Here's some photos of the aftermath.

Boom Baby 1.

Boom Baby 2.

And that's all I could find of that poor can .

That can didn't put up much of a fight I reckon?



As jealous as I am of my American shooter buddies, at least I can also say I have a .44 revolver, although it's not a magnum...

I generally don't want to involve politics here but I have some good news actually. Well, for me anyway


It seems like the illegalisation of autoloading hunting and sporting rifles has been terminated completely, no five-year licenses on said guns, no mag restrictions and no mandatory medical examination for gun owners. One could argue that last part would be a good thing, but we don't even have that in order to drive and we do that a heck of a lot more than we shoot.


At least this is the news I got. Nothing is certain, especially not in the long run, but at least for now it seems like I won't become a criminal over night anymore

Awesome I'm glad to hear that .

Went shooting recently myself. Got a Hi Point pistol stupid cheap ($140) and took it out. I own quite a few firearms but the Hi Point stands out as the biggest and ugliest. Worked great though. It is a nice bare bones gun that works.

It is sort of like the H&R of the modern era.

Kiln - sounds like a good deal!

Just don't mention it to Hickok or you might hear his laughter all the way to your home


Wouldn't get it myself unless I actually could get it over here, then I'd be all over it If only there was a way for a legal gun owner to get another legal firearm



Edit: Why you should NEVER load a black powder gun with modern smokeless

And don't worry, mALX. I don't have any smokeless powder so I can't make that mistake

Yeah my classiest looking pistol is the stainless CZ75B. There is just something so satisfying about holding a solid steel pistol that has served several European police and military forces since (you guessed it) 1975.

Why did you post that? It's like a fishing show, it hypnotises you into watching it . As fun as it was to watch it is interesting and points out the difference between regular black powder and smokeless powder.

Because I thought at least someone here should post videos, eh-hrrm...

When I hear stories like this I always think "What would I do in this situation?" and then reality sets in and the only answer I can think of is "I don't think there is anything I can do". Yes I carry a handgun but it's a Derringer with a 3.25 inch barrel, at most it's a short range weapon and my other weapon I can carry is my .44 Magnum but that's not much for conceal carry and I will need ear protection if I had to shoot it or else I'll need to learn to sign language or text.
It's tricky having a CCW license cause the line on when you can use it is so thin that maybe it's just better to find a hiding place, arm yourself and IF the perp is in proper range then take him out before he takes you out. IDK just a lot of things to think about.

A gun ban would not have stopped this. If someone wants to do this kind of thing they will find guns somehow. And if not; bombs, cars, trucks etc. Let's just ban everything that exists, eh?

Exactly. Banning guns is a stupid idea. That said, I'm all for lengthy background checks and wait periods.

Yeah, that's not a problem with me either. Gotta have some standards at least. Not too keen on registration, mag restrictions, gun limitation etc though because they make no sense.


If I can have one gun, why not ten if I want to and can afford it?

If a mag can take only ten rounds but I can go out and buy more mags and all the ammo I want then that rule is pointless.

And of course; first registration then confiscation... Makes no (real) sense to register neither a gun nor a car, really. Not to me anyway.

You wouldn't believe how many time I've used that statement and won a lot of gun debates on FB. I agree if someone's going to kill, they're going to kill and it doesn't matter what item they'll use for weapons.

Right. Outlaw guns and gangsters and thugs will still use them and the everyday crime of passion will be committed with blades and blunt objects (whatever is to hand). What would they do then? Outlaw blades and tools?

I think if we just outlawed all the humans, crime would stop.

You may be on to something here


Btw, anyone shot their gun at new years where you live?

In Detroit the way you can tell it's midnight, is when all the guns start going off at once.

The rest of the time the guns go off separately...

Can't to cold outside .
