Grease guns and Thompsons, to 20mm flak guns. Pete Fleischmann, LSP_Matt, JeepsGunsTanks and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their M4A3 75w Sherman is an Iwo Vet, and I played a minor role in the restoration of the gun. I'd love to go to one of the events, machine guns are SO MUCH FUN! Gun people are also the nicest people you will ever meet, contrary to media portrayal.

Pete Fleischmann Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 We do a shootapaloosa every summer in Iowa at my buddies farm. Thousands of rounds down range. Good fun. Even the ladies shoot. Hands down, Gun people are the nicest, most generous, and genuine folks I hang out with- JeepsGunsTanks, firefly7, LSP_K2 and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a close friend who is a great guy and a Desert Storm vet, and funny enough a member here as well.

I had a good time and it got me comfortable with using it, and it seemed like most of the guys were decent guys. However, just my opinion but the culture here is way over the top as far as guns go. I really wish I didn't feel the need to have the Benelli with us, but unfortunately we've had some scary encounters in the wild. It honestly makes me want to live elsewhere sometimes.

Just sharing something I think is awesome. I grew up with guns. The greatest gun I ever shot regularly was the M61A1 Vulcan 20mm cannon..but of course it was installed in my F-16. I carry a handgun everywhere I am legally permitted. It’s simply part of my routine- car keys wallet cell phone gun There are weapons positioned everywhere in my house. I am never more than a fully extended arm from a firearm in my home. I train regularly. I am tested on a CQB course of fire every six months . I trained my boys..two of them eclipsed my abilities as infantry officers in the Army. The third is also extremely capable. My wife is also highly trained. It’s simply part of our mindset. In a world of sheep, wolves, and sheepdogs, we choose to be sheepdogs. not for everyone. ScottsGT, D Bellis, Martinnfb and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each to their own. Yeah, it sucks bad/shady people/criminals get guns. I don't consider them real gun people; real gun people obey the law, follow the rules, and most of the time, when they carry, you won't ever know it. Making sure people don't notice is part of most states' CCW laws, and CCW people are among the most law-abiding people in the country. Gun people hate criminals using guns as much or more than anyone. The problem is, the Bad/shady/criminal people, by default, do not follow the rules; passing laws to stop them only results in them going to jail after the fact, a good thing, of course. The more law-abiding people with guns, the safer things are; it's a statistical fact. Those bad dudes are always going to have guns, no matter what we do. Most are already prohibited, and ignore it, and get them illegally. And really, guns are a very minor American problem, blown way way out of proportion. If you are really worried about your safety, make sure you pay attention while you drive and make sure you have an excellent doctor because medical malpractice kills more than guns.
