It's common for Americans, especially from the south or bordering regions to have weapons and have gatherings for marksmanship. At some of gatheringsyou can shoot for prizes like a t.v. or turkey. (Hence the term turkey shoot!) Oh BTW, most Caucasian Southerners are near expert shots! But really none of these EVER turns violent!!!! We have such a developed gun culture that compare to the numbers of weapons we have few ever get used in a violent manner! Yes, we do have crime and shooting rampages, but it would be impossible to gather all the weapons and stop people from commiting crime, thats a price for our freedom! And YES its protected by the constitution!!!!!!

Yeah... :roll:

...until some dude with a name like Hitler, Stalin, Mao, or Saddam comes along and decides he doesn't want you to have it anymore. History is full of examples like this.

...and since you are completely unarmed along with everyone else, you have to go along.

What some of you have to remember is that most Americans have grown up 'around' firearms. It's in a simply put way, part of American culture, and a tradition so to speak. You bitch about Americans and their love of the gun, but I don't see you bringing up issues about us Brits hunting, or the Spanish bullfighting, et cetera, which are just as dangerous and 'nasty' as an American letting some rounds off down a range. Also it seems many of you haven't been affected by an American with a rifle, so why do you persist in 'fighting' it all?

As for the photos, very nice. Hopefully one day I'll hop over the pond and have a go with some similar stuff.

You are welcome anytime here in the Republic of Texas too!

What I like about shooting here in the US- the firearms community is very inclusive, polite, and considerate. Firearms are a big equalizer. In our group of regular attendees at our shoots we have people from all walks of life who otherwise would never have come together. We have multiple races, religions and beliefs represented, Poles, Russians, Palestinians, Israelis, and Indian, Vietnamese, and local city folks and country folks. We have Catholics, Protestants, Muslims, Atheists, and more. We have men, women, children, fathers, sons, families. All coming together to spend a day or two enjoying one another and our common appreciation of firearms, marksmanship, history, skill, and yes, shooting holes in mud ;) . There is very little downside to what many have tagged as the "gun culture" in the US, though it isn't so much a culture as it is a simple shared interest.

The arguments and objections from others outside our nation are fruitless because many who have never participated in such comraderie just don't understand. It inevitably contributes to the impression that Americans don't care about anyone but themselves when we say we just don't value opinions that attack our firearms. So be it. That is one of the things we love dearly about our nation and one of those things that sets us apart from so many others. If you don't agree, that's fine, there is no need to attack and belittle those who differ in opinion. Come shooting with us some time and perhaps you will find something you like. Almost anywhere in the US you go, fellow firearms enthusiasts will likely all put forth the same invitation to join them.

I live in the Houston area, between Houston and Galveston, right around NASA if you need a landmark.

[Ezra Coli]

I thought congress voted to exend the ban?

No, that would be political suicide. It may pass the Senate but not the House. They recently approved it as an add on to the firearms manufacturers protection bill, but because the dems added it the sponsor of the original bill killed it.

What Feinstein and Schumer don't seem to understand is that of all gun crimes in the US, less than 1 percent are committed with rifles. Far fewer with military style rifles. Criminals prefer weapons they can hide, obtain cheaply, and get rid of with little fuss. Not AKs and M-16s.

What I love is the 94 AW ban INCREASED imports and sales of so-called "assault weapons" to record numbers as Americans basically told the government they didn't like this silly notion of banning. Al Gore admitted that it was the gun owner vote that cost him the election...

So, no, the ban looks like it will sunset as it must by law, and until another replacement or extension is enacted we are relieved from some of the silly cosmetic no-nos. How long until another more sweeping ban happens? Well if the liberals or socialists get in, we may as well start digging holes and hiding the stuff like the Aussies taught us.


Geezah,
Yes, its good to be here. I've lurked for a while but never did much posting. I didn't realize how many people here I know! :lol:

[Undo]

Ouch. Humid. I don't like sweating in the shower. How are the beaches these days? It has been a while since I made it to the South coast. Growing up the beaches were always covered in tar from the rigs in the gulf. Especially around Port A.

Anyway, nice to meet you and again, I agree about the "gun culture". Those who condemn do so out of complete ignorance, blah blah blah.

I don;t know if those guys are over here yet but the shoot was hosted by Leadhead and in attendence were myself Custer, Sangrun Hunter(Twisted Cross), Swingset, Greg L and Craig but I can't remember his sign on.
The other peeps were people that tagged along for the a fun day out :D

[Truthsayer]

"What is the difference with a bunch of airsofters taking pics and and these guys firing away from the hip and stacking guns?"

"The airsofters use safetygoggles, the gun-owners use earpluggs."


Just looking at the pictures fast, seing the piles of guns...I acctually thought I was in the wrong froum-section. :)

[Stavka]

Post all you like on americans and their strange fetish for guns, add to that a little dash of evilevilevilkillingourchildren and whatnot, but i knda envy them.

