    I'm trained to handle one of these:

    Would be stretching it if I claimed they were useful. Sweden has, last time I heard, more guns per capita than any other country (legal in any case). The overwhelming majority being hunting rifles limited to at most two cartridges at a time and even semi automatic being illegal.

    If you need a semi or full auto that holds more than two shots at a time, you probably don't have walking distance to Starbucks. The opposite holds too of course.

    Nope. Only one Glock in this case this evening.

    But really, I'm done with Glock. For carry, I prefer my Kahr PM9 to my Glock 26 and I'm about to order some Kahr PM40's.

    For serious offensive use, I prefer the HK USP's to the Glocks. I'm going to pick up another HP USP Tactical .45 this week.

    Yes, and the reviews from people I have spoken with have been uniformly good.

    Good... I've been leaning towards selling the glock for the smaller 3" XD.. it has more safety features and fires more comfortably. Plus it is easier to conceal.

    Try the Kahr. No safeties, but it's a lot of firepower in a nice little package.

    And hey, you can tell everyone that you carry a firearm manufactured by the Moonies.

    That cat needs some instructions about posture. Standing like that he'd be lucky to hit the dog from a few meters :cool:

    So many? 3 firearms is a lot? I grew up in North Carolina, everyone owns guns there. I think people that have always lived in a city have a very different view of firearms. If you live in a rural place in America, the majority of people own guns. It's "normal" to own them in most places (in the U.S. anyways).

    They are actually not that bad also the bullet is darn big - 17mm :) I shoot with mine resting on a support, it is larger than the one on the picture and I'll estimate about 20 pounds, inherited it after my great grandfather.

    I use it a few times every summer to shoot fake birds in a competition.

    Really? You mean the Criminals don't have guns? and your wife can defend herself against a gang rape with her whistle? Or is it that there is no crime? And criminals have the whistles?

    I can afford one, I just haven't got around to getting it. I want a rifle with a scope on it at home and a small handgun to keep on my me.
