thanks Ian. So, does it say anything about hunting? or not?
Hunting is hunting. Doesn't matter what weapon you use.
okay, but i don't get it then, about hunting because if you own a handgun and keep it in your house, don't you think you'd go get that if you heard a robber in your house?
I have a bow and arrows with broadheads on them. Does that mean if I hear someone break in, I'm going to grab it with the arrow drawn back waiting for the kill? No. Handguns are used in western states for hunting. Some just like the challenge of using that instead of a conventional rifle or shotgun.
Some animals you can only use a handgun for in certain states.
yeah like shooting at squirrels from your porch.
Hahaha! These are the areas where people don't lock their doors, and interestingly, where crazy rapists/serial killers run to escape the law. This country is so crazy.
Or you can be like a certain brother I know and shoot deer out your window. LOL!!
You are right. I think certain birds out west you can only shoot with a handgun.
its considered unsportsmanlike and/or unfair to use a rifle
All the brothers who've hunted that I've known have either used bows or rifles. I can't see someone hunting with a handgun - it seems like that person is stretching to cause a little controversy.
oh, he definatly is. he's a good friend of austin's that lives about 3 hours away, and every.single.time he comes to visit, he starts up some kind of debate with me, because we have differing opinions about everything. he's so annoying like that.
My rationale for saying a hand gun in the house is inappropriate for self defense is the fact that bethel asked bro/sis to leave because they were doing tae bo 'to learn self-defense' for living in brooklyn. They said it was unacceptable to practice violence like that. A simple ladies' self defense class is one thing, as is a home security system, but practicing karate, or keeping a gun, is more overt.
Unless the person is a hunter who travels to areas where handguns can be used, I don't see the need to have one around here. I can see hunters in more woodsy areas keeping them in case a bear or another large animal attacks at close proximity.
Maybe you should read this guy the scripture about not debating god's word - it's one thing to talk about scriptural points to flex your mind muscles and encourage, but he's clearly upsetting you just for the sake of upsetting you.
yea, exactly. and he was definatly just trying to upset me because he starts out by saying..."so what would you say if Austin wanted to get a handgun".
so gay.
What a jerk! Smack him for acting like a 14 year old.
Exactly... in fact a brother from a Congregation in MA went hunting with his PO and he mentioned that you cant really justify owning a hand gun for hunting. If you did own one it would be questioned...
Ultimately this is a conscience matter. If you keep the handgun locked up with the rest of your shotguns and such in a gun cabinet, then I could justify it. If you are leaving it under your mattress or in a dresser, then that's questionable.
