RE: shooting - Scythe13 - 18 January 2012
Rat Catcher .22 air rifle
I'm teaching my girlfriend to shoot it.
RE: shooting - NorthernRaider - 18 January 2012
I often go out with a friend who has a 12 bore to bag pigeon, and I have an air rifle myself its a BSA Tactical Ultra 22 Carbine with synthetic furnature, forward pistol grip / bipod, 4 times scope and has been tuned and fitted with a Tench regulator, I get about 80 full power shots off one charge. Weapon is only 34 inches long so its easy concealable. My crossbows are more than capable of feeding us after TSHTF is a collapse occurs.

I have shotguns (12 bore dbl barrel hammer guns) and an air rifle. The rifle is only a break action cheapo but it takes rabbits & pigeons no bother.
All are handy TSHTF tools.

PS: As a newbie here what the hell is BOB???

I think NR missed one acronym
B-NICE
Biological, Nuclear, Incidiary, Chemical, Explosion. The 5 kinds of terrorist attack.
Even though their financial attacks are more effective, even if less obvious.

Thats a military acronym not a common prepper one but its handy to know either way.
RE: shooting - Joe Poncho - 19 January 2012
Many thanks for that, NR. Now I know.
Cheers,

Back to guns, many of us who obviously would like to have that basic human right to own a gun legally for self defence, but are required to ask the police to give us permision for something no one has the right to deny us in the first place. We sadly choose NOT to apply for a licence or Certificate and go without owning a FA or SG, The increased threat to our preps, caches and stockpiles by intrusive cops checking our guns are stored safely is just too great.
I would rather risk being unarmed but not on official radar than get a licence and face frequent visits from nebby cops who dont live on the same planet as the rest of us.
Under the older War Laws and Emergency Powers acts if activated in a national emergency the cops and military have the absolute right to come and sieze your guns to be either stored, destroyed or used by the authorities !!!, Imagine them knocking on your door asTSHTF and searching your house for your guns and finding your caches of food and fuel etc, they would confiscate it all instantly.
