I'm serious, I just would like to know if anybody does.

I've heard of carrying handguns while hunting for "finishing off the kill", but I was curious if anybody ever did hunt with these type of weapons?

I am trying to find a world war 2 rifle for under $300. I would like it to be a bolt action rifle. If you know any could you tell me if i can find it at the Tulsa gun show. I know about the Mosin Nagant, but i am a little scare of the recoil. Also I would like it to be a standard issue rifle. My dad already has a springfield so I would like something different.

It has been brought to my attention through the M. U. C. C. and N. A. F. C. that Peta is lodging a strong campaign against our Fishing RIGHTS.They are going as far as targeting our school kids in a classroom setting,and the Boy Scouts please look into it and do whatever you can to stop it one way is through the WILDLIFE FOREVER program. Do whatever you can to stop these ignorant A HOLES.It's too bad the Apostels aren't around right now may be they would have some influence with someone that could teach these people right from wrong.Please look into it and tell me. Am I wrong to be pissed off about it?

I know that it may sting when you get hit but is it possible to die?

I recently bought a 9mm Taurus PT111 and am looking for another gun to buy. I really only use it for target practice at the gun range. What suggestions do you have?

After recent occurences and my own convictions the past few years, I have decided to purchase a firearm for protection from those that do not legally or should not legally possess these weapons. Neither my family or I have ever been threatened, but I do know that anything could happen.

I've shot a few handguns over the past years, but do not have a lot of experience. I do plan on taking certification courses.

I would like to be able to carry the weapon concealed and with easy access. It should have safety features.

Also, in addition to the weapon, any input on storage in home would be appreciated. I have a three year old daughter who is quite clever at opening things.

Thank you for your time and efforts in answering this question, your opinions are greatly appreciated!

I really don't understand this because whenever someone says to me how hunting is bad, I simply say back to them "What did you have last night?" or "Did you ever have bacon or steak?" then I go on on how the farmer just goes in the field and shoots the animal in the head and how it doesn't have a chance and how if it weren't for hunting we would all be vegitarians, then I say a bunch of other factual info.

My question is how can people eat meat and still hate hunting and be against hunting? It just doesn't make any sense.

I am looking to pick up a 12 gauge and have been moving towards the Remington Wingmaster. I checked out the Mossberg 500 today though and really liked the way it felt, and its sighting. Any info helping me decide would be greatly appreciated. I am going to be strictly clay shooting, I realize the 500 is only $200 and the 870 will be significantly more (I do not want an Express-felt cheap) I think about $400?
