Another New Toy....

[Mynock]

The girlfriend left me unsupervised at the gun show for 10 minutes.....tried to warn her about doing that but she just didn't understand.
Weatherby PA-495 12 gauge. 5+1, ghost ring sights, seats into my shoulder like it grew there, AND has what's got to be the most bad-ass camo pattern I've ever seen.

Rifled barrel or smoothbore? Chambered for 3" mags I assume.

That should keep the raccoon off the back porch.

Smoothbore. Supposed to shoot 2 3/4" and 3" shells, havn't tried any 3" yet. Went through a 100 round value pack of #8 than ran a few loads of buck through it because I didn't think my shoulder hurt enough haha....shoots as nice as it looks too, all those loads and the only time it hiccuped was when I accidently short stroked it twice.

The fact that Americans think guns are toys....

Thank goodness for the Atlantic.

Ah, we've had this discussion before. "Toy" is merely a metaphor. No responsible gun owner, and I believe everyone here likely falls into that category, is going to treat a firearm as such. The first words regarding guns that I ever heard from my father as he handed me a .22 was "This is not a toy." My daughter is now 12 and she has already heard that same thing over and over along with all the rules for handling a gun. This summer we'll go shoot some cans and by the time she is old enough to be with a gun on her own she will know what to do properly. When she's 16 there will be a gun safety course taught at the local rec center. This is how you create people who know the difference between a toy and the real thing.

What is bad are those who don't recognize that the United States is Constitutionally fixed in a gun culture and do not learn what they should about the subject.

Yes, thank goodness for the Atlantic. It keeps me 1500 miles from Lomax's country where you have to submit to a background check to buy a pizza cutter.

Actually you're three thousand miles away - from a country where the murder rate is about a quarter the American one.

OK, OK - I know. There is much that I admire about America: and much that I find deeply puzzling.