Id like a few extra guns in my locker. Damn naziswedishgunlaws...

Anyway, go easy on michael moore though, he is kinda entertaining.

[Truthsayer]

If I lived in the US I would own several handguns, rifles and most likely would pimp for someone owning a LEV III-license to go with them every weekend, since it _is_ fun to shot up an range.

But I would never want my neighbours to have the same access to handguns. I'm caught in the middle of 'me' and 'them'. :]

[SangRun Hunter]

I was one of the guys at the shoot Sunday. It's a fun time and we shoot the bull about politics, wives, girlfriends, and other stuff too.

We trade weapons around to try out on the range discuss their merits. Very civilized and gentleman like. None of us are American Cowboys or thugs as I guess some in other countries might think.

We have families and good jobs.

One of us is an executive at a company. I'm an IT guy for a large global corporation. We have sales reps, technicians, and other white collar types along with blue collar types.

What bridges the gap between all our classes and ages is the hobby.

I have no idea how it really is in Europe since I've never been, but things aren't as you might think they are here. Our crime is probably not much different from Europe. Drugs, uneducated types, and people with mental dis-orders. Maybe if our government wasn't so concerned with drugs crime would be less, but who knows.

Nice to see the opinions of so many here.

Sang, good to see you over here, we all had a great time Sunday.
Hopefully it won't be too long before the next meet?

[SangRun Hunter]

Geezah,

I probably won't make it out until July again. Got the new little one due on May 21st or there about. I figure I have to give my wife a couple of months before I take a day off.

Got a lot of stuff to do before the new one comes and Sunday was my big day out.

Unlike Lynch I can take a day off in the middle of my house remodel ;)

Correct. Don't come in the summer, however. I have watched too many of my pale European friends burst into flames or melt onto the sidewalk. Winter is the time to come. Very similar to your summer.

[Hydro]

Man, that stuff looks cool. I've got to scrape the cash together to come over to the States one day, maybe do a little shooting myself. (Maybe? Who am I kidding? :))

[army cadet_ngcsu]

Its not just the south but all over the US that people love guns. I from Pittsburgh, PA and in many of the white middle class suburbs people own guns and shoot for fun. This is true in New Hampshire, New York, and all over the Northeast US. But the South is more specifically your gun totin' America. I have lived in South Carolina and Georgia and it seems that nearly everyone has a gun and unlike the north where most people go to shooting ranges and gun clubs, southerners always just go in their backyard or a friend's house.

Guns are also not typically exclusive to middle class white people and farm boys....it seems as though many poorer African Americans always have some sort of 9 mm pistol or a tek 9 or AK. Mexicans as well are big gun collectors and are fond of shooting, not so much as for the gangster aspect.

Basically, in one way or another, well over a majority of American households owns a weapon and quite frankly I like it that way. An armed society is a safe society

[Ezra Coli]

Yes, my brother in law is of Mexican blood, and he is having me help him build his AMD-65. He enjoys shooting too, and has a Mosin Nagant and a pistol. He's bee to our local shoots as well.

Shooting sports = Good times for all :)

[SangRun Hunter]

I live in a state that is considered a northern one and my Dad had always had guns around for shooting. When he was a kid his neighbor got him interested in sports car and shooting. My Dad being a baby boomer with all the WWII vets around and movies about the war he was alway interested as were many of his peers.

My Dad then went into the Army and even belonged to a competition club and built custom rifles as a machinist for a while.

It's very deeply ingrained into the American culture and the do it yourself attitude. Many of us in the Northern states do not brag about it so much as the attitude is a little different than where Ezra lives. I worked in Houston Texas for a while and the attitude about firearms is completely different down south.

In any rural area you have hunters in every state no matter how liberal. Where my Dad lives now the kids get off school during part of the deer season. Many places close up during the first few day of deer season or run light shifts, so people can go deer hunting. In the area where my Dad lives people rely on those deer to get through the year.

For those animal lovers: In the Eastern US deer are extremely over populated and hunters never take what the state considers enough. More deer get killed by car every year in places like Pennsylvania than hunters take.

[Ezra Coli]

SangRun,

We also have deer overpopulation problems, believe it or not. Not so much in East Texas where they are heavily hunted and managed well (meaning they get very large) but in central Texas where deer are more the size of dogs. Saleen (you know him from other boards) takes large mule deer with his SVD each year, but says the whitetail around the border areas are also rather scrawny.

I don't hunt (used to hunt ducks), but maybe I should do my share for mammal conservation too.

[Sierra]

Great PicS!

