Owning any firearms is prohibited unless you use them for sports or hunting (both of which require training and licensing) and even then extremely strict regulations in regards to savekeeping and transportation apply. Owning automatic and semi-automatic guns however is next to impossible. | ||

But I would like to Not (just) because you can shoot with them (I don't think that I would do shooting for a sport or so), but because i find them quite "beautiful" as an object I like the look of an AK47 or an M4A1 very much, and yes, I wanna shoot with them if I would own one | ||

On a serious note, just had a fun 4th of july weekend shooting a glock at the range we have at our cabin. In addition, im not sure what model, but we also shot clays with a short barrel, folding stock, pump shotgun (not recomended for clays lol, ouch) If anyone in washington state is interested in surviving the zombie apocalypse im your guy. family owns their fair share of guns (~60ish) | ||

O.O It varies from state to state. for instance as of 8 days ago here in Wyoming anyone over the age of 21 can legally conceal carry, no permit required. Before that however all you had to do was have taken some sort of gun safety course and apply for it at a police department, and more or less anyone with no criminal record could get one. | ||

There has never been anything good coming out of them. And sersiously, the protection arguments are just stupid in my opinion. Less weapons -> less protection needed. just my 2 cents | ||

But I have never heard someone who shot a gun at a firing range or on a farm say that it wasn't awesomely fun. Guns are good fun, even if I would never own one. Maybe one day I'll get into target shooting. | ||

![[image loading]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v654/dogabutila/meh.jpg) IZHMASH Saiga converted by Arsenal Inc. SGL21 chambered in 7.62x39. Notably, IZ makes the Russian military weapons, so this is as close to real Russian mil-spec AK as a normal US civilian can get. My baby here is wearing a blackhark 3 point sling. Quick release, adjustment all that jazz. I keep thinking about dressing her up and making her tacticool but I think I might just keep this one as is and get a project one down the line. This baby don't need makeup. Btw, I got this one over the sgl 31 in 5.45x39 because that chambering is 1) more expensive in america. and 2) a shittier round in terms of terminal ballistics, sure it isn't as nice in terms of weight and trajectory but I can still hit steel plates out to 200 ezpz with the standard irons. The AR is actually a S&W M&P15-22. It's the .22lr chambering of the S&W M&P15 which is of course, the Smith and Wesson version of the AR15 / M4 / M16 family. It's only real use is that of a plinking gun, .22 is cheap. The cool thing and the reason I picked this .22 longarm is because it's a tack driver out to 100 yards (with the right /non cheap/ ammo i've gotten 5 shot submoa groups), as well as the same exact functional controls as real AR's. As of this writing, no other AR platform chambered in .22lr has functional controls that work exactly as a 'real' AR chambered in .223 / 5.56 Nato. It's a pretty cool training tool to teach newbies because there's very little recoil. It's more accurate then .22lr uppers for AR 15's too. The last is a 4th gen glock 17. Yes the 9mm chambering. Modern defense ammo make 9mm more effective then .45. Yes I just started the 9/.45 debate. xD. Trijicon night sights and a Glock light on it. I should have gotten the TLR-3 because they actually make non-custom holsters for that. But then again, it's not like I can carry in this state anyways. Who knows, by this time next year I might be able to. This is pretty much my go to gun for home defense because the AK is for fun (although I suppose it could be for srs business... but I'd prefer for that to not happen until I can get another one all tactical'ed out.). Not to mention it would shoot through way too much. No need to shoot the bad guy and the people next door.... .22lr can't be guaranteed to stop a person fast enough. Future guns planned: Mossburg 500 or 590. Probably put a light on it, and a side saddle on the left hand side. Then it would probably be kept in the closet in 'cruiser safe' (tube full chamber empty) with #4. Then this would be my go to HD gun. Remington 700. Just something about this.. It's kind of legendary in itself too. I'm nowhere near accurate enough right now and the rifle would outshoot me but it would be cool to have the tools (if not the skills...yet) to reach out and touch something. I'm not quite sure what chambering I want it in yet. Kind of thinking .308 but I might do 30-06 or perhaps something heavier then either of them. It would be such a sense of accomplishment for me to hit a plate at a 1000 yards. It might not be the best precision rifle out there, but it's good enough for tons of people and just the legendaryness of it makes me want one. Khar CM9. Once this makes it through the review board and is approved for sale in my state I might pick one up. Or maybe wait until a few of those court cases I have been watching go through. Either way, it's quite nearly the best last ditch holdout handgun there is right now. Everything smaller is chambered for crappy rounds, everything larger is probably too big to really be a holdout gun. I'm fairly certain that at some point I will get these 3. Others of note that I'm likely to get eventually... Some sort of 'real' AR. My friend has one chambered in 5.45. A few others have em in 5.56. Be cool to join the club and stuff so I'm looking at BCM AR's. Or maybe if the price comes down and all the issues get worked out an ACR. Or SCAR. I guess it'd be cool to have a 'good guy' rifle. I don't know. For some reason I just like the AK platform more. Kind of why I like the glock over the 1911 I guess. It's not as sexy looking, but it just pure simplicity and function. That's kind of sexy in itself. And then I can always be guaranteed that they go bang when the trigger gets pulled. I laugh the look on my friends faces sometimes when they have issues with their AR's and then tell them that i've had 2500+ rounds though my AK with no maintenance and no failures(I don't shoot corrosive, but the stuff I do shoot is pretty dirty anyways.) M14 or a mini14 or M1 garand. Just another family that's interesting. I'm leaning towards a mini14 at this very moment, but I keep waffling between which one I really want most. Maybe given enough time and money I'd get one of each. Beretta 92fs. Probably in black, although every now and then I'm tempted into the chrome ones. Yay john woo. Not a fan of loading the mags because for some reason I tend to rub up on the front lip which hurts a lot more then it does when I load the glock mags. But for some reason, even with the bigger grips (i've got small hands) I can shoot faster with it. Probably because it's heavier which absorbs more of the recoil. That and the DA/SA trigger is kind of cool. That and the 45 degree loading method which means you dont need to hit the slide release. For some reason that nerds me out. I'd love to say I would stop at a family of 10. But ....man collecting gets addicting. GOTTA CATCH EM ALL. | ||

Anyways, enough off-topic. But some of those guns here are designed to kill a lot of people very fast. So possessing those guns states "I can kill a lot of people very fast". What are the regulations in canada to get one of this automatic guns? Do you consider them safe (Safe as in "I'm a sane guy, knowing what I do, but this other kid?")? | ||
