My view is that if guns were not so readily available (I’m aiming this at US) then gun crime would not be so high. I understand those who live in shadier neighbourhoods, but I do feel many are just middle aged man-boys living in perfectly safe areas using their “right” to carry arms as an excuse. Happiness is a warm gun?

yeah this is a topic best discussed elsewhere.. we were having some fun with knife and gun porn as being more manly than flashflight porn... and in fact I was heading that way with this topic in a more pertinent thread. I hope I didn't come across as an cynical a****le in my reply, oh I am one, but only an a****le to those that deserve it. LOL

The cynicism comes with ..as Dave well puts it.. one who has walked many a mile. In a perfect world sweetie.. but that is far from what we have.

Welcome to the forum btw.

^ It's a very fair point: so easy for someone living or working in a relatively safe area to say "don't use a knife or gun for defense", but there are those who truly may need some kind of protection other than their fists or the police, even if they'd rather not resort to it.

I tend to use harsh language now. ;-)

I use either lazer beams or energy blasts from my hands in self-defence.

Well, exactly. I was just into target shooting.

Anyway, the thread will probably go off in a different direction, but, nope, guns and knives, not for me any more.

Model 29 / 629's were OK but not for all day factory ammo use. When I was shooting - 20 years ago - I had a Ruger Redhawk, the five and a half barrel one (KRH-445) in stainless. Mind you, you tend to go bankrupt shooting factory ammo all day.

I once had a .44 explode next to me on the range. The shooter (inexperienced handloader) had just had the barrel cut back to just forwards of the ejector shroud. He'd had the butt strap altered to be more like a K frame. Gun came back from Birmingham proof house, he loaded up some 240 grain hollowpoints, but used Vihtavouri N340 instead of N110. 23 grains of it, compressed powder load. There was the sound of a wineglass shattering - the top three rounds in the cylinder detonated, the cylinder split in two, the top strap blew off and the barrel and frame were bent down to about 30 degrees out of true. We found the foresight fifteen yards away. He just got a small cut on his cheek from shrapnel.

I gave up shooting twenty plus years ago after the Dunblane shootings. Actually, I'm now a very big advocate against public ownership of firearms.

Fleshlights aren’t that expensive lol. It was present for him when I went on holiday without him hehe

I always misread the title as $629 fleshlight and it always makes me think of that when a girl buy a vibrator it's cool & sh*t meme.
