^^ This guy has more guns than my whole platoon had in Iraq lmao...

So according to my state law, its legal to own any sort of rifle/shotgun with no permit. HOWEVER, any fully automatic gun is illegal, so would owning something like say, an ak47 provided it was semi auto be legal? I figure i'd ask here since most of the people here seem to know about this kinda thing.

Owning a full auto rifle isn't necessarily illegal, per se, but it is heavily regulated. There are even legit fully auto AKs that were imported before 1986, though they are tightly regulated.
In most states (not quite sure where Noobville is  ) AKs converted to semi auto and of sufficient length and other such requirements are treated no different than any other rifle. Be sure to check local and state regulations though.

Check with your local police station or ATF or NRA or some other expert in state gun law.

I own 4 guns, soon to be 5. All of them are for hunting purposes, some to even fulfill the same role (I'll explain what I mean in my post).
.22 Remington 597 (I use for Gophers)
+ Show Spoiler +http://www.remington.com/en/products/firearms/rimfire/model-597/model-597.aspx
12 ga. Browning BPS (Hunting dove, quail, ducks, and pheasants)
+ Show Spoiler +http://www.browning.com/products/catalog/family.asp?webflag_=011b
28 ga. CZ Redhead Over-Under (Hunting dove, when using my 12 ga doesn't present much of a "challenge" anymore ie when there's so many birds that I'd prefer to pick my shots more carefully.)
+ Show Spoiler +]http://cz-usa.com/products/view/redhead-deluxe-103-de/
.270 Remington SPS with a 3-12 x 40 Nikon BDC scope (for deer, sheep, and coyotes)
+ Show Spoiler +http://www.realguns.com/articles/247.htm
I use all of my guns for hunting, but plan on purchasing a handgun soon. I just received my CHS certificate just a few weeks ago and am in the process of coming up with the 2 required proofs of residency. California gun laws are...strict, to say the least.

Does your 597 jam alot? Mine did. Two different ones with all kinds of different 22LR ammo. I do have the VTR though.

It doesn't jam "alot," but has jammed a time or two in the past. What has happened to me on multiple occasions was that the shell casing wasn't ejected quickly enough before the chamber closed. This would lead to a shell getting trapped or "slammed" into the groove where the action rests. IIRC this only happens though when I'm firing faster than ~1 shot every second or so for 10+ seconds, but if it's happening during a more "normal" rate of fire, you might want to send it back or check to see if it's still under a warranty.

The Remington 597 has extractor problems that can easily replaced with after market parts and also first gen all plastic mags suck they cause feeding issues, get second or third gen mags. So get that extractor replaced and get better mags.

Strange, some people I talked to said the problem was the after market parts. I'll give this a shot. And yeah, me trying to shoot it like a full auto might have something to do with it too.

Not just online. If you're buying something, ask if they have ammo for it before you buy it. Shit's impossible to find.

Just bought a Mosin-Nagant M91/30 for $120. It was one of the picked over guns (local army surplus store started with about 300 in stock and I bought mine when there were 30 left), but it's still in pretty good shape.
Next up for me is an AR-15.

A suggestion: Hurry up and buy the lower receiver. It's cheap and has the serial number on it. Then, if something new comes in as far as laws and it grandfathers things, you should be able to ignore it due to having the serial registered first.
Even if you decide to build or buy something legit, the value of a grandfathered lower will probably double or triple at least within just a few months.

You buy from budsgunshop? I try to stop by there every chance I get.
Why is ammo so hard to find right now? Just because people are stocking up from the Newport thing or does everyone know something I don't? I just visited a few retailers and they were only willing to let customers have a few boxes of ammo - even in 9mm and 22LR.

Any time politicians start making a lot of noise about new gun laws, people start stocking up. Not new.
Hard to find anything except weird calibers right now here in the Austin area.

Can't speak for around the country but my friend was complaining about the same thing. Buying an old 22 off him for casual shooting at the range and complained about that.
Not to start up anything on politics but after Obama got elected there was an ammo shortage for almost a year from people stocking up for fear of Obama's possible anti gun policies. I'm assuming it happened again since he is now in his second term and re-election is no longer a concern for him.
They ration the ammo to prevent people from buying entire shipments to resell at a higher price I believe.
