Yep, some silly f***er might wind up putting a round in the washing machine or refrigrator!

I think you could legally purchase the bazooka...you just can own the rounds for it.

You can buy a grenade launcher addon for a black rifle at a gunshow....but you can only buy flares.

I was thinking of getting the XD-M in 9mm for the wife. 19+1 capacity should be enough bullet holes if the occasion for her to ever have to defend herself came around.

Personally, I have no firearms in the house. I just ask the intruders a lot of questions and they leave the house quickly, running and screaming. These threads are neat, however.

Perfect for Home protection and shouldn't be to hard to train the WU to use.

Yea 20 gauge will work not a lot of kick but with the right load it will do it's job ...

Did you try the uzi?

tooge · 10-28-2008, 12:58 PM

.357 revolver is a great starter. Get the 4inch barrel for home defense. It packs alot of stopping power, wont knock either of you over, and rounds are fairly cheap and everyone has em.

BigOlChiefsfan · 10-28-2008, 04:16 PM

Police trade-in pistols and revolvers are usually in good shape, and priced well. A used .38 or .357 revolver, or a .40S&W/9mm pistol can be had for less than $400 easily, and you'll have money for a shotgun, as discussed above. You can search here:

Gunbroker

I've done business with the fellow below, he carries Norinco pump shotguns, they're robust clones, cheap (but currently on backorder). I know guys who won't buy Norinco (ChiCom), but will buy Russian or Eastern Bloc surplus...well, he's also got Mosin m44's Yugo 24/47s and Enfield Mk4s, also cheap, and if you'd like a surplus battle rifle those are good buys. I own all 3, they're all fine old guns.

I've used Gunbroker.com before; I managed to get my Sig Pro for $320 in New Hampshire. No problems etc.
As others have mentioned, police trade ins are a good value.

My gun advice would be to get as many as you can if Obama wins the election.

BigOlChiefsfan · 10-28-2008, 09:49 PM

Here's a fellow over in Grain Valley who specializes in police trade in's. I'm pointing at a couple I'd buy:

Sig_P6

Beretta_Cougar

Glock 17

S&W 5903

Figure in an additional $50 for shipping/transfer fees to your local yokel FFL. If you're in Kansas, I'll recommend the Harrison Street Pawn shop, Harrison about 2 blocks N. of old 56 in Olathe (at the old Jet Plane park) for transfers. Nice folks, and the lowest transfer fee I've found in KC.

We went over to my wife's cousin's house today and shot guns all afternoon. About 10 of his various friends came by, all with different kinds of guns. One guy had just bought his senior citizen father a .410 revolver. With #6 shot, you weren't going to miss your target at 10 to 15 feet (nice spread). Same pistol can also shoot .45 longs. I've never owned a pistol, but after shooting twice in the last month at his house, I'm starting to get the bug.
