Who's into guns?

[skiking]

my problem with HK is $$$$$

[Sgt. Pate]

Here's a couple shots of my EDC (Every Day Carry).  What, no iPod? 

.45ACP Rocks!

I'm kinda partial to the 1911 from my Army days.

[nomad]

this is the best gun I've owned and shot

[Sgt. Pate]

That's my problem... too many good choices!    I've got Glock, S&W, SIG and Springfield...



I might need an H&K for the collection too! 

[DAT Boy]

Yeah, me too.  I was doing calibers, now I need to do brands; maybe the best of the best of each major brand.      For instance, if you had to get only 1 Glock, which model would you get?  Same with H&K, Smith, Colt, etc.

[StogieStang]

My first gun was a Glock 17.  Then I got a Glock 26 to carry.  I thought it's small size would make the G17 my choice at the range, but I actually like shooting the G26 better.

Sarge that is quite the collection of items there.All you need now is a rocket launcher or grenade

Hi, In England if u were caught with just the knife, even in your car u would get a prison sentance, for the gun at least 5 years, no exceptions. I have a shotgun, very hard to even get a licence.

No offense, but remind me not to move to England.  In Florida you can have a loaded gun in your car with no permit, as long as it's legal for you to own a gun.

Pretty offensive thing to say Stang, not everyone in the world has a deep maddening desire to arm themselves to the teeth.

There's that fine line between individual freedoms and protecting the masses.  Every society has its comfort zone, where it is comfortable with it's choices. 
In England, the approach was to take most all of the guns away from society to make it safe.  I've heard that it didn't stop the criminals from having guns and the crime rate went up(according to the National Rifle Association).   
Here in the U.S.A. we hold dear to personal choice and allowing the individual to be responsible.  Of course there is a price to pay for every freedom of choice.  We do get the occasional wacko who goes out and shoots a bunch of innocent people.  We try to enforce laws to prevent these events and have people act responsibly, but in the end it comes down to personal choice and what that society determines is their comfort zone with freedoms.
I'm glad to know what not to pack in my suitcase to England (no knives).  Some countries allow small pocket knives, like the U.S., and some don't.
By the way, on size, and what fits nice, I am personally in love with the Browning Hi-Power.  It's "only" a 9mm, but for me, it works on the range.  But every now and then I like to switch over to a S&W .357, 586 with a 6" barrel.  It's not one to conceal easily, and it only has 6 rounds, but it's true what Dirty Harry said about smaller guns going "bang" and magnums going "boom"    Now we're talking fun!

Guys, let's tone down the gun rights talk and keep this subject on guns and why we love them! 

I don't any at this time, but my dad is getting ready to transfer his Colt 1911 .45 service ACP to me...  I've shot it before and it is a great gun!  Since my dad is very law abiding, he is going to ship it here via a FFL dealer in Michigan to a FFL dealer here after I get my FOID card.
