Your dad does sound irresponsible
mostly because he didn't teach you how to treat and handle guns properly.

Why do you need a magazine on the same shelf? Do you live in Beirut?

well if it's not quickly accessible it's not much use

my point exactly

First an AR 15 is down the list for home defense
kotacoug
10/23/14 7:34pm
You are right but I don't own a shotgun right now.
cre1ghton
10/23/14 7:35pm
That's actually not true at all. AR-15 is THE go to weapon for home defense
binghammer

Link wouldn't open for me, but who made that list and does skill level factor at

I don't care who you are, use what you are best with would be a good mantra

Very interesting.

A shotgun is a lot easier to aim at some ranges. It's effectiveness and stopping

Buckshot penetrates pretty deep and will go through drywall easier

I only glanced through but I didnt see it talk about shotguns at all and the
concolor couguar
10/23/14 7:47pm
Exactly, it didn't talk about shotguns because it was about the 5.56 round
binghammer

I'm not saying the Ar15 is bad and I don't think the world is flat

What about for home offense?

Good point, I guess I could keep a magazine in another easily accessible place.

What's so funny giggles? Not everyone is an expert in Guns like you.
Zach Morris
10/23/14 7:42pm
What's the point of risking it? Why not just lock it up?
mr_thekid
10/23/14 7:44pm
If you've ever loaded an Ar-15 you'd know a kid could not figure it out
Zach Morris
10/23/14 7:46pm
I have, but that's not the point. There are other risks to take into account.
mr_thekid
10/23/14 7:47pm
I am not worried about my man card. More about accessibility in the case of self
cre1ghton
10/23/14 7:52pm
I think that is fair. But a man should lock up his butcher knives,scissors
Zach Morris

10/23/14 9:31pm
Really?! Any 15-year old kid watching TV could figure out how to load...
CougaReb

If a "15 yr old kid" could figure that out with intent to do harm, you better
Zach Morris

As long as it's out of reach, I say you're fine...
Zach Morris

ok please never own a gun. thanks. signed, everyone else

Liberal mindset: We don't trust ourselves with guns, so we don't want anyone

Liberals I know own plenty of firearms, and use them for

You're welcome to your opinion but...

The mind set of "As long as it's out of reach, I say you're fine" is why
So it goes...

Get a gun cabinet or a gun safe. The lower end ones aren't that expensive.
Born2Fish

I know some of the board liberals will blow up over this but
binghammer

false
PickleButton
10/23/14 7:42pm
If someone breaks in? Most gun safe's are made out of sheet metal
binghammer
10/23/14 7:47pm
I own several hundred firearms and have used them
PickleButton
10/23/14 7:53pm
I haven't owned hundreds, and I am sure you are probably older than me
binghammer
10/23/14 8:01pm
as opposed to in battle to tickle people?
BlueFrog
10/23/14 8:04pm
You point out the main distinction that polarizes the gun debate
bluebloodedcoug
10/23/14 7:57pm
With attitudes like that, no wonder there are so many accidental shootings...
So it goes...
10/23/14 11:38pm
I have them all the time at my house
binghammer
10/24/14 10:05am
There is a difference between respect and a casual approach
SouthernCoug
10/24/14 3:44pm
lol, I've stated that I lock up my firearms
binghammer
10/24/14 4:00pm
dangerous yes, but few have such an extreme downside.
Finngirl
10/24/14 4:06pm
I disagree, dead is dead
binghammer
10/24/14 5:17pm
Not sure why you are laughing. I said I don't know where you are on this
SouthernCoug
10/24/14 10:20pm
Maybe because I stated it more than once in this thread and you were not even
binghammer
10/24/14 10:56pm

SouthernCoug

Relax.
binghammer
10/25/14 12:04am
Love the 1911...

10/24/14 5:44pm
Isn't keeping them locked up when not being used part of respecting them?
mr_thekid
10/23/14 7:49pm
At times perhaps
binghammer
10/23/14 8:02pm
You just broke the 1st
So it goes...
10/23/14 11:35pm
Get off your high horse, your house is littered with things far more dangerous
binghammer
10/24/14 10:08am
Are you inferring that his wife isn't old enough to look up how to load the gun?
Bruton Guster
10/24/14 2:35pm
pull the bolt and put it somewhere
tyroneweaver
10/23/14 7:33pm
That doesn't help me if I need to use it to protect my family though.
cre1ghton
10/23/14 7:34pm
I would start locking it up as soon as you bring the gun home
kccougar
10/23/14 7:35pm
You must be a crazy liberal
concolor couguar
10/23/14 7:37pm
No. Just don't see the justification for taking a dumb risk
kccougar
10/23/14 7:42pm
I lock all my guns. When I get the funds I will purchase a gun safe.

If it's hidden in his closet, out of reach, how is that a danger to his kids?
Zach Morris
10/23/14 7:45pm
When I was 4 yrs old I found where my father hid his guns.
So it goes...
10/23/14 11:51pm
Your dad does sound irresponsible
binghammer
10/24/14 10:10am
Bigger risk is someone breaking in while you are not home and stealing it.
silent_t
10/23/14 7:48pm
^^^ this is the most legit and realistic concern.
Zach Morris
10/23/14 7:58pm
As long as the gun owner is willing to take responsibility for the harm his gun
Finngirl

Lock it up. Its bad enough you have it in the home to begin with, but even the

Having a gun in a ready position possibly saved the lives of a Utah county
Zach Morris
10/23/14 8:09pm
That's why I suggest a 32-inch Z-core bat next to the bed.
IGlowInTheDark
10/23/14 8:43pm
This is actually a very reasonable idea.
Zach Morris
10/23/14 8:47pm
That guy didn't end up having a gun

Wow! Talk about risks... You're telling me you'd be gullible enough to trust

Bottom line is - don't love guns more than your children...

You shouldn't "afford" a firearm until you can pay for the lock/safe as well.
