I Got A Gun
    #8068490 - 02/25/08 12:56 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

Ruger 10/22 Carbine.

I don't know anything about guns and I've only shot one once when I was a child. I decided to get one because guns have always been such unfamiliar territory to me.

Got a cleaning kit, disassembled the gun, gave it an initial cleaning, and learned about how it works this morning.

Is there anything else I should know, besides the obvious? I would like to go out shooting some cans in the desert today.

I have always been weary to have a gun around. Just the small amount of paranoia in the back of my head that says "What if I get tripping to hard and freak out and a gun seems like the best defense against anything."

Hmm, I hadn't thought of that. I have a lock and key that prevents it from being loaded or fired, but still..

Just remember: Keep it pointed at the dirt and finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire. Safty first!

My first gun is going to be an AK-47. I'm pretty familiar with firearms though.

IF I wanted an automatic AK-47, and I don't, I would just buy the fully automatic trigger disassembly. They're legal, but there is some ridiculous distance it has to be from your weapon. It's unenforceable. Or I could just get someone to machine and fix a disabled WW2 automatic weapon.

.22 is prone to ricochet, pointing it at the dirt is
definitely a bad idea, the better option is to treat it and
all fire arms as if they're loaded and ready to fire and to
never load the rifle until you are ready to fire it

never point the thing at another person, even if unloaded. keep safety on when not in use, keep unloaded when not in use.. you know, all that smart shit so you never have to look like a reckless asshole.

GL guns are fun..

for your next, go for something a little higher caliber

its a nice thought in the back of many americans' mind that they could stand up to their government. it's written in our constitution. we couldnt, no fucking way not with these crazy new weapons technologies that our government has, but it's a nice thought. it worked in the past, and it was sort of, y'know, the way our country was created.

as soon as i get enough money im gonna get a gun and become proficient in its use. Well, 'cause you gotta be able to ward off the zombie apocalypse when it comes.

Is Australia like Great Britain? do your police carry guns?

like great britain in what way? yeah our police carry pistols.

But semi automatic and automatic guns a illigal over here because of a man called Martin Bryant (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Bryant) thank god that shit happened, or else we might have school gunmans once a month like you guys.

i think you might have misunderstood me. I had the shotgun first (as you only have to be 18 to buy one), and sold it when i turned 21 for the Glock 19.

I love the glock, it's perfect size, and the ammo isn't too expensive (~$11/50rd)

agreed. guns are cool for like skeet shooting and if your an actual hunter, but imo, having a gun your house for protection is a bad idea. guns are so much power in such a small form that i refuse to have one, expect for paintball guns.
