Because I'd shoot before asking questions and all I would have to say is this, "I was afraid for the life of me and my family." That way, even if he's unarmed, I was still defending my life and the life of my family. So the robber would loose a knee cap in hte process. I doubt he'd rob anther house again. There's nowhere I can't reach.

In the USA, only semi-automatic or below is allowed for a civillian. The rest are for the cops and the army.
How ya doing, buddy?

Just spray and pray. The MP5 however, is more or less an assault weapon. Also, depending on the model, the MP5 can barrage the target with about 700-800RPM. The Glock 18C however, has a cyclic rate of fire of 1100 to 1300 RPM, depending on the ammunition. So technically, removing the weight from the MP5 would still be incomparable to firing a Glock 18C. Also, any C designated model from Glock is compensated, the barrel and slide both being ported as to decrease the recoil. FELIPE NO |
I have a 6 bullet revolver from the 1970's with bullets so old there's a decent chance they would detonate if I tried to fire them. Not only that, but the key to the box it's kept in is on a whole other floor of the house so if I ever wanted to use it against a burglar I might as well smash it against the concrete floor a few times. Such great protection, eh?
I wouldn't want to use a gun if someone broke in here anyway. Chances are the burglar has more experience with it anyway, so I might as well stick to sharp/heavy objects. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Jam it back in, in the dark. oh my gawddd |
Yes I own a rifle, pistol and shotgun, they arent mine though, families but I do know a little about them just not the makers. Rifles: Standard .22 - Dont know the maker SKS - Russian made assault ridle Pistols: .45 Smith and Wesson .357 magnum .44 magnum Shotguns: 20 gauge 12 gauge 12 gauge over-under If I could have anything, if I could hold onto it probably a Desert Eagle, or an M14, that would be sick. Or Id love a suppressed MP5 by HecklerKoch....that would be creamworthy. I would love to go squirrel hunting with it. How ya doing, buddy? |
It fires similar ammunition faster... That means more recoil. Personally speaking if I wanted something like that a Micro Uzi would be more fitting.
In a situation where I have to shoot at someone I want to kill them (preferably in one hit), not spray the whole neighborhood up with bullets. I'd love to have on of Mag Magnum Research's .44 mag or .50 Desert Eagle. I can see the cool factor in something like that but cool will only take you so far and isn't the cool factor that will keep you alive in a life and death situation. Jiraiya: SKS are neat and cheap too but for about 300 more USD you can get a semi auto AK47 which is a modern assault rifle. Most amazing jew boots "In a somewhat related statement.

By the way, you must meet force with equal force. If you shot an unarmed robber, he can sue you. I don't agree with it, but that is how the law is written.
I was speaking idiomatically.
"We Stole the Eagle from the Air Force, the Anchor from the Navy, and the Rope from the Army. On the seventh day, while God rested, we over-ran his perimeter and stole the globe, and we've been running the show ever since. We live like soldiers, talk like sailors, and slap the hell out of both of them. WARRIORS BY DAY, LOVERS BY NIGHT, PROFESSIONALS BY CHOICE, AND MARINES BY THE GRACE OF GOD."

Honestly, if the situation came up where I had to fire a gun at someone, I don't think I'll be able to do it. Either that, I'll botch up and somehow end up hitting someone else unintentionally.
But I've always had a fascinations with AKs. My friend in Iraq says he picked up quite a few AK clips while on patrol. Too bad he can't bring any back to the States. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
So you are the guy that walks around his house/family with a loaded gun in his back pocket and shoots anything that moves. People like you and stereotypical hicks are why people from other countries hate the US. Good job. FELIPE NO |

We all have the right to bear arms! I mean, these lumps of flesh hanging down from my shoulders can be quite a burden sometimes.
Seriously, though, I would have to say that the U.S. Constitution doesn't really allow for individual people to own guns. That being said, I feel that it should be perfectly okay for citizens to own guns. Admittedly, there would be less crime without them, but some people feel safer knowing they have a gun that, in a time of need, can allow them to defend themselves. I do not own a gun, simply because I have no need for one (and maybe because my parents wouldn't allow it). If there ever came a time where I did find it necessary, I'd get one. It's that simple. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Citizen owner ship reduces crime, simply put; none of this bullshit I so often hear of leaving it to the professions. Don’t you ever wonder why people don’t rob homes in Texas? NVM there is no fucking point in arguing if you have these absolutely baseless and stupid preconceived ideas... BTW if you ever find yourself in a situation where you need a firearm you can’t just go get one. Make sure to tell the criminal to hold on while you go to the store and buy a gun. Good luck with three day waiting period! Back to the topic! So Mr. Acro-nym if you ever found yourself in a situation needing a pistol and convinced the stupid criminal to let you go buy one, what would be your first choice? Jam it back in, in the dark.

