Trailrider #896 Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 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! Let them draw their own conclusions. I haven't lied. I just haven't answered the question!

Warden Callaway Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bart Slade Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 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? 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got one of those. I was given (free) 2 holsters, one belt and one shoulder holster. The shoulder holster is a S&W. A little research and it's for a 8 3/8" model 29.
