I love guns, okay?

[roxybisquaint]

Several weeks ago, the man wanted to try out some different guns, so he rented a few at the range. I tried them too and fell in love with the Sig Sauer P229 .40 caliber. And... now I own one.

My husband used to go trap shooting and he enjoyed it. I'd like to do some sort of out door range shooting sometime, but I don't know if trap really appeals to me.

Rox + Gun = Thug life

since it's really late I don't have a intellegent response to this post (like I've ever had one in the first place on your LJ)

But when I turned on to my friend page and I saw you holding a gun in a thug sort of way, my first thoughts were.

"I swear never to write another horrible joke on Rox's LJ again."

But now I get what this is.

Ps. I'm not lying you like you belong on a Rap album cover ...

that or a really twisted ladies Home Journal issue.

haha. ^ Yeah, that. If I was going for thug life, I'd have to pose with the Tec-9 :P

I'm so jealous. I dragged my husband off to the pistol range to check it out and he *so* didn't get it.

Guns are very, very restricted in Australia and very few people have any kind of hands on experience, although they are available for sport (you have to keep them in a safe and transport them dismantled though). It's very counter-cultural - less so in rural areas but we grew up in the city.

So he just...didn't get it. And I don't get enough time with my family, I'm not going to be away doing something like that if he isn't with me. So...it'll have to wait til semi-retirement. But then, I'll be like this grey-haired little Sarah Connor, just you watch!

I love your icon :)

How can someone go to a range and fire a gun and not like it? It's so fun! I'm glad my husband enjoys it too. We actually see a lot of couples at the range when we go (especially on Friday nights).

So...it'll have to wait til semi-retirement. But then, I'll be like this grey-haired little Sarah Connor, just you watch!

Hee. You can do it! I saw a white-haired couple at the range one day that looked to be in their 70s. I thought that was kind of awesome :)

Roxy, you've always been the most.... well armed.... of all the people I know on the internet.

LMAO. The fact that you could probably just fit her into your pocket is a bonus though ;-)

[roxybisquaint]

LOL. One of the employees at the range always teases me about firing guns that are bigger than I am.

[roxybisquaint]

I think I'm the most well-armed of anyone I know too. I never really intended to own a lot of guns, they've just accumulated since I never get rid of any :P

[valhallalilly]

Oooh that is one pretty gun! I can't say I know the name of it but it sure looks impressive.

It looks like it has a long draw?

[roxybisquaint]

You mean the barrel length (the end the bullet comes out of)? It's actually considered a "compact" size (3.9" barrel). As a comparison, the last gun I bought before this one has a 4.5" barrel, which looks ridiculously oversized in my hand.

[valhallalilly]

oh no like the trigger takes a lot to pull back? I don't remember how it's called now.
And hahah that other one is HUGE.

[roxybisquaint]

From that position, yes, it does take a lot of effort. But once you pull the slide back to load a bullet (or cock the hammer back) the trigger moves in closer and it's very easy to pull.
