Target shooting/self defense gun?

Colt66

Can't be a pistol. The gun and the ammo need to be very cheap. I thought about a .22 but that might be to small for self defense.

Answer
They do not make one gun that 'Does It All'. If they did, my wife would have bought me one years ago and sold all the other dozens in the safe.

Your 'target gun' should never be your 'Home Defense Gun'.

A 22 is the perfect gun for a new shooter. The ammo is inexpensive, 22 is welcome to be fired at any indoor and outdoor range, the noise is low, zero recoil - it is the best firearm to learn marksmanship on.

For home defense - the 22 is just a small, tiny, little, microscopic notch higher than a butter knife. If you want an inexpensive firearm for Home Defense that is easy to learn, easy to shoot, and guaranteed to do the job - you want a 12ga pump shotgun. The sound of a fresh round being racked into a 12ga pump chamber is the International Sound of a #10 can of whoop @ss being opened. Nice thing about a 12ga - you can practice with light loads and learn just as much about the gun as if you were firing heavy 00 buck. 12ga ammo is inexpensive. In a survival situation a 12ga can put food on the table with birds (#8 shot) bunnies (#4 shot) and deer (00 Buck). Just buy a few boxes of each when they go on sale. Best of all - you can buy a nice new pump for under $300. Sweet. All that - and - most all states have no problems with shotgun ownership. You can even take it into Canada - they are that poitically correct.

I live in Alaska and I have a safe full of sweet pistols (45's, 9mm, 380, etc atc) and tactical SBR's (short barrel rifles) with suppressors installed. But the gun I would grab in case of emergency is the 12ga that is always in the front of the safe. Does not matter what the emergency is - I have ammo on the stock and a side carrier for 'all ocassions'. Moose stomping my neighbors kid - no problem - sabot slugs. Moose stomping my neighbors dog - no problem - bean bag. Neighbors dog eating my son - #8 shot fired at the ground for bounce effect on the dog, and, eliminte collateral damage to my kid. Got it covered. Guy stealing my truck - let him have it - that is what insurance is for. Big bad guy trying to kick in front or back door - 00 Buck - Repeat as necessary to remove irratation.

That 12ga goes everywhere I go. Seriously. Things are extremly versitile. Goes with me berry picking, hunting, fishing, or when on the trap line. When I travel to a different town or city - I pack the 12ga - because if I happen to stumble into anyone who wants to take me hunting for anything - with a 12 ga you can actually hunt practically anything from birds to bears, bunnies to deer.

Once you get used to a standard 12ga pump with an 18" barrel - you'll wonder how you ever lived without it. Best to buy yours with a nice vent rib barrel for upland birds - then buy the standard no frills home defense 18" barrel to go with it. When you buy a 'Home Defense' pump with the 18" barrel it's usually an arm and a leg to get the nicer barrel if you have need of it.

I have a Martha Stewart outdoor patio table umbrella that needs replaced. Any suggestions where to go?

Answer
You can go to a number of stores, like Target,
(as suggested) and K-mart, which carries that
brand, and Harbor Freight Tools just had them
(and I believe, still do) on sale, in different
sizes and styles. (six foot, or nine foot,etc.)

What kills little insects from plants & flowers?

outdoor tables at target image

This Babe

Few months ago I bought all this seeds to start my little garden. Everything was going good, i always check them & water them, feed them. So the plants where getting big, & I bought more pots ,now there are lots of plants & sunflowers. I have a problem, I own 2 large labradors & they love to digg everything. So I kind of lost few plants cuz they dug them out and broke them. So I decided to build a big 4 feet tall table. So they wont reach my plants. After I builded my table everything was good till'
One day I was watering them & this huge cockroach came out a pot & I got scared & then I wondered & thought he probrably just passed by or fell off the roof, then like 5 days later this little wood color frog jumped out a pot & I was like " how did this little quarter size frog get up here?". So now I'm getting grossed out because I planted few vegetables, fruits. That I will be eating in the future but I don't want to put nothing on my mouth that I know little creatures were touching & wondering on. So if anyone that know about some type of liquid or anything that scares little insects, frogs, cockroaches away from my plants & it doesnt kill the plant, please share it with me I will be more thankful if you did. Just type the name on the bottom & I'll search it from there. Thank you. God Bless.

You can pick up a basic garden insecticide from a hardware store, like lowe's or home depot, and even places like walmart and target have them. If you want to try a more natural approach you wash your plants twice a day by tilting your pot over, so anything on it will fall off, for a week. That is not usually enough for outdoor gardens though so you can mix 1 Liter of water with 1 tblsp of soap and 1 tsp of oil and put it into a spray bottle. Spray it twice a day for 10 days and be sure to rinse the plant off after. The mixture will cause insects to desiccate and the oil will clog their spiracles and cause asphyxiation in the pests.

Store bough insecticides are the most reliable, but the water-soap-oil mix can sometimes be all you need, and will expose your food to less residues.

Inexpensive ways to decorate my outdoor patio please?

Q. I live in a second floor apartment and don't spend much time outside on my patio, but I would love for it to look half way decent, what would you suggest for a working girl with a budget? Plant recommendations that ward off bees, wasps and bugs in general would be a plus! Thank you and happy Summer time to you!

Answer
You can get a bistro set - table and two chairs for around $100 at most stores or online. You can also get a gas grill for around $100 if that's something you would use. Plants look nice. You can buy flower pots pre-planted at home improvement stores or target/wal-mart. I am working on the same thing for my lonely patio.

how much dose it cost to build a outdoor gun range?

Butch

i am looking into building a outdoor gun range i am going to be doing all the work i just want to know how much materials would cost an aroundabout and i already have a 5 acre property with building on it
i am planning on doing it for a business

but if i wanted to do it for myself i can shoot on my property all i want ?

Answer
One for yourself or a potential public one?



For pretty much the price of renting a backhoe you can make one for yourself. You don't need a fancy shooting station, just a picnic table or two, maybe a chair. You can set up various targets, wooden frames to hang paper ones, or just use steel reactive ones



If you're planning on letting outsiders in, charging admission or memberships, your insurance will probably be your biggest expense. You could get a small business loan for the initial set-up expenses, assuming your area is zoned for it.
