Any guns owners, hunters, or shooters here?

You don't want to try shooting or knife throwing

Either way, if you don't, you should give shooting a try. A .22 rifle will give you hours worth of shooting for under 20$ of ammo.

I think he meant that he didn't want to try shooting something off your head.

I made sure that the old long Mausers, Schmidt-Rubins and Mosin-Nagants would comfortably fit in the trunk before I bought my Yaris. (Have to pull the bayonets off of the Mosins, though.)

Don't own any.

Shot a .38 once after some lessons. Loved it.

Will teach both of my children when they get older.

Well as the resident weapons nut it's nice to see others with my interests.
My Concealed weapon I carry at all times is a HK USP45. It use to be my winter gun and in the summer I'd carry a Browning Highpower in 9 mm. Just got use to carrying the HK all year around.

OK- I gotta' ask- what's with the summer/winter gun routine? Sounds like some excuse a gun collector would use to convince his wife that he needs another gun!

The Browning might be a tiny bit more compact, but....

Thanks,
Charlie

An H&K USP and a Browning High Power? Neither is a particularly small carry gun. Did you carry the Browning in condition one?

I have a few pistols, and have access to a few rifles and shotguns. I really enjoy putting 9mm and 0.22" holes in paper, and 0.308" holes in both paper and old hard drives. Although it's never occurred to me to shoot at a living creature, I save a box of ammo for zombies. Clay pigeons are fun to shoot, too.

summer/winter? It's the difference in clothing. Winter for me is a J-frame in a DeSantis inside pocket holster in my jacket. Summer is normally a fanny pack.

Besides normal guns, do spear guns count? I have a pneumatic spear gun with an interchangable barrel. One is about 4 foot long so I have to put the bottom on my feet and the tip of the spear in my hands to cock it. The other barrel is a foot long, so it will make a kind of underwater pistol. Too bad most US states don't allow fishing with pneumatics.

I have some guns too, but my brother is the real hunter in the family.

Garden- I have a Kramer "wallet looking" holster that allows me my J-frame in my pocket and it just prints like a rectangular wallet ( works better if you have your wife slightly deepen the pocket). This is like you De Santis holster,I guess?
I have waist band holsters for my 229 and Glock 27.

I rarely carry a gun on my person-strictly in the car/truck when traveling or going to certain areas of NOLA at night.