[SangRun Hunter]

Ezra,

The deer here in Ohio are monsters and I do believe the world record bucks for Whitetails have been taken here. Personally where I grew up in a rural area west of my city I saw the biggest damn buck I've ever seen in my life coming down our long gravel drive around 2 in the morning. I ended up following him on back the dirve to our neighbors and then drove off road into a field just to look at him. He was as big as a horse! We had a lot of horses around where I grew up and I was just mesmerized by the size of this giant deer. He had to have been 400 lbs or better and a rack about 5 feet across. Just a plain monster!

I've hit a doe that was about 125 lbs with a sports car. Not a fun way to end an evening out at all. My Dad has probably hit 7 deer now where he lives? 3 the first month he moved to the mountains. The last one actually hit him. He saw it coming and stopped hard, the damn thing lowered it's head and rammed his car in the rear door and bounced off stunned. They are not the brightest creatures and my Dad call them ratts on stilts.

[TALOS]

Well, I am quite a bit more north, and if you get with the right crowd you will have the same gun comradery. I have a pistol(tt-58 tokarev) a lee enfield jungle carbine a .22 cooey and I used to have an FN-FAL.
None of my friends were gangster types and almost all were professionals, police officers, health care, security, lawyers. All this crazed gunowners crap just really bugs me. Nice to see such positive comments here.

Thirty round SLR mags are quite huge but well worth it. Unfortunately there is only one way that I will get my hands on an SLR with 30 rd mag...and it's a tad more painful than getting a gun liscence, involving a lot more hills! ;)

Well I have to say, I was born in Ohio and Ohio gun laws really suck. I live in Florida now and it's much better here.. but still pretty difficult to use a gun to protect yourself. Basically, the moon has to be in the proper phase, the police have to have an ample doughnut supply, the perp. has to beg to be killed at least 10 times in both Spanish and English, and you have limit yourself to two rounds on Nerf safety Ammo.

In Ohio, you can't even carry.. you gotta love Vermont!

Not any more.

Our CCW law goes into effect Thursday.

It still sucks living here though. :(

Damn, I missed this post...

I love these moments. When those of us that enjoy it grin and know EXACTLY how every one in the photos are feeling at the moment...

...and the utter mystery for those that simply do NOT get it.

I'll post my Memorial Day shoot next week....

Oh boy, look out.

I wish I could build one of those sheds at my range (I have a huge supply of brand new metal roofing and siding left over from our last stable we built). Unfortunately, I cannot since there is an enviromental easement...which protects the land from development or eminent domain, but prevents you from building any static structure or cutting of trees...

So...its 20'x20' camo netting...does nothing for rain but acts as a great sun screen...

Great Pics Geezah.

Gotta find out what weapons there are at the firing range over here! woot

LoL I BET U they'll hav AK's in this firing range... :lol: :lol:

PS. I live in the middle-east. so that probably explains why they would have AK's in the firing range...

P.P.S Are Ak's allowed in US firing ranges?

[Mark Sman]

AKs, simple answer is yes.

Now, if you start chewing up target frames, or can't handle your weapon, you will be asked to case up and leave.

This is different at each range. Just follow the range rules.

[American Patriot]

Here at Ben Avery (the most kick-ass range in the country) they will let you rapid fire, use human silhouttes, etc. while other ranges will think your semi-auto AK is somehow illegal and threaten to call the cops. It all depends where you live. ;)

[Saranof]

You can have freedom without guns.

Yeah... :roll:

...until some dude with a name like Hitler, Stalin, Mao, or Saddam comes along and decides he doesn't want you to have it anymore. History is full of examples like this.

...and since you are completely unarmed along with everyone else, you have to go along.

I can't be buggered to go with a discussion, but do you really think some people with guns would have a chance against a real army if there would be a situation? ;)
Nice guns btw :)

I can't be buggered to go with a discussion...

But you'll make a half-assed comment anyways...

Edit: It is not about fighting the military. Firearms ownership is, in many ways, the FOURTH check and balance...or allows our people the power (regardless if they have the will or not, which is another topic). So, you have the executive, legislative, and judicial branches which have all worked well to date providing that balance. The people are, ultiamtely the ones that responsible for making sure these three branches do not overstep their power.

A PERFECT example of local use of this is the Battle of Athens, TN in 1946 where a group of ex-army and citizens takes power away from a corrupt seat of government (after exhasuting other alternatives).

I posted the actually details of the fight in the history section...

