I've got a fond Nerf memory to share.... A few years ago, after Christmas, I took my kids and a couple of my now 15 year old's friends to a nearby park where we had a Nerf war. They had various guns that they had gotten as part of their Christmas haul, i was using two Slingfire rifles. For those of you who don't know, the Slingfire loads its darts through a magazine, and it uses lever action to chamber a new round. So anyways, my son and his friend come up on me after I've fire a couple of shots; they figure, "Ha, ha...he's got a Slingfire in each hand, how's he gonna reload?" Not realizing that I, having grown up in the 80s and 90s, have seen way too many action movies. I just make sure my hands are positioned right and snap the rifles down and up, *KA-CHACK!* and chamber new rounds one handed. My son grabs his buddy by the shoulder, "RUN! DAD KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING!" Oh, man...we still laugh about that....

Hell, Chuck Conners was doing that with his Winchester on the Rifleman in the 50s. My dad talked about seeing some ranchers doing that to when he was a kid before that. I haven't found any info but it seems its been a "technique" for a while.

What about Movie GUN quotes? Is that a thing? You mean like this really good one from Harry Callahan? "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a . 44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?

Yeah, I knew Chuck did it before Ahnold. It's a neat trick to watch, even better if you can do it. I didn't do the full twirl, I just snapped them down then back up. But it was very satisfying watching my kid panic, LOL.

So this could just as easily go in the venting thread.
I own two shotguns and a scoped 30-06.
This weekend I had to call the sheriff about the large party going on at the Air B and B next door to me. It took them about two hours to show up. Mean while I had drunken idiots trespassing on our property. Stumbling through the woods, coming to my house because we have a cellphone signal enhancer and their Facebook posts are all important. I was pretty pissed. My wife and kid were really freaked out by the whole situation. She gave me her consent to go and purchase a pistol.
I went to BassPro. They will only sell guns and ammunition by appointment!?! Three people behind the counter doing nothing and not a customer in sight. "OK. Can I get an appointment?" The next available appointment is in August. I hate California's stupid gun laws. They feel very unconstitutional to me. A two week wait to buy ammo even? Wtf!
So I went to a little mom and pop gun store. The guy in line in front of me, he waited two hours for one box of 45acp. They will only sell one box, of one type of ammo, per person, per day and that is only after a background check. So ridiculous.
Anyways. In ten days I can go pick up my new Springfield Armory 1911 loaded target 9mm. I know, a 1911 in 9mm it's sacrilegious. It was literally the last semi auto pistol they had in stock. It was that or nothing. I feel lucky to have gotten it. I'll post a picture when I have it in hand.
I'm really starting to hate California. I've lived here my whole life and I'm about ready to move out of state. Thanks for reading. Sorry for bitchin in this thread instead of venting elsewhere.

By appointment? What the actual Hell.... and I was peeved about the waiting period in FL. When I was 24 I bought my first handgun....Ruger .357. I had rifles for hunting that were bought for me by my dad when I was younger but this was MY first gun...that I purchased with my money. Proud moment I'm sure you all will agree. I initially wanted a .45 but that gleaming hunk of steel called to me. Back on point...I walked in and 4 hours later walked out with my new gun. 2 of those hours were just shooting the breeze with the owner. Took no time for my background check to come back with no flags. Is it alright to ask opinions here on a purchase? You mean like this really good one from Harry Callahan? "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a . 44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?
Wonder if Harry would carry the S&W 500 now a days

Love this
I remember seeing T2 with my brother and parents when it came out, the audience was WHOOPING when Schwarzenegger did that twirl with the shotgun. And can we all agree, that line from the Duke is one of the best ever?

Of course You know it's kind of funny, I have a few acquaintances who are pretty anti-gun. You know the kind, the ones who always ask "Why would you ever need a gun? Just call the police!". Or the even more insufferable "Who needs an AR15 to hunt deer??" Funny how things change. In the current state of civil unrest, damn near all of them have decided to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights for the first time only to find out that it isn't nearly as quick and easy as they have been told by the media and takes even more effort and expense to get a license to carry. These jokers have even asked ME if they could BORROW one of MY guns, LOL. I just channel Rorschach. "All the anti-gunners will look up and shout 'GIVE US A GUN'
And I'll look down and whisper 'No.”The only good to come out of 2020 so far has been that gun control efforts will be dead for another generation thanks to all this.
