Trailrider #896 Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 Guns? What would I do with a gun? Who owns guns? (When one medical form I've had to sign asks if I own a gun, I just leave it blank!

Warden Callaway Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 One day I happened to look behind the bedroom door and there were a few odds and ends leaning there. Amongst the junk was an Egyptian? rolling block rifle I didn't recognize. I don't know where or when I got it. Dusty and dirty - it had been there years. I cleaned it up with Pledge and took it to a gunshop and got a tidy little sum. That's how many I have. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bart Slade Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 When you say "guns"....are you talking about ALL guns including the CAS stuff? Just stuff that's functional outside of CAS (home/personal defense, hunting, etc)? What about percussion or flint lock black powder guns, count those too? What about antiques that are really challenging to obtain ammunition for? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Wikipedia, but matches with what I remember from the 1863 Ordnance Department manual: "A gun was a cannon designed to fire in a flat trajectory, a howitzer was a shorter piece designed to throw exploding shells in an arcing trajectory, and a mortar was a very short piece for firing at elevations of more than 45°." That's my story and I'm sticking to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite correct, but a gun is also defined as a weapon with a smooth barrel, which a mortar has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
