Guns in the USA

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Anybody here who can recommend a small handgun for the accident prone novice? Preferably one with laser guided bullets and a stain resistance windshield.

LOL...seriously? probably less than $300, with trigger lock. I'd want something that's not too bulky - thinking that at some point, I'd try to get a concealed weapons permit.

Not my bag, and I think the laws are too lax. Too much gun crime in this country.

you might be adding some to that price by the time you are done, but one gun i just love is my daewoo dh-40 .40 cal which is about that price. trigger locks are fairly inexpensive btw and they are an aftermarket item.

how big is your hand? i'm guessing you'll be able to handle a double stack magazine semi-auto, i'd recommend that you don't go for anything less than a .40 for conceal carry. a 9mm is too underpowered imo. don't go get a cannon either, remember you have to carry this thing around.

also check the cali laws regarding concealed carry - this was not the case for me in kansas, but in texas if you qualify at the course with a revolver you can only carry a revolver, but if you qualify with a semi-auto you could carry both (this was several years ago i heard this from my dad, don't know if it's changed since or not).

I am a female and own 3 guns. A .22 for squirrel and rabbit hunting, a Remington 1100 Automatic for turkey, duck and goose hunting - and I also use it for trap shooting, and a 30-06 Winchester for deer hunting. I love the fact that I can own a gun if I want to but I believe in the USA, they are too accessible to people who should not have access to weapons. I keep mine locked with trigger locks and have them under lock and key. I have two daughters, ages 9 and 7 and want them to use them as well someday if they so choose. But I think that it is my responsiblity to teach them responsibility. I have a lot of mixed feelings when it comes to "arms" and would not want to start a "revolution". I just enjoy them and hope that I can continue to enjoy them.

Thanks, Charles. I'm pretty sure my brother (the cop) was carrying around a 9mm in one of those fannypacks when he was off duty, but it's been years since I've seen him wear a fannypack.

don't want one, don't need one, don't see the need for them, other than for hunting for game.

Male, own a Glock .45 for defense and sport shooting, laws are too restrictive. The burden should be on the government to demonstrate why I should not be allowed to own/carry a gun, not the other way around. The focus should be placed on criminals who use guns, not on law-abiding citizens. They could start with disarming gang members...

[bora bora 1]

Female - don't have one and don't want one.

I agree that the gun laws are too lax. The last thing we need is another gun in this country...

[JeanneVictoria 55]

Female....have one ( Beretta)
