What will you be doing Memorial Day weekend?

[evangelist6589]

My wife wants a shotgun for the house...And because she has never shot one, I'm thinking single shot breach loaded w 410 or 20 guage ...22 in barrel...only I can't find one....they want to sell you expensive trap guns or over and under guns, but that's not what I want. also going to buy this cool locking bookshelf with a false bottom and put it close to the front door. Simple right! So tomorrow....More shot gun shopping....at least I enjoy that!

Why a shotgun? Bears in your area?

He said for the house.

EWF: if I may, I'd recommend you check out the pawn stores. For the house, not so sure I'd recommend 22-inch barrel; the length causes the weapon to be harder to hold.

If within the budget, I'd tell you to look at a Taurus Judge. Uses .410 shells; since it's a revolver, just keep pulling the trigger.

I'd like that. But no handguns allowed in communist nj. Only criminals have that privelage.

Gun shopping…:thumbs:

Question. Do you have the ability to either borrow or rent a few shotguns and a place where your Wife can try them? When Mrs. Rolf wanted her first pistol, she was a bit nervous about recoil (she hated shooting every one of my 9mms), so we planned on a .380. Tried a number of them out, and once she was more accustomed to the kick, she decided on a compact 9mm. :laugh:

Side note: During our trip to the indoor range where we rented a few different pistols that Mrs. Rolf wanted to try out, there were two guys shooting in the lane next to us. One had a Judge (or Governor, I forget which), but his friend was shooting a .500 S&W. Everyone would stop shooting to watch this guy, while Wifey would just keep plinking away next to him with those little .380s completely oblivious to the .500 blast. I was so proud of her. :thumbs:

If the need arises I have two shotguns, a pistol and a doberman on standby. Oh, a wife on the couch that can give such a stink eye that it would make any intruder want to turn around and run the other way.

 

[Use of Time]

We went to the Outer Banks for the weekend to stay with my folks. A lot of poolside sitting and barbecuing. Visited Manteo Baptist Church on their 110th birthday which was kind of neat. Got back last night. Kind of just taking a lazy day today.

Have never heard of stink eye. English can be a complicated language. :laugh:

Yes but again you technically cannot have anything but a shotgun in the communist state of New Jersey so its a mute point. But if I pad the stock and make it abundently easy (single shot...breach loaded) I think that will work. Now if I was in a real constitution state, I think she would have a 32 for her purse.

You can get a Mossberg or a Stoeger for about $200-300. Hard to beat a shotgun for home defense…but I’d go 18”. Or saw that sucker off....but then again I suppose there's that pesty legal thing you speak of....:smilewinkgrin:

 

[Friend of God]

Had the extended family over today. We barbecued brats & burgers and spent time relaxing.

Tony: How'd "the question" go?
