Mass shooting in Las Vegas. 50+ dead

[Thumpalumpacus]

Thanks to those who answered my question ... Gave me a bit to chew on. I think my opinion on the matter is moving after this; prior to this I'd not liked the idea of banning another class of small arms, but then too I was unaware of bump-stocks, for instance. Anyway, thanks for the informed opinions.


Yeah, I was looking at a 1911-type .45 for home defense today. I don't much fear for intruders, but 911 has a thirty-minute response time out here in the sticks. I'd been looking at various short Remington 570s before, but I've got a small place and a handgun seems a better fit.

If you're going for a gun at home, consider getting the teflon-loaded rounds. They are basically capsules of liquid teflon with BBs suspended in them. They will stop a person but they won't go through two layers of dry-wall. You can shoot without worrying about who's in the next room. I used carry them as airplane loads when we were moving prisonsers.

Great tip, thanks.
