Great first shotgun

It is a 410 which will make is good for your wife to handle and easy on the shoulder.

…And if she’s only 30 minutes away, that’s 30 minutes you should use to get an interview. 60 seats is no kind of number for the Democrats to have in the Senate, so c’mon people, dig deep and support Senator Chambliss.

I’m from Massachusetts and I know that there’s nothing I can do to change the electoral balance in this state right now, but that’s no reason for me to allow Saxby Chambliss to lose.

As far as the shotgun is concerned, I’d recommend something from the Mossberg “Just In Case” series. Waterproof case, survival kit and very wieldy. I’m sure Governor Palin could handle one and I’d actually like to see that picture.

20 gauge, double barrel, side by side. Any model.

I thought you were a powerful and influential member of the new media?

BTW, Erick, it’s a really bad time for gun-shopping.

What with the new crew ready to roll in and possibly do what you might expect, gun dealers are being stampeded.

I’ve got a great local dealer I’ve known for a long time, and the best they can do right now is wait-list me on a particular model that I finally decided to pull the trigger (pun intended) on getting. All I really care about is landing one before the new clowns try to ban them (again).

Mossberg for home defense the 500s are marvelous.

Is there any advertising for the Palin rally? Is she going to be in a vary large area? I saw her in Richmond before the election along with more than 20,000 others. I was about 15 feet from the stage. I don’t know why but I thought she was taller. You’ll love it, as she was electrifying in VA and really knows how to get a crowd pumped up. She could hardly get three words out between all the cheers and chants.

As far as the 3 year old- Are you going to try the 10 page questionaire before the shotgun?

I like them because, uh um, their a customer of mine I agree with Skanderbeg, gun companies are not in a recession.

Rally here (north metro Atlanta) at 4:00 on Monday. No word yet on an exact location, though.

If she can get me to begrudgingly vote for McCain, she can get me to begrudgingly vote for Chambliss.

Erick, if you haven’t already, sign up for Twitter before you go. Then you can post online what’s happening at the event from your cell phone. You know, for those of us who can’t be there.

As we all know from reading RedState, Gov. Palin made herself the most accessible to the press than the other 3 national candidates. This was surpressed by the biased media who didn’t want to contradict their story-line that she was an idiot.
After the appearance or rally with Sen. Chambliss, Gov. Palin should have a news conference and show them what she can do. She’ll be great.
Go Gov. Palin!

Specifically a Remington 870 with a Knoxx Spec Ops recoil compensator. You can get one pre-installed or just buy a Rem. 870 or Moss. 500 and order one for it from Knoxx

to demonstrate her great charisma and ability to connect with people. Gun rights and card check are great issues for her to talk about, as well as the importance of a workable Rep minority in the Senate.

I expect her to start staking out her own ploicies and positions now that she is free of the constraints of being part of a ticket.

I am cautiously optimistic re Chambliss and Coleman.

I have both a Remington 870 12 gauge and a .410 Mossberg 500.

500 vs. 870:
The 870 is a better gun; however, the control layout on a Mossberg is better for a first timer. The thumb safety and rear slide release is simply easier to use (at least for my wife).

12 gauge vs. .410:
While the .410 is a great gun, I don’t recommend the .410 for home defense. It simply doesn’t have the power.
The 12 gauge is also a great gun, but it kicks fairly hard. Your wife might not like it. My wife is OK with it.

I recommend you let your wife shoot a 12 gauge pump and see if she’s comfortable with it. If she’s not, I’d recommend dropping down to a 20 gauge (but not a .410). The shortened youth models are easy to handle.

If you want to kill a drug-addled intruder, use buckshot. If you want to make them mad, use birdshot. Birdshot leaves a nasty wound but it won’t immediately stop a determined attacker. A well placed shot with buckshot should result in a DRT (Dead Right There) every time.

My 12 gauge is outfitted with a Hogue youth synthetic stock and an 18″ barrel for more maneuverability inside the house. 18″ is the shortest barrel you can buy legally. Because it is so light it kicks like a mule. I normally have 2-3/4″ 00 buckshot in my gun case.

Winchester Super X3 shotgun.Shoot 12 shells in 1.5 sec. Good for squirrels.

Monday, 8:30 am, James Brown Arena:

Steppin’ out on the good foot… family and I will be there!

I strongly recomend that you speak to Hamp Dowling at the Eagle Gun Range here in Macon. He teaches a course for the famliy on home defense and gun safety. My wife and I attended and it was well worth the time spent. Bought her a 20 gauge pump Mossberg with a strobe light on it.
Also see that Mike Huckabee will be in Macon this Friday Nov 27 at Barnes & Noble in Riverside Crossing. He has a new book re: fair tax, etc.

a RedState gun thread! I can’t remember ever seeing one here.

Congrats Erick on weaponizing. I’ve done the same thing myself. I purchased a 9mm CZ 75b pistol a while back and just recently purchased a Mossberg Special Production 500 Tactical shotgun. I’m looking to add an AR ASAP before HR 6257 gets cranked up by the Marxists on January 20.

I’m quickly of the opinion that you cannot have enough weapons or ammo right now.

Good, I got someone’s attention.

This was just part of the diatribe I received Thanksgiving weekend from a close blood relative.

Said relative worked tirelessly for Obama the last month of the campaign in Michigan and it was rattled off like a talking point of many many things Sarah doesn’t know or do.

I was stunned.
