maybe soon you can only use Marsh Mellows for Bullets in California ?

Yea,I am interested in that as well....we call em "Plugs",I use a common pencil,it only allows two to be held in the mag,and one in the barrel....for hunting...I dont know about home?My Gov. Shotgun had an extenda tube which held 8....but thats different

MIGHT get a 4-10 as well; still being made...? Was my very first gun for small game(s); later gave gun to my nephew.
 

Yep,I still have my first as well....for my 6 th b-day!!The ammo is dang expensive though.Again....I would prefer something with "more chances",if it were my life depending on it.....why bring a small stick to even a knife fight?
 

.410s are still made buddy.

I have a box of 00 buck on a shelf next to my door. I keep a 12 gauge pump next to my door along with a .22 rifle. I have them there for when I see a coyote or fox. They are not used for home defense unless I need to. My home defence gun is on my night stand.
 

Hi Arno,
Lets see..for the record I don't have any affiliation with liberal conservative etc..but I am progressive and see nothing admirable in killing.
I respect everyone's right to choose a path and hope the choice is made for healthy reasons....Oh by the way I drive a Subaru Outback and use a truck when necessary..
LOL! But redneck I am not..
Have a good day!

I do not kill for fun, I kill for the food. There is nothing healthier than organic game meat. I have 3 trucks at the moment and 2 are broken down in my yard so I must be a redneck.
 

VETS have DIFFERENT purpose; we were discussing HOME DEFENSE.

When someone is coming at you things are alot diffrent, adrenaline kicks in and you do what you have to if you want to live. I believe that is the point he was trying to make.

With all due respect ,you said it not me!
 

I believe the direction of this Proposed law and the information it pretends to offer has more to do with gun control than any real lead poisoning problem. It is a hyped up story that tries to bother uninformed people into agreeing that something has to happen, 'For The Kids", oops they used birds in this one didn't they?

This propaganda is being picked up by all of the progressives in all of the states now. All you have to do is google "eagles die of lead poisoning". These control freaks are getting out of control. Pun intended. They are truly looney.

It looks like there is a consensus that if you can't take out the Second Amendment you can try to take the Ammunition. For the Children, or whatever buzzword works best for them.
 

No lead shot has been an issue for years among conservationist. It can be bad news.

Shot guns come plugged for 3 rounds take the plug out and it holds 5. Same with a pump or semi auto. Typical sporting shot gun comes plugged for 3 shells. We are not allowed to have the plugs out.

Steel shot on federal birds or migratory birds only. I doubt a raptor is going to die eating a quail or dove or rabbit that had been grazed with buck shot or a fish with a bullet weight off a texas rig. But you get millions of duck hunters firing 3 rounds at every duck that goes by and you get the picture. I see poisons such as de- con kill raptors who eat mice that have ingested it and gone to water to satisfy the thirst then the raptor is at the water source doing the same thing then dead. Sad but it is way better than it used to be when they allowed DDT in the food chain.

On eating wild game.

I get so tired of eating everything I kill.

You have to work hard and filll your freezers with Venison.Dove,Quails,Pheasant,rabbit. Fresh fish like crappie and then the salt water trips with friends for the grouper. Now you have to unthaw each meal and each item has its own recipes. It is not like chicken you know where you can just cook the heck out of it. Sigggh. Lot of work and you end up becoming a chef of sorts blending in herbs and fresh vegetables and you spend so much on licenses.- As I get older I am starting to buy a half or quarter of an Angus. This food chain thing is bigger than we think :laughing7:

Poisen is a huge problem and one of the most inhumane things a person can use on any animal. ..
 

I do not want to be a fly in the ointment, but it appears that the ddt scare may have just been a scare to control people. I could post a lot of links but I will just put up this one for now? A small excerpt follows.
Facts versus fears - DDT

"I[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif]n 1962 Rachel Carson’s lyrical yet scientifically flawed book Silent Spring was released. The book argued eloquently but erroneously that pesticides, and especially DDT, were poisoning both wildlife and the environment and also endangering human health. The emotional public reaction to Silent Spring launched the modern environmental movement.[SUP]4[/SUP] DDT became the prime target of the growing anti-chemical and anti-pesticide movements during the 1960s. Reasoned scientific discussion and sound data on the favorable human health effects of DDT were brushed aside by environmental alarmists who discounted DDT’s enormous benefits to world health with two allegations: (1) DDT was a carcinogen, and (2) it endangered the environment, particularly for certain birds.[/FONT]"
