I thought I'd see if any of you out there in Bengaldom were gun owners. I recently came into possession of a Mossberg 500 shotgun for home protection. Quite honestly, things have gotten bad enough in this place that I live in (for now, I am buying a house within the month) that I wanted something outside of my baseball bat for those "just in case" scenarios.

I thought about getting a handgun, but I have two small boys and a weapon of that small size is simply too dangerous unless it's locked away, which in turn defeats the purpose of having a weapon in the first place (in a rapid response situation).
the Mossberg is a 5 shot gun, pump action, 18.5 inch barrel. I have one box of basic birdshot 2 3/4" shells for it, although it can shoot the 3" shells too.
I am borrowing it from a friend until I move, and at that point I will probably buy a shotgun of my own.

Thoughts on guns? Comments? Own any guns you want to talk about?
Anything, anyone?
Bueller?

a shotgun is safer than a handgun?

Ummm, yeah. How easy do you think it would be for a 2 or 5 year old to work the pump action slide? Take off the safety? Not to mention that it's way too long for them to even hold it correctly.
I don't keep it loaded and the safety is on. It's also on the top shelf of a closet where I myself can barely reach it, but I can get it out and have it loaded and ready to fire in about 20 seconds.

Ha! I knew that title alone would get you to respond, adding some hotness to my thread to keep it up there!
I know you don't like guns Jamie, I respect that. I actually don't like them either, but some of the shit that's been going on around here lately and a lack of police involvement makes me quite leery, and if I ever need to defend myself or my family aaginst deadly force, now I can.

Not enough penis issues to own a gun...
























Since it's a security measure with potential immediate implications I do sympathise, however

Lately anymore since the owners of this park (who cared about whom they rented to and kept it up pretty well) sold it to some California-based company, it has steadily declined here.There's certainly a proliferation of shady people coming and going all hours of the night.So, I got the shottie just in case until I move out to Hidden Valley, likely early next month.

True. My main issue is that I can't decide whether or not to use the foreskin from my bris as a canopy for my son's 2nd birthday party next month.

...I posted these same thoughts a few weeks ago. Smart man. Never hear about kids shooting their friends with shotguns. Also can't put a shotgun in a bookbag without it being obvious.

Sadly, in today's era of guns in schools, this is also a benefit of the shotgun. I don't need a handgun to carry on my person, I want something in my home that can blow a grapefruit-sized hole in someone should that eventuality become necessary, which I hope it never does.
I wish we lived in a world without guns at all, but that just isn't the case. You have to meet deadly force with deadly force, or....you're dead.
