chevysoldier Posted November 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Whoa, this thread is back?I was going to get a shotgun for home defense, but went revolver instead.Have any of you shot a shotgun inside a home? I would think you'd lose your hearing permanantly, along with everyone else in your family. Better lose my hearing for a while than my life. And I'd grab both the shotgun and the pistol. Unless you are shooting a .22 it's gonna be loud no matter what.Kawi- Never shot a 500 but my understanding is it isn't much different from the 870. Keep your eyes open for deals, I got mine for $240. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kawi kid Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 You see that mofo on walking dead shoot the zombie inside the tank? I was surprised they played him being deaf for awhile after that, most movies they shoot and they still can hear eachother whispering to eachother which is unrealistic.Lol after that part I looked at carrie and said he would be way.more fucked up than that lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Butters Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 i want a deer gun that i can also use for home defense... would the 18" barrel be too short for deer, and would the 28" be too long for home def?im leaning towards this modelhttp://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/37_64/products_id/95587 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevysoldier Posted November 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 You can get different barrels for the same gun. They take about 15 seconds to swap. Sometimes they have a gun come with two barrels for that purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lucked out on my 870 with an 18.5" barrel, black synthetic for $240 after $30 rebate. Check out Vance's or Buckeye Outdoors. Buckeye Outdoors has a pretty good selection and is really nice. If you have the time, go to Cabela's in WV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Butters Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 went to gander mtn and found a 26" remington 870, black for $329.99went to vances and they had it listed for $299.99.stood vances for 30mins and they had gone from #98 to #4....i was #16.so i got tired and decided the $30 wasnt worth sitting there for hours then getting caught in rush hour.Went back to gander and bought it, and they were nice enough to price match for me and I got it for $299.99... never bought a shotgun before so i asked the guy which slugs I would need for the barrel I have, and he showed me which choke tube I needed and which kind of slugs.due to being broke - i only bought a small pack of slugs (5 or 6) and the choke tubeout the door i was around $350, i was satisfied with it.ive got to mail in my $30 rebate now and then when that money comes in, I will get a cleaning kit for it....cant wait to shoot itquestion though...do i need a hunting license and tags to hunt on private property? was thinkin about goin out next week and huntin some deer at my girls houseif i do need license and tags, how much does that cost? and where would i get it done?

max power Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Check out Kawi Kid bringing back the Gravediggers thread from the dead! question though...do i need a hunting license and tags to hunt on private property? was thinkin about goin out next week and huntin some deer at my girls houseif i do need license and tags, how much does that cost? and where would i get it done?Yes, you need a license and a tag. You can get them at any walmart, Gander, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 This is only 4 + 1 so that would give me 3 less shots.If your concern with that statement is self defense I would respectfully suggest that after 5 shots the bad guy will have run away (if he does not have a gun) or shot you dead (if he does have a gun). Almost all self defense situations are 25 feet, or less. You won't miss with buckshot loaded.Now, if you are worried about the coming Zombie Apocalypse then certainly you need more rounds in the gun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's your parent's property you don't need a license. Grandkids up to age 18 can also hunt on their gradparent's land w/o a license. Still need tags though. Check out http://www.ohiodnr.com/wildlife/dow/regulations/hunting.aspxMost all the info you need is on that site.Check out Kawi Kid bringing back the Gravediggers thread from the dead! No shit.If your concern with that statement is self defense I would respectfully suggest that after 5 shots the bad guy will have run away (if he does not have a gun) or shot you dead (if he does have a gun).

But I find the saying "You fight with what you have in and on the gun" very true. Worst case scenarios do happen and I would like to be prepared.

chevysoldier Posted November 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Looks good. Before you shoot it the first time, tear it down, wipe all the crap off it real good, oil it and reassemble. It will be a lot more smooth cycling and shooting.
