Is this normal?

Nothing obviously.

I tried the biting fabric thing -- as hard as I could. Did nothing for me.

If you want to simultaneously feel a great adrenaline rush and a sense of relaxation, fire off a few of these. The guys with the little hulls are bird-shot/target-rounds. The guys with the big hulls? -- you have to be a bit more ready for.

I wanna shoot a gun

Seconded. In fact, I think I'm going to make going to a shooting range a top method of coping with tilt this summer in Vegas during the WSOP.

You've gotta get licenses and other things like that. And from what I hear, if you have one, you can bring people like me along with you and I can also shoot guns.

[ProfessorNumber]

Shooting guns is definitely a great time. As far as licenses go, each state varies. Given that I live in one of the most draconian states -- as far as gun laws are concerned -- I have to carry a license in order to be in possession of a firearm.

I must say, there is something 'cathartically' beautiful about dumping half of a 30 round magazine full of those guys on the far right.




This gives me an idea for a new thread...

Maybe it's just the fact that i've been shooting since I was like 12, but I really don't think shooting guns as a stress reliever or as a way to subtly sound cool is that big of a deal.

Shooting a gun is an experience like owning/driving a car. Everyone should do it once (or a few times) as a fun experience, but as a regular activity if you aren't in law enforcement or the military, and actually need to do it, it's pretty monotonous and ammo is fucking expensive.

Just my two cents, but much more valuable to get a gym membership or a heavy bag and take our your stress that way.

IIRC, Ironic Mustache owns several hundred guns.

If I try and play it off like I wasn't trying to be subtly cool, will that make me even cooler? Undoubtedly, the children of celebrities who get to drive Ferrari's, Lamborghini's, and high-dollar Mercedes on a daily basis have probably grown accustomed to such experiences. Maybe it's just the fact that the initial novelty hasn't worn off yet, but I still get a kick out of racking the slide on a pump shotgun. For the very reason that it's not something you can do on a daily basis, I get more out of it. I have a gym membership which I use on a daily basis (and have great abs to go along with it). I have a heavy bag (albeit, not currently in working order). I have half a box of nicotine gum that I can always chew. These are all okay things -- but if you want to feel something new, go shoot a gun. Once you've shot that gun, go shoot a different one.

Cost is relative; I had friends who would blow $100 at the bar in a single night -- almost every weekend. That doesn't necessarily make the cost of ammo lower, but relatively speaking, there are a lot worse things you could do than waste $0.30 on a 7.62x39 round, or $0.18 on a 9mm round.

You got it.

[SittinOnDubsWGW]

I enjoy shooting handguns and rifles, but shooting shotguns actually bores the hell outta me. However, I am more apt to carry a shotgun at work over a rifle.

I shoot roughly 10-15 times a year. I should probably shoot more.

Whenever I see a girl wearing sunglasses driving a car, I instantly think of the most intense way I could kill them using the vehicle I'm in. Any girl in any car, as long as they're wearing sunglasses...something about how bitchy they all look (and they all do) really gets to me.

Edit: Guns are awesome and fun as hell, as well as a great stress release. I want to shoot a gun this instant.

You sound like you have issues my friend.

[Orgazmo]

Ya dude, that's pretty fucked up. It may be time to see a therapist.

Watch Deathproof if you haven't already.

I went through about a mouth guard every 2 weeks boxing.

When I get annoyed I tend to start touching my face.
