Andy9o8 2 #9 November 10, 2008 QuoteDo I have to own a gun? Depends on state law. In California, no. In Texas, yes; owning a gun is mandatory. Don't even get me started on the penalty for violation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skybill 22 #11 November 11, 2008 Hi sherm, After seeing where you live and having lived within a stones throw of your current residence I would have to say NO. That is you don't "Have" to own a gun but if I were you a "Sherman Tank!!!" or the like would be my lightest option!! Definitely some good reliable side arms and long guns too!! Ruger has a really nice piece called a "Mini 14" I think in several different cal's. They are also running an "election special" from election day till inaugration day for the 20 round "Full cap" magazine for $29.95 or there abouts some 10 bucks off list price!! if bought through the company store!! Gettem' while they last!! Since "Acorn Head" made it to the top slot, Gun sales are thru the roof.!! Should have bought stock in S&W, Ruger, Remington, Springfield Armory, Mossberg, New England Arms, MADE IN THE USA by American Craftsman!! BTW is the "Stocade" still in business in GG (or is it HB?), how about "Cliffs' Guns in SNA??SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

downwardspiral 0 #17 November 11, 2008 Well I'll tell you what. In light of the current economic situation and the likelyhood I may be unemployed for an undetermined amount of time, I have dialed back my spending until which time I feel more confident with the nation's economy as well as my own employment status. Once that happens you may not be able to get rid of me. www.FourWheelerHB.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
