    I never said what guns cops or soldiers should own, just the ones I own.

    Yes, you can. In any civilized state anyway. You just have to undo any damage you did when you leave.

    So you bolt it to some studs, or set some lead plates inside.

    Or maybe because I enjoy meat that has not been raised in a cage all its life.

    Actually I would say the actual death of the animal makes me far less likely to waste the meat or take it for granted. Unlike so many that buy meat at the grocery store.

    I include the folks who bolt knives onto glocks and maglights onto ARs in this.

    I did not mean that it meant they were more dangerous, or assultish only that their owners were probably tools.

    I never met anyone who did the whole tacticool who was not a tool.

    It is no a guise, these revolvers and single shot pistols have no other use.

    A handgun is far easier to make followup shots or even shoot beyond 40 yards as opposed to a bow. I also bowhunt, they are not the best hunting tool by far. A gunshot will not scare away all game for a kilometer, turkeys can be called back to the same place you just shot at them for example.

    A shotgun loaded with birdshot is not a self defense weapon, unless you expect to be attacked by birds.

    While it will eventually stop someone, you do not want to stop them later you want to stop them now. For that task only slugs and buckshot will do.

    There is no round that will penetrate 12" of human and not penetrate a couple layers of drywall.

    As they lack full-auto fire they cannot be assault rifles.

    I would say they would be fine at such a task. Any shot to the head will get that job done.

    I hope that is not your SKS, that sort of tacti-cool should be reserved for AR and Glock owners.

    Yeah I noticed since the lever action is longer I pushed the trigger with a stick. Other than that nothing.

    I have taken many, and you mechanical action between shots is why I said single action. Pointing a gun at anything you do not want to shoot is FAIL right there. I don't care if you are pointing a howitzer or a pocket pistol.

    The most effective thing to do would be to do both.

    Which is what my parents did. Safes for the guns, ammo in another place and plenty of range time for the kids.

    Unlike you I have not yet learned to live from only water and air so things have to die for me to live.

    The risk is that the offspring of those stupid enough to give adults dangerous toys to children will now survive.

    Giving these magnets to kids is about as smart as giving them a loaded gun.

    More stupid non-gunowner talk right above me.

    You do realize they sell handguns for hunting right?
    Large frame revolvers are well suited to such a task. If the recoil is so great as to be a problem the shooter has selected a round to large for them to safely handle.

    Pump actions nor lever guns are any safer than a large single action revolver.

    Shotgun, with rounds only in the tube. A child young enough to not be taught firearm safety will not be able to cycle the pump.

    Same thing with a big semi-auto pistol. A 3 year old will never be able to rack the slide.

    I still suggest keeping them in a safe of course, and just keep the safe in the bedroom.

    This is why you bolt them into a concrete floor, better yet set the safe right into the concrete.

    A pistol is not the right tool for this job.

    You want an SKS or if you have more money a Mini-30. Coyotes are small enough that even cheap FMJs are quite effective.

    I own no guns designed to kill other people. One is designed to kill small game, another to kill turkeys and another for deer.

    What sort of guns are you buying?

    I compare them because they are both deadly in the wrong hands.

    They already do that, unless the user decides to turn it off.

    Any other ideas you want to share that are already in use?
