I plan to own one though, and if not, I'll just get a pellet gun (Which i also plan to get for pest control).
Modern day pests are not ball shaped with big eyes, furry with a long tail, and often found in petshops...although it you have those pellet guns will do fine. Within city limits a higher caliber air gun might be whats needed
Several years ago I've heard of people shooting field mice with .45ACPs...you can imagine how cheap ammo was back then. :green:
Sigman, you live in bear country, I'd imagine you'll need something that will shoot something the size of a wine cork nowadays as bears move lower and lower south to find food.
Technology for guns have stayed relatively the same after the conversion from flintlock to percussion...and the only variances I can see are different propellant compositions.
Lights on the other hand changed alot, compared to the increase in price of ammunition batteries have remained relative unchanged...except for the adjustment in inflation.
I own only flashlights at this point, but I hope to acquire some models in firearms in the future. I'm not against the right to bear arms, but I'm against the use of lethal force when less-lethal alternatives can be considered. Of course, its hard to reason with a pig scurrying about in the brush and threatening to charge... :devil:
Ammunition costs have increased alot since 20 years ago...or more. I remember when 22LRs are around $0.01/shot, now its what? a nickel? thats a huge leap! CR123As have been $1.50 since I first bought one online in 2006...its still $1.50 today.
EDIT: 03302011: I now possess 3 rifles, a pistol, and getting a shotgun soon
7.65x53, 7.92x57, 40SW....
