But the Taurus comes in ti for teh litewaitz!

I need to just go in the damn gun store and look around. Theres one across the street from my apartment.

Oh, and Hank, change your damn avatar to one where D-Fense is holding the bag of guns, not the briefcase with the apple and sandwich.

Falling Down FTMFW!!! I used to live right up the street from the park he dumped the briefcase at. Wild shit goes down there all the time. Bodies being pulled from the water daily.

"assault rifle" is a made up term.  The definition of an Assault Rifle varies so much, not to mention it basically implies that its a military weapon, which are illegal if they are full auto (for 70 odd years).. unless of course you have the right FFL.

i'm pretty sure an assault rifle is a selectable fire rifle(semi-auto, full auto) that fires an intermediate round.(5.56x45, 7.62x39)

Yes but most politicians twist it to cover more than it really is.

Recommended caliber...?

I'm not a big guy, but I want something somewhat powerful that is still fun to shoot and manageable. I highly doubt I will use it alllll the time but I do want to be comfortable with it and have it be almost second nature to load it, and use it as necessary if the time comes. It will be more of a hobby type deal rather than hunting all the time. So if it feels like I'm slamming my hand in a door every time I shoot it it isnt a huge deal. As of right now I'm looking at the Taurus Tracker .44 Mag and a Glock 26 (9mm)as a backup. I also dont want rounds that arte tooo expensive if there is something cheaper and more fun to shoot. So basically something for home defense that is reliable (Glock) and/or something that is just a mean looking fun gun to shoot every now and again (Taurus). Would these calibers be ideal? should I go smaller/bigger...? I won't be shooting buffalo but I also dont want to have buyers remorse and wish I got something larger.

the tracker .44 mag is a blast to shoot.

Yeah, one can get the rest of the story from the wikipedia article you just paraphrased. :p

Obviously some others here could use the read.

The United States Constitution is the most respected and sought after written document concerning rights in the whole fucking world.  Every upcoming country past and future used it or will use it to base a democratic system off of.  First there was the Magna Carta, then there was The United States Constitution, that's all.

Just no. Im not going to go into it here but you don't have a fucking clue.

UN declaration of human rights?

I want one of those little tiny pistols you see in the movies, like the ones the size of your palm.

Yea thats what i was getting at.  An actual assualt rifle isn't what they call "assualt rifles"

[Birdmane]

I am correct.  You are not.  Just because your friends uncle sucks off some UN big wig doesn't mean you know everything.

You joker. Such a respected document, black people being 3/5ths of a person and all that.

What about all the democratic systems that were around before the constitution was written? The US system of government is not the be all and end all, its not without its flaws.

UN Declaration of human rights/geneva conventions/declaration of the rights of the child > US Constitution.

Now fuck off.

Every thread about guns has to go turn into a dogshit war about politics at some point...

Here we go!

The United States is not Europe.

Get over it.

I would go with a Glock 19, or 23 for back up.
I would only get the Glock 26 if you were going to be carrying it on a daily basis. Small guns are less accurate and less fun to shoot,
so if you get something bigger like the 19 or 23 you can still have fun with it at the range.
I would suggest you go over to AR15.com and look around the forums a bit, you will definitely learn a thing or two.

A Deringer, I've seem people that had belt buckles made to hold them.

[sinistershadow]

I would go with a Glock G20 10mm, its fairly cheap, very simple to use, light weight, and accurate. It holds 15 rounds a clip which is plent from stopping a home intruder. Of the many hand guns i have shot over the years this was the best feeling and most accurate to me. However if you wanna get some show stopping ability you could always go with the .44 magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

When i was reading this post and a song came on saying "Did you ever see what a 44. magnum pistol would do to a womens face? I mean it would fucken destroy it just blow her right apart."
Oh man.
