Comments: Jack, I spent the first 15-20 years of our marriage trying to catch up to her bagged deer count. She has harvested about 30-40 white tails. We went dove hunting last week and she was dropping them as fast as I was. Then she wrapped the dove in bacon with a jalapeno in the middle, stuck a toothpick in it and cooked it on the grill. I ate about a dozen. She also shot a snake off of a tree limb in a tank from about 25-30 feet last trip out to the ranch. She used to go varmint hunting with us and I would hate to be a coyote or bobcat within range. Purty good shot.
Comments: The first gun I bought was a Savage Model B Fox, 12 Ga side by side. Did alot of bird hunting with it. Loved the way it handled and pointed. Came across a deal on a Chas. Daley over and under I couldn't pass up, so I bought it. Sold the model B to lessen the impact on the pocket book. I have looked high and low for another one for 30 years. I still miss that old cheap SWEET gun. Buddy, what ever the Professor says plus $50.00. SNL are you only a long gun gal or do you have hand gun experience? Professor, can Y hit anything with that peashooter??
Comments: I understand Dale - my 16 is from 1952 value about 100 bucks, from my Dad priceless. My first gun. Keep those weapons locked up from the drunks in Conroe. The old man in the video should be locked up giving that little girl a 50 cal. See u on the lake my friend. budman
Comments: Buddy, I have my dads ol Stevens side by side 16 gauge. It never was an expensive gun but is so sweet to handle and I don't remember him missing very many doves with it. I wouldn't take for it. I was just kidding about the $20. Make that $25.00
Comments: Professor- u bee on the lite side with that Jackson bill. better make it a few Franklin's. No wood tree monkey can out run it in these parts. pound per pound a muscle machine the 16. now i did get that video of ya'll tater-tots playin around down there in Conroe with that pop gun. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qRJzpQXb7c
Comments: Ada Ann - I look at Sophie's pic at least once a day (I love to look at all the Grandone pics) & yes, she does make me smile!!! She is so happy . . . you have to smile.  JD - TX has the same law. If you shoot 'em in your house... no problem, but don't let them stumble outside! I don't like to kill anything, bunny, deer, bird, fish, etc. I even catch the spiders & crickets in the house & release them outside. BUT, if I were there alone & heard someone breaking in my house . . . I'd cock the hammer, kneel down by the bed & aim straight at the door about chest high. I'd have no problem pulling the trigger. Why? Because someone was threatening my life & my home! Don took the bullets out of the gun the other day & moved them. He told me that since he lost his job he's concerned he's worth more dead than alive!
Comments: I suppose the civic lesson approach was a bit much.
Comments: SNL...I'm glad to see that you and Yuvonne as well as Mrs Lincoln shoot...so does my Kathy...she learned from her dad a 45 year policeman. Guns are our friends when we need them...and deadly to all intruders. I have told Kathy many times, if I'm out of town and someone breaks into the house...lay on the floor in our bedroom door...as they come walking up the steps to our 2nd floor level...shoot him in the chest...more than once...then call 911. Sorry RN...the rule in WI is that if you shoot them inside your house you're alright. If the intruder falls out the front door...drag them back inside...then call 911.
Comments: Thank you to those of you who praised my Sophie. She is the one who has helped me through this hellish ordeal. For those of you who haven't looked at her picture, please do....she will bring a smile to your face!
Comments: RN...My dear friend RN...please...I don't believe that there is a Civics lesson I need to have dictated to me. However, living next door to Chicago...it is incumbent on me to provide you with a lesson in Civics --- CHICAGO STYLE. Every bill that has been brought to the forefront this first year of the Obama administration...has been initiated by none other than twinkle toes Rahm Emanuel - WH Chief of Staff...and former congressman from Illinois. And if he is generating the direction, you can bet he is getting his direction from Mr. Obama himself. All of these programs from Health Care, Climate Change, the Financial Bailouts (under Obama), Gun Control, have come from the campaign. It is the way things are done in Chicago...force fed from the Mayor himself to the city council and state legislature with all kinds of promises to those who go along and threats to those who don't. Please, look at Reid and Pelosi...do you really think these two have the intellectual capacity to develop these ideas from their own feeble brains? Not on your life! Just as every President before him, some more than others, many bills are started and directed from the WH...and the only real separation of powers is when the three parts of government are not controlled by the same party...plus the fact that they sit in different buildings. And please, it is becoming extremely clear that you are either extremely naive and or not politically savvy or connected as some of us are. I personally sit on a district congressional committee for my congressman and have held the seat for 20 years...through both Democrat and Republican congressmen. They all will tell you the same thing. In many, not all, but many cases everything is generated from the WH...and especially in this case due to his campaign itinerary and promises. Open your eyes Richard...I know you can see...you have a wonderful and might I say a beautiful wife and you are one of the most impressive dressers in our class...next to Botox Browning of course....but it is extremely obvious that you have great eyesight!
Comments: Buddy, "Chink-Chink" will bring fear to a possible intruder. Give ya $20.00 for that sweet 16.
Comments: Don L-I started my love affair with Shotguns in the back woods of Louisiana hunting deer, slug followed by buck-shoot, very deadly. Now that AA12 looks like a doe day dream. Knock down a hole herd of Bambies and all the trees behind them !!! bad to the bone A true story- May have been a potential break in I don't really know. Late one evening I heard some noise in the front, Geo loudly said "get ur gun Buddy." As I arrived at the front cocking the pump on the 12 (the sound is assum), I saw no faces just elbows and ...holes at high speed. Now everyone knows Cold Cash Dagley is talented. But being a man of men he hunts deer with a rope. Yes Sir with a rope!
Comments: Man, I could destroy a case or two of beer cans in no time!!! Talkin' 'bout firepower! Sorry Buddy, I'm now leanin' toward the AA-12 shotgun suggested by DL.
Comments: SNL - No need to mess around with a 'sweet 16' when you can cut to the chase with an Auto-Assault 12-ga. (AA-12) - versatility & rapid firepower: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4ebtj1jR7c
Comments: Linda - If you have an old western 'gun slinger' Colt, I'll gladly trade you a Model 1911 Colt 45 semi-automatic pistol, similar to this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1911_pistol I got this one several yrs ago in an estate sale from one of Kathy's deceased uncles, plus a Smith & Wesson 357 Magnum revolver. I bought Kathy a 'Lady Smith' (also S&W) last Xmas - shoots 38 special or 357 magnum. RN/JS - Doing our part to help out the S&W market. |
