    I live in a very well-to-do area (I am the sore thumb there), and strangely, that is all you hear. It is accepted though. Apparently the yuppies that live around me LOVE weapons and you hear them fairly normally. Lots of land so they just shoot on their property. Plus, just 3 miles down the road from me there is the range I frequent, so all day long on weekends you can hear heavy caliber rounds in the distance. Kinda nice really since most other places I have lived (even not so nice areas), I was the bad guy for owning weapons.

    Pretty normal to hear automatic gunfire and see random tracer fire on 4th of July. Pretty idiotic really since what goes up, must come down. :\

    Accepted I say, but I can also guarantee that the majority of these morons don't have the common knowledge of ownership, control, and maintenance, so it is pretty scary too.

    Careful where you point that thing......you could give somebody a nasty welt with that.

    Sounds like it is getting rough back east. I am glad I left 33 years ago.

    What do you experienced gun toters think of the Beretta neo 22 pistol. http://www.beretta.com/Defence-Pisto...=82&f=2&id=826

    I think I'm at my breaking point now to buy. I have not handled a pistol in 40 years. I did hunt a lot in my younger day and owned and handled 12 gauge double barrel and a Marlin 30-30. I am not yet licensed to conceal and carry. It is not something just to confront a person with but for personal protection while hiking around - which I do a lot alone.

    I may have told this story but I am a veterinarian and do submissions for rabies testing for the local health dept when they request them. Some months back a man was jumped by 2 Pitbulls while out in the woods alone hunting. To his luck the offender launched into his backpack water pack on his back and began to shake him. He told me this saved his life. He was bit on the arm in the struggle. He pulled his weapon and the Pit was history. I probably would only carry this while in the wilds...but is it big enough.? most of you will say no but wouldn't it still do the job???

    22 is enough for a person or dog with multiple shots... don't shoot for the skull though cus it will probobly bounce off. If you are really looking for protection you may want to go bigger .40-.45 (human/?) .44 mag if you need bear protection.

    I like the way you think....not only did you "get it", almost from the get go on sight support, but you fully understand the ever present threat to our constitutional rights...

    You, my future personal friend, have earned my respect...