The best thing about people that don't believe in guns, is that there are people that do. Just becuase you don't believe in cancer, it doesn't mean it isn't out there. Guns are a fact of life in the US. I never owned a gun back home, my grandfather had his service .303 from New Guinea and my father had a SKS and shotgun that he used to dispatch king browns on the farm. But when I moved over here, my step father had multiply guns (he was Swiss) and most of the neighbours had guns. We lived on a ranch in the malibu hills. I didn't grow up in a gun culture either. But if you have the right to defend yourself from all types of threats (snakes/cayotes/thugs), you might as well take it. Since the purchase of my first firearm, I have taken multiply courses from hunter safety to self defence classes on pistols and shotguns, I've becomes friends with the local gunsmith, whose wife got me into 3-gun competative shooting. Most people I know that are serious about their hobby/pasttime take it seriuosly, be it scuba diving, atv's or shooting. They don't tolerate fools and idiots. I don't know why people see honest citizens exercising their rights as a threat to their life-style. I don't think every-one should have a gun, actually I think that there are people that shouldn't even come close to guns and I've even stopped people I know from buying guns as in my mind they were not getting the gun for the right reason or didn't have the right attitude or enough responsibility. And on a final note if we should ban any guns it should be toy ones as they serve no purpose other than to de-sensatise children to the seriousness and responsibility of gun ownership.
LONG LIVE THE SECOND AMENDMENT

[illuminus33]

Though it's been said before .. It's our right as an American to bare arms. It's the right to defend ourselves against a goverment that might be unjust. (i'm in no way saying my government is unjust) Yes against the military we civvies may not stand a chance however I'd rather die shooting then have my rights infringed.

As someone else stated... Those that have never gone range shooting just wouldn't understand. I currently own a M1a springfield loaded and am looking into getting a scout for my next gun. IT'S JUST A M14/M1a thing. those that have shot one know what i mean.

I should have answered your first question, this was my 2nd shoot in Maysville Kentucky with guys from AK.47.Net.

[Durandal]

What the hell is the point of owning a gun like an Ak-74/ 47? Just trying to look bad ass?

Because there are some weapons that YOU only shoot and then their are weapons you let your friends shoot. The AK is one that you let your friends shoot.


Mine was 380.00 (Pre-ban), cheap for an semi-auto sporter...

You can put it away wet and not clean it for months, pull it out, swab the barrel and go out to the range.

Ammo is SUPER cheap. I just picked up a case (1000 rounds) of the new WOLF composite 7.62x39 hollow points for 69.00.

Its fun to shoot.

[Durandal]

Maybe we need to get a Military Forums Shoot going for all those in the Midwest...

I am in Covington, KY and my range is about five minutes from Lawrenceberg, IN, in Ohio (outside of Cincinnati).

That is a great CETME. I am buying my friend a scope rail for his.

[Durandal]

Where do all these CETME's come from?

All metal parts looks brand new, but the gun gotta be man ages old.

Cases of 'em were unloaded in US markets about two years ago. My friend bought TWO of them for 300.00. When the first came out instores, you could get them for 300.00 to 380.00 depending on where you bought them. Now they are puching mid-400.00s. You can still find some good deals on them, but they agoing quickly.

It happens from time to time. Usually with Russian style firearms (AKs and SKS) and Mausers (usually Argentinian and Yugoslavian). Someone has been holding onto THOUSANDS of them and simply relaeses them to into the market. This is what happened with the CETMEs. They are all refurbished with new barrels. The stocks and foregrips are stripped and sanded and sometimes refinished...

A great gun...especially for the price. The poor man's H&K '91. :)

[hmanphotos]

Shew, you guys respond quick. I worked last night (and tonight) so I squeeze in replies where I can. Its hard to keep up with all the boards I'm on when working my 2 2 3 2 2 3 schedule.

Anyway, I'm in Tell City, IN. Pull it up in mapquest to see where thats at because I doubt many of you know.

I'm planning soon to purchase a Mosin-Nagant with a scope. That way I can have two guns using the same ammo.

I often go borrow various guns from my father as well. I'd be interested in meeting up with some of you guys sometime.

If I missed any questions that were directed at me then try again. I'm a bit sleepy. I always check messages from 3:00 to 3:30 on my "in-between" days.

Later all, I'm off to bed.

BTW, I used to ride to Dayton all the time. Have friends that live there.

We have a conscript army here, hence reservists aren't in the military... (Well technically, yes of course they are, but...) ;)

I'm a reservist, and I'm planning to buy an AK next summer. And I assure you, it's not for making me look like a badass...

And (sadly) we do have our fair share of those "cowboys and indians" in the reservist force also :D

Ignore him man. He is simply being a bitch. He can't argue the reason why I have an AK. I laid it out in very easy to understand terms that he cannot argue. I love the 1911 and it is certainly among my top picks, but I'll be damned if I ever foulmouthed someone over their gun preferences.

You like to collect, own, and shoot. Cool by me. Regardless if it s blackpowder, a Ruger 10/22, an AR, a Berreta 9mm, and H&K USC, or a M1 Garand...any gun is just fine.

Just just ignore him...

I was thinking, in addition to getting together to shoot sometime. Would you be interested in rolling down to the Knobcreek Machinegun Shoot in October? We go twice a year and usually start planning about three months before it happens.
