I will never own a co2 pistol. A long time ago some guy lost his hand due to a faulty co2 canister. He pulled the trigger and the co2 canister blew up ,blowing his hand off. Those guns should be outlawed for that reason.

So you think co2 guns should be outlawed because they are dangerous? Do you feel the same way about all guns?

Just the co2 powered ones. They are the same equivalent to an m80 firecracker when they explode.

those are pretty powerful air rifles MM. expensive too since you can buy a hi-point 9mm assault rifle for 297.00 at mean metals. since you need a FOID card for both things.

That hi-point is nice for the money. American made and relatively cheap to feed. I had a couple of hi-point pistols before but never the carbine. That air pistol is a refurb and was about $65 ($20 of that was for a red/green dot sight) It was a pretty good deal. My brother ordered 3 deals, so our total was high enough for free shipping and had a 10 percent off coupon. It worked out alright. I own a high point 9mm and its a good gun for the money. I looked at that website you posted and found some very expensive air rifles. they are fun to play with............

I still have my Daisy Red Ryder airgun like Ralphie had. Just the other night I shot the heck out of the old dish on the garage roof. I'm not a bad shot. I remember the pump pellet guns. They could do some real damage if you pumped them enough.

DD hope you live outside the city,otherwise you could get a ticket for discharging a firearm in city limits. Even bow and arrows and slingshots are prohibited from being shot in the city. If I didn't let the family talk and push me into buying this place,i would have bought our 1st home outside the city,which is what I wanted to begin with. Least living outside the city limits I could easily sit out on my back porch and target practice with my bb/pellet guns I had since childhood without the police bothering me for shooting at bottles and cans. Cannot do none of that living in the city.

there are many drawbacks to living in the city. there are many advantages also like water service, sewage and wondering where you will get rid of your garbage. I have lived in the backwoods early in my life. I can honestly say I love it. like you stated rocket...I could shot my gun right outside my back door without fear of hitting anyone but an occasional tree lol.

Is south Streator now annexed in the city? Cause spd has been patrolling all of that area for awhile now. If not,then the only place they should be patrolling is vactor and the water plant only and not residential neighborhoods.

I would think the residents of south Streator appreciate the presence of the police cars driving around.

They definitely have some high end guns. Gamo has had a good name for a long time now for nice stuff in a moderate price range. They have some great deals on some refurbs online as well. So is the 9mm a pistol or the carbine? I remember a few years ago the carbine could be had for a reasonable price. We have 2 Gamos, a CFX and a lady hunter. Both are serious players for a moderate price. The CFX scared the heck out of me the first time I shot it, that thing is LOUD.

I found an old cap gun in the yard, after the tornado, and it was pre orange tip.
