Hehe, U.Lee, good to see you back!

Yes, that is a Rossi .22 pump action. I like the feel of that rifle and quite accurate too esp for me who has difficulty keep my arms steady!

Wow, that is a good way of scaring off the would be intruders. Who does not fear the sound of the click of a hammer being pulled back or the sound of a magazine being slammed into a semi automatic?! Heh, I'm sure that made the would be intruders think twice about coming back to try breaking in another time!

That is an interesting line on Les Moore's tombstone! Haha.

I'm sure there are people like you who would not shoot an animal. But I still have the strong hunter's blood in me, and when I see certain animals, I see food! Heheh.

Akmal, you are right. We cannot depend on the police to arrive in time to help us, esp when we are faced by dangerous armed men.

Hello Puteri, I'm back. Ahhh, you talking of one of my favourite subjects, guns.
One night some years back, my wife and I was watching a late movie, and around 1am....1am!! There was a soft knock on our door. Soft knock. I took a peep thru the keyhole and nampak dua orang hitam. They don't look like collecting for the Red Cross.
I grabbed my M-16 semi auto (now since given up to the cops as we went for holidays, dare not keep at home)...anyway, I always keep the empty magazine seperately, so standing next to the door, I slammed the magazine in (it was empty anyway) with a loud double, 'kriickk krrraaack'...and any 5 year old boy will know thats a gun being loaded or cocked.
I did not even say anything, those two fellows, big guys too, bolted off as fast as they could run! Ha ha.
I love target shooting, but never animals.
When I was about 12 followed an uncle at night tembak flying fox. He spotted a monkey and gave me the shotgun. Without thinking, I shot.
Puteri...that was the day I swore I will never shoot any animals ever again.
That monkey was holding its baby I did not see. The mother died, but the baby survived, my uncle took it home for a pet. But I cried and was affected for weeks after that. Now its paper targets only.
Love that Rossi pump of yours. .22?
Talking about 'Colt .45 Peacemaker'...have you heard, this real one in a I think Kansas Boothill,
"Here lies Les Moore, three slugs from a .44, no Les, no Moore".
Have a nice day, UL.

Puteri,
Nice opst. My family have one too. But the only one licenced to hold it is my dad.
The gun has put my family more at ease. Of course it is when we we have something lethal to protect us from someone lethal with something lethal too. What, are we going to wait somebody in our family to get killed when we are waiting for aid when something bad happen?
Revolver.45? Nice! But then again, if it is doubled with some martial arts, it is going to be much better.
Good day.

Pat, that's true. Criminals have their sources to supply them with illegal weapons, even the latest kinds of firearms.

And yes the police force is left with their outdated firearms. Still can kill but they could be better armed against these gut toting criminals.

2007-11-19T11:44:00.000-08:00

Nightwing, that's right. The criminals have their guns, but the ordinary people have nothing. What is parang good for against an intruder who has a firearm?!

nowadays,criminals lebih canggih weapon iya ari sida polis ko laki aku,nyak kebuah polis diatu tusah amai...bayangkan sida polis agi ngena senjata bansa lama,tapi perompak dah ngena senjata yg lebih canggih...

Educating ppl abt guns is more important then anything else. Especially the young ppl.
Guns is not a toy ...period.

In Malaysia...some criminals already uses guns to rob ppl at their homes..

Zawi,

Don't worry about my comment on your blog! I thought maybe I didn't click the Publish Your Comment properly! :-)

The mainstream media often exploits those kinds of stories .. "when it bleeds, it leads" mentality when it comes to reporting news.

In England people are resorting to buying stun guns to protect themselves in their homes. Even stun guns are illegal, but are you going to depend on the police to come to your rescue? But then it could be too late if you are unlucky.

Puteri,
My perception of gun proliferations leading to gun related crimes changed after reading this post. I guess all the movies involving guns has made us to believe that trigger happy people will shoot to maim or even kill people at the slightest provocation. All the more so as guns are easily available and you can buy one if you fit the seemingly simple criterias.
Again I would like to apologize for the oversight on two of your comments in my blogs. I have done the needful and responded to both of them. Please accept my apology.
