Agreed. What they don't take into account is when you live out like I do the police are 30 min away. A 9 mm and a 12 ga beats 911 any day. Originally Posted by tx-colonelYep, that will do the trick.
My driveway is 100 yds long. .308 is the second line of defense. I am looking at an Armalyte .50 to stop people and vehicles. Originally Posted by sparrow1122Are you expecting an attack on your home?

A 50 cal will destroy an engine. Would it turn a vehicle into a fire ball ..only in the movies. I want more fire power than a bolt action rifle. At about $3 a round, you will quickly lose interest in shooting it unless you reload and then it is still expensive. Originally Posted by EZ.

I enjoy long range shooting. If a unannounced vehicle is coming down the drive....the 50 will stop them. Maybe not the round but the muzzle flash and percussion will tell them to stop.
If I am protecting the house....AR's in 308. Throw a lot of lead while the are out away from the house.
I would rather end the situation at the fence versus on the porch.
When I lived in Dallas I had a 9mm with Glazer safety slugs as they did not go through walls very well. 1/4 inch penetration and athen the energy is dispersed laterally. Very nasty round.
The shot guns are for garden defense against rabbits. Can't wait for silencer!
Have a great day! Originally Posted by sparrow1122

I have started my girls shooting the same 22 that I, my dad and granddad all learned to shoot on. They think it's cool that they're able to hold something that their great grandfather held when he was their age.

My family was exiled from Canada in 1755 to the swamps of southern Louisiana. We have fought, for this country, in the war of 1812, battle of New Orleans. Two family members are on the San Juacinto monument. My Grandfather was wounded in the trenches of WW1. My father in WWII. Two uncles in Korea and I spent three tours in Vietnam. You have the nerve to tell me to go to Canada. Go fuck yourself. Originally Posted by EZ.Nice Story. Are you a writer ? You forgot the Battle of Cadez.
Nice Story. Are you a writer ? You forgot the Battle of Cadez.No. Not a writer. I can only track by roots the the exile. I don't give a fuck whether he knew that.
How the fuck is he going to know that ? Originally Posted by Louc4
