
gun show is this weekend and I’d like to get an Enfield.

What do I look for, and how much should I plan on spending? I’m not to familiar with these, but I would like one. by the way I’m in Indiana.
add how much am I looking at $$$ as far as ammo? I’m not familiar with a forum for that.
Jeff it might see some hunting. thanks! I more just want one cause its a piece of history/collect, take apart toy, pass down to the kid, you know!

I think they will buy guns when they grow up. Ten year old kids now can tell you all the different types of military rifles and pistols. Guns are very popular now. I would love if guns got so popular that you could get a concealed weapon permit in Los Angeles.

If I just mention hunting or guns in passing, (For example, one of our stories is called "Lil Arliss and the Bear") all the boys in the room suddenly have an ad hoc discussion about guns. Which I have to STOP or get in trouble with the principal/parents. And these are latino boys from economically depressed families. I get the Latino students because I can speak Spanish, and I get the English Language Learner Cluster. They cannot afford the best video games or toys. My room partner next door who (who HATES guns) has the gifted cluster, was complaining that all the video games make guns very glamourous to young boys. Apparently the children in the gifted cluster have every video game known to man.

i think it would be really cool to design rifles for hunting or maybe design firearms for the military, but is that mechanical engineering or some other form of engineering?

I don’t think I have ever seen a gun commercial, even on hunting shows and military shows. Is it illegal for them to, or do they just not do it?

If the US Government certified present America based private security firms contracted for present service in Afghanistan and Iraq as Militia that Second Amendment affirms can bear
military value arms what are peace officer perspectives on prospect of a military value weapon recall being issued to all civilians not Certified Militia, Peace Officers, or US Government? Military value weapons being those that differ
from the hunting firearms that individual state laws regulate.
Military value weapons are those firearms that the US Government would regulate by use of Second Amendment,
which in the hands of persons deemed ‘Hostiles’ represent both a violation to the language of the Second Amendment and law of the United States of America. Persons deemed
‘Hostiles’ would, like in drug cases, be subject to assets frozen and siezed. Militia assisting in the recovery of military value weapons would recieve a percentage of assets as have drug
property served law enforcement previously.

I am not talking about the heavy stuff the army uses, I mean stuff available to the public i have heard the Remington (forgot the number) modified bolt action that everyone practically has used for hunting is still regarded as the best.

In the Hunting section, where the firearms enthusiasts hang, I asked if anyone would like to see a really cool firearms photo archive. I said there were many military weapons and rare guns to be seen there, or something to that effect, and gave the link.
For some unknown reason, I was violated and deleted.
There were no curse words, no discriminitory statements, no sexual inuendo, and there are no graphic or sexual images of any kind either in my question, or at the linked site, only pictures of obscure guns.
This WAS a question. It asked if the reader would enjoy seeing these images.
The responses, including one from the top contributor in hunting were very positive, with the exception of one of the early ones, which simply answered "no"(haha), and took his two points. I doubt HE violated me, as the question stayed up several more hours.
I am not an employee or sponsor of the site and am not being compensated for promoting it in any way, so I’m not fishing or spamming.
I had even given everybody a thumbs up -
- even the guy who answered "no"!
It hurt my feelings.
When you try to give folks good non-offensive questions and answers …
When you defend others on there who are being rudely treated or discriminated against ….
When you try to always give the askers the best answer you can give them …
… And get a violation notice for a fun question that was not, and did not have the potential to, harm anyone, It’s discouraging to me. I’m depressed enough of the time as it is. Maybe I need to find another hobby besides answers. This really bummed me out.
Hey here is the link.

Click on the photo archive icon that comes up near the middle of the screen.
The extremely long page takes a few seconds to load.
Click on the name of the gun to see the image and info about it.

From what ive heard, to get a good new rifle now a days is around 0-0 if you want something pretty good…..

My question is how does this stand up to military issued guns ? For example you can get a very very nice springfield 30-06 for 0 with a scope and a m1 garand/svt-40 for around 0 if you look around. All these guns shoot amazing and are much cheaper

My question is why do people buy new guns if the old ones are quite a bit cheaper and better ? Do people just buy him just because there new or is there another appeal ? Also which (new or old) do you recommend for hunting because a springfield 30-06 for 0 that can drop a moose sounds like anything better than I can find at academy
Yes some of the older ones do (the one my brother got for 0 doesn’t) but don’t crappy subpar 0 ones at sports stores do the same thing even worse ?

I have only shot military weapons and many of them. I would like a decent rifle that I can use for both small and large game animals. I already have a shotgun for hunting and one for personal defense. Please advise. Also for the above question can you tell me what a fair price range would be?

I have always contemplated joining,but I was always able to find good jobs…untill now! At 35,I feel this may be my last chance to go for it.I am divorced with two children I must help provide for. I have experience in mechanical work,plumbing,cooking, and business management.(no college).For what it is worth,I have been told many times that I am a natural leader. I am also experienced with firearms.(sport shooting,hunting,etc.). I would love to do anything involving aircraft,especially flying! …but I know that is probably a long shot.
I would like to know if there are specific branches that are more willing to work with people like me, and also if there are any perks for age and/or civillian experience…( rank/pay/bonus/etc…) I don’t have any physical problems other than wearing contacts. I am 5′ 9” 150 lbs and athletic by nature,so I dont’t forsee any problems being fit enough.
I only want answers from EXPERIENCED SERVICE PEOPLE please!! I am going through a really hard time,and this is a HUGE decision for me. I have not yet spoken to a recruiter. I guess I just would like some advice before I do….
