Good Times( I like it when)

Several. Mix of handguns and rifles mostly with a few shotguns I've collected. My baby is a Colt LE6920. It's the civilian version of the military M4 rifle. I've installed a Piccadilly rail that holds an Eotech holographic red dot sight and a 4X magnifier scope for longer range shooting. It's taken me a few years to get it built like I want but at 350-500 yards, it's absolutely dead on accurate, even using the iron sights. Sigh....now I want to go to the range......

...Piccadilly Rail?????...where in hell didja get that???...bloody London?....I'll stick with my Picatinny Rail thanks!....

it is a lotta gun...put a hole in the hood of my truck, demolished the scope that was mounted up top, cracked the windshield...but it did not draw any blood. I don't know, for certain, what happened, although it might have been a case that had a hairline split. this other time I'm plinking at things w/a .38 Taurus ultra-light and a bullet ricocheted back from a chunk of concrete I'd shot at and hit grazed my temple, the frame of my glasses. Enough force had been expended that it did nothing more than scare the hell out of me. Don't tell my wife! I wanted to hunt whitetail with the Casull, but after that experience I've shied away. Have a .50 that's a blast to shoot...shot at some old paint this once...sent the cans and paint flying fifty feet into the air. I don't reload .50s!

...good thing it didn't blow YOUR scope off....

...I have stated this elsewhere, that when I took my Concealed carry training-it was stressed many times, that if it's a "property crime" when the perp is in your home, i.e. stealing your flat screen-and they are leaving with it, just let them go! Shooting someone just because you can't watch Survivor is NOT a defensible or legitimate scenario...only, as Frank alluded to-if you feel that you or your loved ones are in imminent danger-THEN you shoot to kill, not maim, but stop firing once the intruder is down...the Castle Doctrine will protect you from civil action, but be prepared to suffer an Inquisition regarding the use of your weapon, even if it's an obvious beyond sall doubt shoot...criminals living or dead still appear to have more rights then we do...as a side note...IMO, the best defense weapon in the home of an amateur shooter is a shotgun loaded with double ought buck...20 gauge or bigger...good spread pattern, knockdown power and won't penetrate walls like rifles or handguns...

I'd look forward to letting a burglar leave with stuff, and not shooting him/her. It'd be pitiful even to just wound such a person with a handgun. A pellet gun? Well, not as pitiful, but we aren't discussing pellet guns, of course.

A guy I met who used to be a Georgia policeman told me that State law is that a property owner can shoot to kill anyone as close to his/her house as to be under the eaves. I seriously doubt that this law causes anyone's death who doesn't mean to proceed beyond the eaves. I figure even in the case of the existence of a law like this that each incident is carefully investigated. Hopefully, abuses of the law are thus exposed.
