So true Lionel.
Folks against gun ownership seem to think that owning a gun means you are compelled to use it. WRONG.

If someone points a gun at someone and says empty the till that is armed robbery even if no shots are fired.

Defensive gun use statistics don't count the incidents where people surrender without a shot being fired, a gun does not have to be fired for self defence if people surrender by pointing it at them.

Even the most hardened criminals surrender without a shot being fired when the police point a gun at them.

I have seen tresspassers surrender to an old lady with a .22lr without a shot being fired.

You assume that guns are the only weapons available to you, Lionel. Roll Eyes

That's right, Lionel. You have something far mightier: words.

I have an old, registered, Anschutz 222 model 1532, low miles, with a bent barrel (courtesy of a careless mover, back in the day). I can put a Schilling barrel on it for about $250 bucks but I haven't used it for some time. Keep it or lose it?

$250 is cheap for a new barrel, I guess it's next to worthless with a bent barrel.

If you don't use it perhaps selling it is a good idea,might get a bit more sticking a new barrel on it,I have a Anshutz 1416 no plans to sell that.

Question. What does low miles mean -- in the context of a rifle? Surely there's not an odometer on it?

It would be a low number of shots fired.

The barrel wears out through chemical and heat erosion in the throat, the fact that chamber pressures can be around 60,000 PSI means chamber prssures are greater than the youngs modulus of the metal in the barrel.

Some guns like the RUM 7mm are only good for around 500-800 rounds before barrel is stuffed.

This guy replaces his .308w after 1500 rounds.

Well I'd like to be an old lady that scares 'someone' off by pointing a gun at them. Remembering that one must always be prepared to follow thru if they don't run.

Seems that'll never be an option for me again tho. Sad

umm that would be you MDooley

thick as a brick.. are all Texans that dumb.?
Well, if you like the Bush dynasty, how could you argue.
As for Abortion..?? you seem to know all about it. but being a professed male, YOU CANNOT have a clue. You are entitled your opinion, however stewpid.
You just want to ride rough-shod over anyone who opposes your views.
I actually thought Texans were rugged individuals Grin

But you are just like everyone else. Self- interested and oblivious to anything outside your comfort zone.

You can't blame YOUR President for racism. That is absurd.
Remember Abraham Lincoln.?
Bet you have and/or are a KKK fan. YECH.!!!!!!!! Tongue

Abortion is a Constitutional Right in America. Did you know that, Mort? Or do you TexUn Christofascist only believe in the Constitution when it suits your crazy lust for guns?

Over sixty million Americans were never born for the convenience of the "sex in the city" crowd.