Nah..weapons are tools for the weak.
If you can't break a tank into pieces by kickpunching it, it means you still need training! I was speaking idiomatically. |
Uh... yeah. GTFO.

As you can tell by the above, I'm quite the fan of firearms. The only ones I own are unfortunately quite pedestrian, a lever-action Winchester, two Remington 1100 12-gauge shotguns, and the most interesting of the bunch, a Ruger breakapart over-under shotgun. My interest, however, lies mostly in the firearms used by the world's militaries, i.e. assault rifles, machine guns and the like. Edit: I'd like to add something: To the guy who said he'd like to own a Desert Eagle in .50AE.... No. No, you do not. That's way too much gun for any purpose except hunting very large animals, such as moose or bears. Not only that, it takes a hell of a set of wrists to fire it, and even then it has a nasty tendency to stovepipe (a condition where the gun goes barrel-up in the shooter's hands). It also frequently jams, due to the .50AE cartridge being too big to squeeze out of the ejection port at times. It's an entirely impractical weapon for shooting at people. If you're looking for a hand cannon, .44 revolvers are a much better choice. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Harmonica: Yes the .50 Desert Eagle is way over kill... but the .44 mag desert eagle while not as a .50 it is still a huge nasty hand cannon.
Jiraiya: Not all AKs are made equally and because it is such a prolific design there is a lot of less than desirable AKs. BTW have you ever used an M-16A2? Shit those things feel like they will break in your hands and they are still pretty accurate. x86: Smartass. andkeener: You assume a lot. You can say what ever you want, but the fact is when I am put into a situation where I am in need of a tool that can save my life, I will have it. You make it out to sound like I am some hick out shooting everything that moves, sort of makes you out to be an ignorant ass :/ People who are anti-gun and choose not own a firearm now have very few options when someone breaks into their home with a gun and has the intent to murder. I never said that you'd never get shot by owning a guy but the simple fact is this Mr. andkeener, most criminals are cowards and want an easy target. If I have a gun and am willing to use it when needed, I am no longer a easy target, no in fact I am now a very dangerous target. This is the land of the free, you can say what you will, but don't come bitching when someone you know gets raped and murdered in their own home because they had no way to defend themselves. I rely on myself, what do you rely on? Acro-nym: Both. I was being a smart ass for most of that so try not to take me toooooo serious even if I do disagree with you on a few things. Also I wanted to know what kind of pistol you would want, not that you would want a pistol :/ GarretThe Thief: The P-90 is pretty neat but the civi version of it, I believe it is called the PS-90 is butt ass ugly. They extended the barrel and give it a rather unbalanced look. There is a huge waiting list for the semi auto version of the PN-90(? I might have them backwards) besides they are expensive. I'd rather just have a SKS until the Assault weapons ban gets lifted (if it gets lifted... ) Jam it back in, in the dark. "In a somewhat related statement.

All of a sudden the strangest calm came over me. I was standing there about four feet away from the door so there was no way I was going to miss whoever came through it, pointing the gun at the door, and I was suddenly extremely calm and self-assured. I remember calmly thinking, "OK. I'm going to have to shoot whoever comes through that door." I stood like that for a few minutes, 100% certain that I was going to have to shoot someone and dreading it, yet not really fearing it and definitely not doubting that I would do it. The next thing I knew, the police were pulling up in my driveway. That's when I collapsed into a quivering heap of jelly. Turns out a stick had been blown against one of our windows hard enough to cause the glass break sensor to go off, but in retrospect I'm glad it happened, because until then I never knew how I would handle a situation like that. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
