Why wouldnt an AK be a good gun for defense anywhere?? Considering there are 100 Million of them I think they have proven them selves since 1947.Its not my first pick but it will do any job you want it to. Why do you feel that way about an AK? If it were a Mini 30 rifle would it be ok? Or is it because the way they look

Only 12 generations?

You may live in a blue state, but are residing in a red county!
Which is why I love living here!

In an urban environment, with neighbors, would you really want to chance shooting a any rifle at close range? Thats just my opinion.

I smile every day that I drive over the border back into NH

I hear ya, but Glocks are over-rated plastic guns, why not get a all metal, U.S. Army stamped, real deal Beretta 9 mm?

Hubby doesn't call me Annie for nothin'
sign on home: never mind the dog (image of gun) beware the owner

If you are in my home and threaten us your knees may remain in tact but don't count on it.

Live in So Cal where Hubby was born. He is very skilled and we taught the daughter as well

Got one of them too...well a Beretta Elite (which is an illegal gun in MA now)....all set with the M9's lol have handled more than my share of them.


Nothing wrong with Glocks...not on problem ever in the ones I have had..just glad I can buy any make or model of firearm that my heart desires without having that "Together we can" weenie deciding what is best for me.


How the hell did he ever get elected??? Nevermind...that's why I escaped

Distinct minority here.Never had a gun,don't want one,don't feel the need for one(and I'm a 1/4 mile north of Detroit).When a gun is too readily at hand,it's too likely to be used.
The problem with the 2nd Amendment is that it was formulated over 230 years ago when life was nothing like it is now.No way could our forefathers have anticipated life as we know it-large cities,more than ample food supply,motor vehicles,etc.I wonder if they had to draft the amendment today would they consider "arms" to be tanks,mortar shells, cannons and bombs?Where do you stop?

I respect your opionion and willingness to post in this thread.
To me it's part of Freedom to choose, if you choose not to have a gun, not comfortable with them, don't own one. I'm not a criminal, why deny my choice to own a gun. I'm no danger to you, even if I lived next door to you.
