What I meant was if two people were struggling, a rifle might be better for making a clear shot at the Perp without hurting the other person.

Is a rifle would be better than a shotgun in this situation if he really needed to pull the trigger?

Do you have to go to a range to practice$

I hope we don't have to pay if she hire them as wedding honor guards.

Wow!! Does she have to pay for the armed guards?

I think your right. It is this one http://www.hkpro.com/index.php?Itemid=5&catid=8:the-automatic-rifles&id=80:hk416&option=com_content&view=article

On the right, what is it that he is holding?http://photos.nj.com/star-ledger/2011/07/casey_anthony_released_from_ja_1.html

Both kinds of the scanners have trouble to read my fingers from time to time. Sometimes I have to try more than twice. I would not trust them on a gun safe if I need open it quick. The slot one works a little better for me but I still need to drag my finger very carefully which is not something for hd situation.

You will be the only one can hear it if you don't need hearing aid. YouTube has a lot video ppl playing airsoft games and shooting at each other in their back yard while waring face protections. In that sense, it is better than .22 because you can practice the real fight.

You could use an good air soft gun to practice and it is much cheaper. They have replicas of most of real guns and look and feel the same except the recoil.

After reading this thread, I understand why most of us are still living in NJ and complaining all day long.

That was what I thought when I brought a 1911 .22 conversion and was hoping it is going to help my skill. It is cheap to shoot but it helped very little. I can shoot very tight group with .22 from very begining but still not seen much of improvement with .45 after went through thousands of .22. For some people it may help. But now if I want improve my 1911 skill, I shoot .45. Another thing is that these .22 conversion kits got ftf a lot depends on ammo.

Copied There always seems to be a lot of confusion over the difference between a .223 and a 5.56 chamber. Is it safe to shoot this? Is it safe to do that? More confusion is added when some manufacturers advertise rifles with .223/5.56 chambers. I found this 'excellent' explaination on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.223_Remington) and wanted to share it on this forum. The .223 Remington is a sporting cartridge with the same external dimensions as the 5.56x45mm NATO military cartridge. It is loaded with a .224" diameter, jacketed bullet, with weights ranging from 40 up to 90 grains, though the most common loadings by far are 55 grains. The primary difference between .223 Remington and 5.56 x 45 mm is that .223 is loaded to lower pressures and velocities compared to 5.56 mm. .223 Remington ammunition can be safely fired in a 5.56 mm chambered gun, but the reverse can be an unsafe combination. The additional pressure created by 5.56 mm ammo will frequently cause over-pressure problems such as difficult extraction, flowing brass, or popped primers, but in extreme cases, could damage or destroy the rifle. Chambers cut to .223 Remington specifications have a shorter leade (throat) area as well as slightly shorter headspace dimensions compared to 5.56 mm "military" chamber specs, which contributes to the pressure issues. While the 5.56 mm and .223 cartridges are very similar, they are not identical. Military cases are made from thicker brass than commercial cases, which reduces the powder capacity (an important consideration for handloaders), and the NATO specification allows a higher chamber pressure. Test barrels made for 5.56mm NATO measure chamber pressure at the case mouth, as opposed to the SAAMI location. This difference accounts for upwards of 20,000+ psi difference in pressure measurements. That means that advertised pressure of 58,000 psi for 5.56mm NATO, is around 78,000 psi tested in .223 Rem test barrels (SAAMI .223 Rem Proof MAP is 78,500 psi so every 5.56mm round fired is a proof load, very dangerous). The 5.56 mm chambering, known as a NATO or mil-spec chambers, have a longer leade, which is the distance between the mouth of the cartridge and the point at which the rifling engages the bullet. The .223 chambering, known as the "SAAMI chamber", is allowed to have a shorter leade, and is only required to be proof tested to the lower SAAMI chamber pressure. To address these issues, various proprietary chambers exist, such as the Wylde chamber[2] or the Armalite chamber, which are designed to handle both 5.56 mm and .223 equally well. Using commercial .223 cartridges in a 5.56-chambered rifle should work reliably, but generally will not be as accurate as when fired from a .223-chambered gun due to the excessive leade. [3] Using 5.56 mil-spec cartridges (such as the M855) in a .223-chambered rifle can lead to excessive wear and stress on the rifle and even be unsafe, and the SAAMI recommends against the practice.[4] Some commercial rifles marked as ".223 Remington" are in fact suited for 5.56 mm, such as many commercial AR-15 variants and the Ruger Mini-14, but the manufacturer should always be consulted to verify that this is acceptable before attempting it, and signs of excessive pressure (such as flattening or gas staining of the primers) should be looked for in the initial testing with 5.56 mm ammunition.

Good point. What it may be I can get it then? I try to google and too many useless links came up.

Golfball. The fun part is the followup shot when after the ball starts rolling after hit by the first shot.

Simple answer: don't move.

Inside job? How did they know the family were going to come back and knew where things are?

I am going to get the newest rifle invented that time. No matter what it is.

I have been using iPhone. Only thing missing is I can't zoom in to make font larger as I can do to other web site.

I am pretty sure i read somewhere that making copies of fid is not legal. The same as some other gov documents unless you have permission to do so.

Looks like we have to train ourself for one against four or five. Looks like a revolver would not be a good choice.

Most of the houses here are easy for intruders to get in even all the doors are closed. Not sure if it would have helped even the garage door was closed.

Actually I was thinking to get a cx4 storm .45 for hd. Scratched that idea after reading that article. It has a graph shows .45 actually penetrate a lot more than 223.

Talk about penetration, I found this An extremely important point to address is the question of velocity. Many people are obsessed with using the highest-velocity ammunition possible. This is a bad choice as penetration is usually DECREASED with increased velocity. Several topics in the FAQ address this issue, but it's important to reiterate that point here. Bullets are designed to perform properly within a certain velocity range. Too low of a velocity will cause the bullet not to expand and can lead to overpenetration. Too high a velocity, and the bullet's additional impact energy will lead to violent expansion and/or fragmentation and result in a large loss of momentum; in these cases, the bullet can actually UNDERPENETRATE.
