Great rifle. I use it mainly on deer and occasionally goats. When hunting rabbits with .22lr, do you generally have to get a headshot? Will a shot through the lungs penetrate the whole rabbit? I'm considering hunting jackrabbits this winter. | ||

It'd probably be best if I made the gun inoperable then. i can take out the firing pin and it won't fire, right? Sure I can find a manual... Honestly, there is no reason not to try at all and you will be fine for at least a couple dozen shots so long as you keep the stock against your shoulder. | ||

.270 rifle 30/30 rifle Cheap .22 rifle Cheap .22 revolver but my "baby" is the my Springfield Armory XD in .45. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://www.defensereview.com/springfieldarmory/Springfield%20Armory%20XD%20.45%20GAP%20Pistol_5.jpg) Home defense and target practice for fun. Guns I hope to end someday: 1. 1911 Handgun 2. .357 revolver (you can shoot .38 ammo in this which are cheaper and save the nice .357 ammo for special occassions) 3. Some kind of nice .22 handgun for target practice 4. The mandatory pump 12 gauge I'm not really a rifle person cause I don't hunt much. My father in law is a huge hunter (think 5-6 elk, 3-4 deer, turkeys, etc per year) and he owns over 30 rifles. How many guns does a man need? "Only 1 more" | ||

Also, to gun owners in general, I'm wondering if there are any gun owners who own guns solely for the purpose of protection. And, what kinds of things contribute to the desire for having this level of protection, since not everyone feels that they need that much protection during their everyday lives. Is it possibly the neighbourhood you live in... i.e. Lots of robberies and break-ins in your region? Or is it just a general sense of extra safety that you feel you need? So yeh, more along the psychology behind owning guns... Oh, and what is "grandfathering"? The only reason I keep one is for the bears and even than I usually have the big dog come out with me and keep it locked up. I dunno not keen on melleing a bear. | ||

Isn't the better solution to slap down the people shitting up the thread, rather than trash the thread to prevent it getting shit on? I mean, don't get me wrong, I rolled my eyes when I saw this, and expected it to be closed by now, but it would be nice if a thread like this could survive. Although I must say, your analysis of the situation made me giggle a tad bit. | ||

Given the completely inability to read the OP, let alone to have common sense, you'd probably have to ban them later elsewhere. I'd bet half the posts follow the OP, I see hope for this thread.  | ||

I'd probably want to keep them at a shooting range because I think having them at home increases risk of accident. Obviously I do not mean "accident" in the sense that the gun could be at fault; however, unwanted mishaps with guns DO occur as a result of carelessness. I wouldn't want somebody accidentally setting one off due to my own lapse in judgment, or do to someone else's foolishness. If I had it my way, gun ownership would be permissible but it would be much more heavily monitored and policed. | ||

If I had it my way, gun ownership would be permissible but it would be much more heavily monitored and policed. I grew up in a house with an absurd amount of guns in it - but they were all safely stored in a gunsafe, which I did not know the combination to til I was out of college. I know someone that stores his AR locked up, without the firing pin installed. If you're responsible about it, there's no reason not to keep them at home, where its more convenient to clean, maintain, and just keep track of everything. | ||
