It has so little power that Greg tried to shoot a sick rat that was literally laying at his feet and it couldn't penetrate the rats hide. He ended up having to put the gun down and used a large rock to kill the rat. LOL You'd be safer throwing the gun itself than trying to shoot anything with it.

Oh and I have my dads old 20 gauge that has no barrel on it. LOL
We have an arsenal here too Tink. We reload our own shells including some rifle. I have a very small pearl handled Dillinger that shoots 22's and also a S&W snub-nose 38.

I'm a darn good shot too! If I do say so myself. Just call me Annie Oakley.

Janet I was trying to hit a piune cone on a tree one time. I had a 410 and couldn't do it. They told me to just hit the tree and I couldn't even do that. You are going to have to teach me. Wish I could just pop over one Saturday for lessons.

You made a good target though, right?

I wish you could too, I would love to teach you. I bet your son-in-law could teach you too. So what's this Angie is talking about?????? Were you a target of some sort?

Mom was shot with a bb gun once because my uncle used her for a shield thinking my "dad" wouldn't shoot, but he did. He was a jerk...

Yeah, it was right in the middle of her stomach. Poor mom. At least he is out of her life now and she's a million times better because of it! I'm so proud of her.

He must have been a jerk to have done that to your Mom.

I'm glad she no longer has to deal with someone like that.
