Load and Make Ready!

Rounding out my membership into the RWBCNJ* club I thought I would post some of my Tools of Evil Destruction(TM)…also known as Guns to all the rest of you, my comrades in arms. I do not know why I have been remiss thus far in sharing these with the rest of the group. I shared pics of the Boat, the Tractor, and the 4x4…this is all that is left other than a cooler of beer. Then my credentials as a RWBCNJ Redneck will be complete. I won’t share all the pics at once that way if any of our friends of the more liberal persuasion see this they won’t go into shock and run hysterically screaming from the room. It is not my intention to scare anyone.

Just bought this TO-DAY. My first foray into the “scary black guns” It is a Hi Point 9mm Carbine. It shoots SA-Weet. Burned about 100 rounds through it today. My ears are still ringing. A Flashlight and a red-dot scope are definitely on the list.

Due to the fact I have a surgically repaired shoulder I get to play with these too. Cross-bows are bad ass. Silent and deadly. Just the way I like it.

Remington model 742 in 30.06. I actually have matching ones. Because one 30.06 just is not enough. In the picture here it is snuggling up to the new ‘9.

Here is one you won’t see every day. On the left is a Bolt Action 16 Ga. Shotgun that belonged to my Pappy…er…Maternal Grandfather to any of the elitists still with us. To the right of that is my .50 cal Muzzle Loader.

And lastly, for this post, (and I had to go downstairs to the other gun case for this one) is my .22-250. You know for those long distance calls. Nothing like shattering everlasting gobstoppers at 200 yards. Who knew they exploded when hit by a tiny projectile traveling a coupla times the speed of sound?

So….there is a few of my odes to the second amendment. What d’y’all think?

Thank You Bunni, this is about 1/4th of it. It was a blast today.
You have a nice weekend too!
Gobstoppers...had to look that one up. I never heard jawbreakers called gobstoppers. Anyway, you sure have a handsome arsenal. Learning how to shoot is on my bucket list.

That is what they call them in willy wonka and the chocolate factory. Well if you ever come to Southwest Missouri I would gladly take you to the range.
You're the first person I've run into that owns a Hi-Point carbine. At a quick glance from the oblique it looks a skosh like a Thompson without the stick clip inserted....I own a Hi-Point .45 auto myself. Don't shoot it as much as I'd like to, but it stays next to my bed as a just-in-case nonetheless.
I have a Hi Point .40 Really wanted the carbine in .40 but they quit makin em in that caliber. It is a great little gun. I dont go all out for all the gee-gaws, but I do want a flashlight and a little scope for it.
I sleep right next to my .40 a filled up with Winchesters best self defense rounds.
I bet you could have got hem here for half of what you paid anywhere else in the country. Guns are that cheap (yes, legal ones) here. Those are beautiful, take care of them, because I fear a time may be coming when you may need them to take care of you. (from big brother who is going to come knocking on your door wanting to take them away) I have never owned a gun although I do own several other personal and property protection devices, despite my NRA membership. I have a nasty temper, combined with brain damage and while you rarely see it anymore, the reason I don't own a gun is because with my head injury, I could at some point just go off the deep end very suddenly. Therefore, I believe the responsible thing (for me) is not to own a gun. I often reconsider that position but it always comes back to what if... and I support RESPONSIBLE gun ownership. It is a responsibility that I take, (just like driving) very seriously. I am considering getting a gun and having it stored somewhere where a family member besides me would have to access it so that if for some reason I "snapped" I would no be able to grab it and go. Nothing like that has ever happened to me before, living with PCD means understanding that the risk of suddenly losing your marbles is 1000% higher than with someone without PCD (post concussion disorder). This house I live in is closer to a maze than a house and I have several personal protection devices stashed around the house, just not guns (that use bullets). I do have things that I can use to shoot people with that will leave them permanently blinded for example. (homemade "pepper spray with pool acid added) foe example.

I dunno, I got a secret little gun shop out here. Guy does a good business, but it is a little secret shop out behind his house. If I told you what I got the 22-250, the .40, or this carbine for I bet most people would be slackjawed amazed.
COOL! I hope they are legit, if so then I wish him all the success in the world. Gun prices are way up but are still dirt cheap here compared to most parts of the country. Hey, give me a call, so we can discuss manly how much I need to reimburse you for lodging and there are a few other topics regarding he trip I'd like to ask you about. I've called you a few times and got no answer. My number is different now, If I neglected to give you my new one, let me know in an e-mail. If you tell me a good time, I can call you.
He is legit, totally legal beagle.
I will give you a call either Mon or Tues evening. My cousin has moved in with me and I have been super busy this week. Sorry for not getting back to you.
I've always wanted to learn to bow hunt. I've shot an arrow or two and something about the silence and precision of a good cross bow just sits right with me.
hi KOOK..I think I wont be messin with u anytime soon..lol :)
KOOK - Great collection of arms. I am jealous that you are able to take advantage of your 2nd amendment rights so close to home. I learned to hunt deer with a Winchester lever action 30 30. My grandgather seasoned me with the proper handling of firearms at a young age, RIP grandpa.

Anyway I didn't take my first deer untile I was 18 in CO, I took it down with a compound bow amazingly. I used to be such a great shot with a variety of guns, ( my fav is my Ruger 10/22, stainless steel), I'm now a bit out of practice.
My Dad brought me down his SKS earlier this year...so I surmised I need another semi-auto for the other arm and bought an AK-47 last month. Then I went home last week and shot Dad's .454 and his Taurus .45. I think I know what Santa's stuffing my stocking with this Christmas.
The Hi Point carbine is one of the most fun guns that I have ever shot. I love mine. What kind of black powder rifle is that?

It worked as advertised. First time shooting it I was low and to the left, and I usually am. 5 minutes of adjusting sights and I was putting 3 shot groups inthe orange at 25 yards with the open sights. I am no annie oakley but I thought that was probably good enough for first time shooting it.

You know, I can't remember what brand the black powder is. I inherited that from my step dad and I have never shot it yet.
