yeah, I use an 870 for home defense. I wish I had dogs.If I had dogs I would just keep 2 of my glocks loaded in a biosafe and just whip those out once I heard dogs barking. I also don't have kids so I can keep my 870 relatively accessible.
I know people who CCW government 1911's, but a 8 1/2 inch .500 is just plain awesome, haha. Not only are you packing monstrous heat but you also get the side benefit of appearing to be a human tripod.
I honestly don't bring guns up and normally stay quiet when people talk about them. A few people are cool with them but many are not. I just have tons of friends outside of school that go to shows with me and shoot.
I think the bolded part is absolutely correct. Most people who hate guns never had to live in a crappy part of town, never watched two people in the same week get mugged at gun point outside your home, and never had a neighbor be the victim of a home invasion. Nor have they shot them and realized gun ownership can be a fun hobby and a skill. Nuts are people who buy guns to kill people. We don't do that, we buy them for leisure and protection, in the rare event we need them.
You make it sound like you would want to be sterile. One of my greatest fears!
I have a Barrett .50 rifle (Model 99, single not SA), and we have .50 desert eagle. In addition to the .307, .30-06, .223, .44 mag pistol, FN 5.7, a few 1911 .45acp, a .44 mag rifle (my fav rifle), and a bunch of stuff I can't remember without opening the safes... and I'm a GIRL
And this is what happens to a cabbage when hit with a .50 round...
You know, there are ways to be sexually active without doing the one activity that can get you pregnant. Dan Savage mentions this frequently in his column.
Um, those babies died of natural causes.
Take a Hunter's Safety class. Good times.
Wow, I am kind of suprised you ended up getting into guns. I grew up around them so they're no big deal to me. How'd you end up getting into them with such an anti-gun family?
I actually went out and bought a level 2 vest after a very close call at a state run outdoor range here. I wear it pretty much every time I shoot. Got a rifle plate for it too...just in case when the zombies apocalypse comes I will be even more protected
But the procedure is an abortion nonetheless, no?
Not at all. You're not aborting anything. You're just evacuating the uterus. Any hospital in the US with an obstetrics department would do it for you (including Catholic hospitals), but there are exceedingly few places that can or will do a late-term elective abortion. Not sure how many would do it for severe birth defects.
. Murder charges will not stick, especially since late-term abortions are legal in Maryland.
In the case of actual death of the fetus that makes sense, but I was thinking more of a situation like "it's going to die within an hour of birth" or something. I guess that falls under "severe birth defects?"
Who was talking about religion? I hadn't seen any of that in this thread, and there's really no need to start.
This is the same thing I was trying to ask Nick - is your opposition based in believing a fetus has rights that need to be protected, or are you interested in punishing people for what you view to be irresponsible?
I wasn't aware you had some incredible insight to the specifics of the population's positions as a whole. Do you have some good sources for correlations of abortion stance and education level? (And yes, you inadvertently worded that in such a way that implies that you are uneducated)
You buy the steaks and I will bring the 9mm. Nothing like grillin' and shootin' out on the range.
Twelve year olds can't even legally buy their own guns. Football is only on for 6 months out of the year. Football is awesome, but not that awesome.
I'll have some grilled chicken though...
