Also say why you gave your answer. I would NEVER EVER purchase a firearm... If I was to have the need for weaponry I would use something a little more traditional. _________________ http://kittish.net http://forum.kittish.net/

Nope. Except in the case of a zombie invasion. And having a firearm for in-house defense is not illegal, but certain weapons are prohibited, as you could guess. Sawn off shot guns are only illegal because of how easily you can conceal them, and sawing off the barrel of a shot gun isn't fail-proof or anything, haha.

Yes. I would. If anyone ever came to my property and wouldn't leave I'd shoot 'em. Otherwise I wouldn't have much use for one though.

Right to bear arms is, I think, one of the most important amendments\rights.

That reminds me of a family guy bit - where the founding fathers had actual bear's arms on a plague. It depends... if I knew there were no consequences, if it was free and if I knew a zombie invasion was happening soon then yes.

Holy Shit, that is small... I would definitely get one, I want a russian mouser, those things are badass, I would use it for target practice, and hunting too, I want to blow a deer's head clean off... Yeah. I would then eat and/or use everything it has, as not to waste it. _________________ [quote="Krispy_chicken"]You only wish you could screw Waffles! [/quote] "Don't Mess with the Chicken..." 10,068#

You could hide that pretty easily... Who needs guns? Just put a bullet in your mouth and sneeze. The speed of a sneeze is 100 miles per hour. _________________ 00- Head Moderator 56303# - First Member to get 20,000#.

Wow that's... no. You could swallow the bullet if you trip, and the bullet from a gun is faster than 100 miles per hour, and what if the bullet isn't aligned straight when you sneeze? There's a whole bunch of things that could go wrong.

It's not just the force... There is the barrel, where it spins the bullet, giving it momentum... it also keeps in aligned. _________________ [quote="Krispy_chicken"]You only wish you could screw Waffles! [/quote] "Don't Mess with the Chicken..." 10,068#

Also it might have the speed but it doesn't have to force to get it to propell the bullet, if you put your hand up against your nose it is not going to be destroyed when you sneeze, also according to google it could only make the bullet travel about 2 - 3 metres... MYTH BUSTED!

what do you mean, that small a bullet could go through skin, but it wouldn't go far enough or do enough damage to kill you _________________ [quote="Krispy_chicken"]That's called a one night stand.[/quote]

It was just a theory, althrough obviously not correct. The actual speed of a bullet from a barrel of a gun is about 700mph. The bullet will start it's downward descent before 9 seconds are up due to gravity. So the average bullet would be able to travel 1.75 miles at 700mph assuming that there is no friction. _________________ 00- Head Moderator 56303# - First Member to get 20,000#.

Yeah, after a while, if you are far enough away, a small caliber weapon will at most pierce the skin, if that is, they can hit you from that far away... _________________ [quote="Krispy_chicken"]You only wish you could screw Waffles! [/quote] "Don't Mess with the Chicken..." 10,068#
