Which side arm?

[Matt308]

I read about that too. ACLU will get involved eventually and your state will pay big bucks for its citizens rights. Good for Florida.

In Connecticut that is probably all that you are allowed to own.

yep, pretty much.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

over allowed to use "reasonable force" to detain or stop someone commiting a crime, the problem is just how much force is "reasonable" force? i know where the guns are kept in the house and i know how to get at them, i like to think that in the event of a robber in the house i'd have the presence of mind to get one and fire a warning shot or two out of a window or something like that, if he still doesn't go perhaps shoot him in the leg? of course if were actually were robbed it's unlikely i'd do anything even close to that

 

[Matt308]

If you have the presence of mind and superior eye hand coordination to shoot someone in the leg under great stress, you are a man among men.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

well it's going to be very short range and i'll be using a shotgun so i'd be more supprised if i missed............

 

[mkloby]

Never fire any warning shots. Shoot to kill, my friend.

 

[lesofprimus]

Warning shots are for dispersing unruley crowds and thats it.... As loby said, shoot to kill...

Have you ever patterned your shotgun at short range? "Can't miss with a shotgun" is a myth. Assuming you have a cylinder-bore choke on your shotgun, at 20ft it will likely shoot into a pattern the size of your fist.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i'm a farmer's son, i know how to use a shotgun i've done plenty of shooting with one and i find it an absolute joy to fire, very simple to aim, care to test your theory against me?

 

[Matt308]

Nope. As an avid shooter and owner of multiple shotguns, unless you have sawed it off there is not much spread at short ranges.

However, if you are asking for a volunteer target...

 

[cheddar cheese]

Yes. Ill come in through your window and execute you with a silenced pistol first.

 

[Matt308]

That's not nice, now is it.

 

[Gnomey]

Since when was burglery nice...

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

Nope. As an avid shooter and owner of multiple shotguns, unless you have sawed it off there is not much spread at short ranges.

However, if you are asking for a volunteer target...

i know there's not much spread i do know about choke all i'm saying is that i'd still have no problem hitting you so go on then, would you be willing to try and prove yourself right by being the target?

 

[Matt308]

As I said, if your asking for a target...

I'd rather not test my facts with anyone thankyou very much.
