We use shotguns. OK, smart ass answer. [laugh] I shoot over and under Winchester 101s. Most of my friends use pumps. Mostly Remington 870s in 20 gauge.

I live in the DFW area as do others, some live in Austin and San Antonio. My friend's family ranch is north of Brownwood (in Brown County) near Cross Plains.

The hunting can be iffy. The local birds are shot or disappear in the first day or two of the season. Mostly the dumb ones get shot, the smart ones (or lucky ones!) fly away. Having a few cold fronts later in September and October can drive down some northern birds. The season ends around mid-October. It's nice then because it's not 100 degrees!

You'll love Austin! Lived there all during the 70s. Awesome town and great roads. [thumbsup] [Dolph]
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

If anyone is considering setting up an NFA trust and buying NFA toys, the law may change very soon....

Just saw an Executive Order on gun trusts but not sure of the details. 
This isn't a dress rehearsal for life - this is it!

From what I read, that doesn't have to do with the ability to acquire NFA toys.  It just means you now have to do an individual background check, even if the toy (NFA or not) is going under the trust.

The part I am uncertain on is the reimportation of military arms.  However, post-'86 full autos weren't eligible for ownership by individuals or trusts that were not Class III dealers, anyway.  So for Jim and Joe Bob and their family trust, this doesn't appear to change anything.

Now, if you're a Class III/NFA dealer, the new prohibition on reimportation sucks, because a big source of toys just dried up.

Let;s not get too deep into gun law...

Gotcha.  ;)

So... whenever I get around to it, I am going to be assembling my new .300AAC Blackout upper.  Should I go through the paperwork and drop the thousand or so dollars to get a can for it?  Would allow me to play with both subsonic and supersonic rounds, though I don't see much point in the subsonic stuff.  I'm not one of those "tacti-cool" addicts, and I don't anticipate doing covert CQB... ever.  But for plinking it might be nice to have something quiet.  I love the occasional big "boom" as much as the next guy, but sometimes I wanna put holes in paper and not be uber-disruptive of my surroundings.  When I wanna make noise, I have the .44 mag, or the .52 muzzleloader, or the 12-gauge.  [evil]

If I had a can on the AR, I suppose I'd start keeping it bedside at night for home defense.  It'd be nice to not go deaf on the extremely remote chance I had to use it.

Not once you start making them.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

The cans themselves runs 650+ last I checked.  It's the same can as a .308 (same projectile).  Then you gotta pay for the $200 tax stamp plus whatever other fees are involved in completing the transfer.

Gemtech HVT .308 is $760... plus transfer tax, shipping, and dealer fees.

The AAC Cyclone of $750.

YHM Phantom is $705 (plus above).

There are two no-name units that bottom out at $650 on ImpactGuns.  So even with one of those, you're up to $850 including the stamp, then there's shipping, plus dealer xfer fee.

And as with anything, you can easily go up in the price range.  $1500 is not unheard of.

Knowing me, I wouldn't be satisfied with a bottom-of-the-barrel unit... I'm going to want reasonable levels of reliability, longevity, and quietness.  I'd probably end up right at or a little over a grand.

This is what I am starting to think.

Plus I like being courteous to our neighbors.  We live in very peaceful countryside, and I'd like to keep rude intrusions on that to a minimum.

I'm not a fan of a rifle for "home defense."  Put a suppressor on a shotgun and then we can talk.
