He just didn 't get to shoot unless I was with him. It's no big deal if they are supervised. _________________ Airguns: Two starlings talking "Larry, did you hear that? Larry??

Then got my Ruger 10/22 when I was 8. _________________ I believe in gun control, If there's a gun around I want to be controlling it.......   Posted: Mon Jun 20, 2011 7:15 pm Jr. Squirreler Veteran Member Joined: 12 Dec 2010 Posts: 419 Location: New York cactusrat wrote: 8 years!

And that's one of the more expensive ones.

I wish folks (especially law makers) would not take them so seriously. The more innocent and weak, and child toy-ish they sound the more rights we have with them. In my state, anything more than 700 fps or 18 caliber is counted as a firearm. That means no break-barrels and no 22s and why bother with PCP? Someone took them too seriously, and now I have to follow firearm laws unless it is a weaker airgun. This means no shooting in city limits at the risk of being arrested for a felony. So I signed up over at the Crosman air pistol forum and have bought a 1377 American Classic and am looking into some light mods, to get it right up near 700 fps. Man, I hope I can get out of this poo-poo state pretty soon... If you're smart, you'll belittle your airguns as much as possible, lest the same fate befall you. I recommend "BB gun" or "pellet gun." I'm also not sensitive to it because I'm a firearm owner. I've got a bunch of powder burners, so I don't feel belittled if someone pokes fun at me. _________________ -Jeremy -------------------------- "Well begun is half done." -Aristotle   Posted: Mon Jul 25, 2011 8:41 pm justsayno Member Joined: 29 Nov 2009 Posts: 46 Location: South of Philly sniper wrote: I usually reference "high powered adult airguns".

On topic tho'. Today's pellet shooters aren't to be taken lightly. 80 yard pass thru on critters is nothing to horse play with. _________________ I believe in gun control, If there's a gun around I want to be controlling it.......
