The guns are good, the penis is evil. It shoots seeds to infect the world with a plague of men - Zardoz
I can't let myself have a gun, but I so want a Glock 21C or 37. Skeetshooting's fun. 12 ga. seems big for skeets, but I don't want a handgun under .45 so I can't talk.

guns aren't something to brag about....
thank god we have good gun laws in australia, hardly anyone has one and theres even less need for them here.

I think it all depends on the person and their personal opinions. That's like saying cars aren't somthing to brag about, or money isn't something to brag about, or my really hot nymphatic wife isn't something to brag about.
On one hand i feel people should be able to own guns, on the other hand i feel guns should be controlled like in other country's. I really don't like any ol trigger happy police officer with a 9mm who can shoot you if he wants and have a great chance of getting away with it. Watching real tv today some officer shot through the windshield of a fiero at some kid. The kid was stopped and the officer was off to the side of the car and the kid started edging forward and turning to get around the cop and he started shooting through the windshield. They even charged the kid with assault with the car, when he wasn't trying to run the officer over, just get around him.

If you are planning skeet, get yourself a decent choke (if it didn't come with one), a pigeon thrower (the hand held ones work really well despite their cheesiness appearance), and a box of target load or bird shot 2 3/4 and you'll be all set for an afternoon of fun.
The legality of guns...hmm...everybody has their own opinion to which they are certainly entitled. Personally, if my govt. wants to ban guns - they'll have to pry mine out my cold dead hands . As far as practicality, so much depends on regional location I think. I know a lot of people that depend on the meat they put up in the freezer during hunting season to provide food for the family through the winter. This isn't to say there shouldn't be regulations. An accurately placed .22 mag or even a .22 LR will drop anything but big game such as elk, moose, bear, etc. so I don't really see the need for assualt weapons other than law enforcement. However, I will admit that shooting my friend's AK47 (which is actually one of the most practical guns to get surprisingly) is a hell a lot of fun . To each his own I reckon.

YES! AKs are SO practical. well, they're not so much AK-47s anymore; the most common one I've seen is the SAR-1 version, which comes from China or Romania. Good guns.
I'm not highly technical, but those things fire not only well, but FAST, and they are NOT used to fire from the hip, and mow down innocent children, despite what the liberals want you to believe. They are NOT used to fire from the hip, and mow down innocent children.
See? My propaganda for the day.
No, but really, I've taken down, and put one back together, about as quick as Forrest Gump.. they're pretty cool. Totally useful, and where I live, they sell 'em with 40rd mags. (clips, to all you city-slicker g's)
They're used World-over for one reason, and one reason only: They're cheaply manufactured, and they fire under most any circumstances. (that was two, huh?)
Although they're not very accurate.. I don't think you'd ever see a sniper with one.

Now that the ban is over it's legal to sell those 40 round clips. If you were one of the people lucky enough to get a preban 47 you're in good shape. As far as accuracy goes, of the two different ones I've shot, both will do a 4 inch group at 110 yds pretty easy. And man alive are these guns durable, if it jambs, literally a butt smack on the ground usually fixes it, you could bury one in the dirt by itself and pull it out 20 yrs from now and still probably shoot it. If I were going to get a general duty rifle I'd seriously consider the AK. 91 - do you have a recoil buffer or a muzzle brake for yours? My friend has both and it kicks just slightly harder than a .22mag. It's sweet, you can keep those 40 rounds centered and pulled off quick. I was born and raised in the mountains so call me what you will but I love my guns . And as to avoid completely hijacking this post - by all means let us know how your new shotgun feels to you J-money. I think you'll find skeet is both challenging and very enjoyable. Shoot safe and keep the sights in the ten ring as they say...

Skid- Just a muzzle brake. It's a welded-on deal, on my SAR-1.
In fact, before the car broke, (tranny went) I was tryna design some kinda rack that would hold the thing securely, plus a mag or two to the bottom of my trunk lid, so I could have it in my trunk ..if necessary. (legal CYA, hehe )
So far, I've only modded the stock of it; it used to be this crappy-ass wood, but I've since replaced it with a snythetic deal, and misc bits of titanium, for durability. It's a wicked gun, and saved my ass a few times.

Oh don't start with that crap about M16's. The problem was with the ammo used at first. AK's will take more abuse and are a lot of fun to shoot (not as much fun as getting shot at with one ) SKS's are dirt cheap and almost as much fun but no 40rnd mags.
Cops will allways have guns and so will the bad guys, question is will you? Look what I got after the hi cap ban ended. http://betaco.com/page.asp?pg=technicalinfo
Cool shotgun J, we use Mossberg 500's with pistol grips for door breaching. I think old TV's are more fun to shoot than skeet but won't build up your aim as well. Have fun and be safe.

Aren't those a little heavy and awkward?
I guess you wouldn't want to get killed for lack of shooting back. I think that line was from Unforgiven.
