Went shopping and got a .40

[NiceGuysFinishLast]

Dave, sorry I never called you.. I never went home the other night.. crashed at a friend's house, then went back to the bar tonight... didn't have to DD... I'm hammered, cuz my friend offered to pay for all my alcohol.. so, 15 jaeger bombs, 4 shots, and 3 beers later.. I'm drunk.. I got 2 numbers tonight, which I'm pretty fuckin proud of that...

Anyway, to terry: Yeah, I know about the waiting period.. i won't be buying a pistol anytime soon, i have to pay Dave first, that's why I haven't even gotten my exhaust yet, cuz I feel guilty doing it before I pay Dave for his bike.

To Frankie: You're an idiot if you believe I can't hit a barn with a pistol. At 10 yards, I can put 15 rounds inside of 2 inches. 10 yards isn't far, but in a self defense situation, it's plenty far. I practice high stress situations, double taps, shots with obstacles (i.e., bystanders), etc... In a high stress situation, i believe I could operate almost as effectively as I can at a range. I have out shot police officers at the range before. If they can carry, why can't I? Just because you don't believe you need a weapon (and if you don't, I'm fine with that), is no reason to insult those of us who wish to carry. Not to make light of it, but VT tried to pass a bylaw allowing students with CCLs to carry on campus (currently, if you are a student, and you have a CCL, you can't carry on your college campus)... it was shot down 2 years ago. If multiple students had had pistols, do you think that sick f%$k would have killed as many people as he did? No, cuz someone with a weapon would have returned fire. Even if they hadn't wounded him seriously (or even hit him), they would have slowed him down enough to allow police to arrive and prevent such a massacre.

Dave, I'll call you soon, we'll hang out, go shooting or something, and I'll pay you (Instead of going skydiving, like I was going to), and we'll go ride for a bit, once I get my new tires on (I spun my rear the other day... a 33rwhp bike shouldn't be spinning the rear on dry pavement... it's scary how bald my tire is... 13.5K miles on it)...

Sorry to have turned your thread into a weapons debate, it was supposed to be about your new pistol.

When you get around to getting a sidearm give the FEG PA-63 some serious consideration.  It is an awesome weapon and very easily concealed   Never had a jam out of it either

Sorry to cause a debate,

Hey NIck if you need a new rear tire I got an extra one you can have at the house.  It has a little less than 2k miles on it.  It's mounted already but you can either remove it and mount it on your rim or just take the whole thing and bring the rim back later.

Geep damn this is a motorcycle forum. . umm sorry guess I better not post anything unless its strictly motocycle related.

Frankie, I have a small duck and haveing a gun makes my duck feel like its at least 8" longer than when I dont have my pistol on me.  Besides that I'm insecure and having a gun makes me feel manly hell without it I would feel like Peewee Herman, without all the masturbating.    

FYI I don't carry a gun on me.  Just because people have a firearm doesn't mean they go around armed all the time.   I do like to head over to the range and shoot for me it's very relaxing and helps me sort out things in my head.   Usually I just rent a gun there but decieded that since my son and wife have moved out I would buy one.  As far as firearm safty / training I think I got enough of that when I was in the Marines.  I was qualifed expert with the 45 when I was in the corps so yes i can hit the broad side of a barn with a pistol.

Guys, we both know this topic always spurs a debate and it's about as on topic as me advertising a Buss planer in the for sale section.  You knew what was going to happen before you posted.

Frankly, I don't care, just so long as the bullets aren't whizzing over MY head.
