5 and I am well trained. Lifetime CC card. I can stick 5, from my 5.56 AR within the size of a thumbnail @ 100yrds, but I want a better scope.
I've got a Ruger PC Charger, 9mm. Do to an order mishap, the dealer threw in one of those stocks that I found out later makes me a felon. ... But I lost it in a weird boating accident and it sank in the ocean.... oopsie.

I’m sorry you have to compensate for micropenis
 
As an American I am a champion of choice. Knives, ninja stars really anything that fits in a pocket. Hoodie weather expands options even more. 😌
 
There is a big gap between
1) I have guns and I've just fired them a few times
and
2) I have a guns and shoot/train regularly


Does regularly mean weekly, monthly, yearly, what?

I have fired my guns hundreds of times over the decades I have owned them, so #1 is clearly wrong
I go many months or even years between firing them, though, so #2 / "regularly" is wrong also, it seems

But #2 is closer, so I picked that. My guns are shotguns and hunting rifles that are stored on a farm where I grew up in Indiana, now owned by my late brother's wife. I shoot them when I visit. Three times in the past 5 years, it seems to me. I couldn't shoot them where I live, in suburbia, other than going to a gun range or shooting an invading Nazi/ Mas type.

So I see that you are now finally coming around to the idea that results can be shit, based on how the questions asked, are interpreted by the person with a conclusion as a starting point. Very good grasshoppa.
It didn't have to be this difficult, but here we are.
So You have guns 4 states away. You've shot them for years. You can use them, but not ready for a special opp, when the shit may hits the fan with an ammo jam and you have 2 seconds to diagnose and clear it.
That is totally reasonable.
 
Don’t own one. But I’m glad a bunch of you fine people do. We need that freedom. I don’t think a handful of checks and balances are all that big of a deal. I’ve never understood why responsible gun owners would do anything but support background checks. And then there are some types I don’t think are regulated well enough. But all in all, I’d vehemently “fight” for all of our rights to choose whether or not we want to own guns.

Ironically, ESPECIALLY with the vibe our current admin is putting out. I like a decent percentage of our citizenship packing.

I own a gun and know how to shoot it.




.....but I'm much better with knives.

In the open, I'm a dead man. In a house or in the woods though.....
