holeshot said:So that's where I'm at .... what will my next gun? Guns are useless without ammo, so maybe the logical choice would be 22 LR. You can stock up on a 1000 rounds fairly cheap and you could carry 1000 rounds with you (I think). Yeah, it's only a pea shooter, but any smart looter doesn't want to be shot by a 22. And maybe I could shoot the racoon that lives in the sewer and eat him when food runs low.
Obsessions start so innocently .... :p
holeshot said:It kills me when I read some of the internet garbage that the need for a gun is justified "because meth zombies are bouncing off your walls and you need to shoot them quick ... the bigger the caliber, the better, because zombies don't die easy ... you've seen the movies" or how about " you're walking down the street with your daughter walking 20 feet in front of you and someone walks up and points a gun at her head". Jeez, you better be packing a gun or you're an irresponsible parent. If they were responsible, they would move to a better neighborhood. It's paranoid fruit loops like this that will get all of our gun rights taken away.
OK, that being said, when Obama was taking office about 2 years back, there was a fear that he would make guns tough to get --- so -- I went out and bought myself a nice Glock 17 (9 mm). :laugh: I've always liked guns and all my friends and relatives were gun crazy. Heck, one cousin even shot his brothers leg clean off above the knee with a 12 gauge. Today, he walks with barely a limp on his artificial leg ... simply amazing

Aside from recreational target shooting and maybe hunting, I see no need for having a gun for self defense. Well, maybe the exception would be an "anarchy" situation, where there was a large earthquake or nuclear attack or some other calamity causing lawlessness and looting by people who want your stuff (food, etc.)
