August 14th. The anticipation is going to get me.When is it?
So he's looking at a 7.5inch spread in a 30 foot long hallway. I can pretty safely say most of us don't have hallways that long.
"I've got nothing against boat people. Most of my good friends have yachts."Please stop discriminating against me
I used to dual-wield that shit out of that gun back in the day.
you can get one of these and shoot across the yacht.Please stop discriminating against me
A pulse rifle like in Aliens would be useful.
Just don't fire it near a nuclear power station.
Use harsh language in that environment.
@Thefifthscallop - this is some bestest advice here. For a first firearm, it's all about natural point-of-aim.I would go to shops that let you try out firearms before you buy. Maybe you have a friend with a stock pile. Let's you find something you can get comfortable with instead of regretting the purchase later. Case in point I bought a M&P 40. Wanted a 40 cal and was told it was good. Once a had it really wasn't what I wanted. Got myself a USP 40 now and it's much better. Lower round capacity but the recoil and it being a hammer fire makes a big difference to myself. What one person is comfortable with another might not be. Most of my friends are into 7.62x39. AK's and SKS's. I'm into 556. I also like 38 special. Hopefully you find the right fit. Doing those training classes you're on the right track.
Bro... we need to hang out. I just read the first post and we're on similar pages. I have a Sig P2022, a Benelli nova pump and an AR and have some instruction in each. I'm happy to go shooting with you guys at a range or in the Tillamook wilderness to try them out if you like.For the past 6 years I’ve been telling my wife that I think we should take a class to learn gun safety, and purchase a few guns for home protection/hunting. I really started bringing this up a lot more since around May 2020 when shit really started getting crazy here in Portland. Now in July of 2021 after record numbers of shootings, stabbings, muggings, almost half of the police force going away, I finally have my wife on board.
We will be going to a class starting August 13th to start learning proper safety and technique. We don’t have a gun yet and we don’t need one for the class. But you can sure as shit know I’m going to be buying one after the first class. Where the hell do I start?
I have aspirations to learn how to hunt deer/elk in Oregon and Washington, and I was told a 30-06 rifle would be well suited for that, but I’m more interested in the home protection part first, since we still are living in Portland. A rifle would obviously be able to protect my family from an intruder, but seems a bit cumbersome as opposed to a hand gun. Maybe I’m wrong about that.
I know there’s a lot of you here that are very knowledgeable about firearms, so please, help me out. Point us in the right direction.
I’m totally interested in doing that. Let’s get after it soon.Bro... we need to hang out. I just read the first post and we're on similar pages.

I have a CZ P-06, which is a .40Did your wife have to get used to the recoil of the H&K .40 s&w?
I know some folks have trouble with the .40.

Respectively, that is absolutely wrong.Americans don't need guns. They pretend they do because they like shooting them, which is fine
I got one of theseThat's categorically false advice. At the distances you have inside a house the pellets barely have time to leave to cup and your pattern is going to be about the size of a fist.
Wow really? Because every time my brother brings up firing guns and their accuracy he always swears by that?
How long dat barrel be do?Home defense shotguns are going to be "Cylinder" bore. So he's looking at a 7.5inch spread in a 30 foot long hallway. I can pretty safely say most of us don't have hallways that long. If memory serves defense shooting typically occur at 7 yards of less, and at 7 yards that spread becomes 4.5 inches.
