What do you guys pay for insurance? (Page 4/4) ray b APR 15, 03:47 PM quote Originally posted by Hank is Here: What weapon is your replica of? Where did you get it? My OD jeep as a Canadian passenger side mount for a M1919 however I can't bring myself of splurge for a demil'ed version. If there is a cheap couple hundred dollar plastic version that sound like more my speed, especially would be better explaining to others when driving that it isn't real. when I was a kid we had a 50 cal HMG BARREL AND FRAME just was a hunk of rusty steel to the adults but we had a browning 50 cal [no guts no way to fire] but a neat toy for playing war any way you could try to hunt one up they use to be common made by the millions ect just the box and barrel or fake it with a box bit and a pipe inside a big pipe with holes watch out for crazy cops if you make it tooo real looking ray b APR 15, 05:14 PM quote Originally posted by Cliff Pennock: Holy crap, your insurance prices are insane! I pay $140 per year for my Fiero. That's liability and theft. It's not insured for damages to my own car caused by myself. legal and medical bills add up here plus state run scams kick backs ect buying out crooked politicos costs a lot for the corp-rat's storm ins here is far more 10k a year maryjane APR 16, 08:46 AM Ray, when I was quite young, brother and I spent a week out in West Texas at one of my uncle's ranch. We had a grand time hunting jack rabbits every evening in the sorghum fields. When dad came to pick us up, Uncle slipped a very old double barrel 8ga shotgun into the truck behind the seat for me. So old and worn out, when ya shot it, it would break open if you weren't careful. He had pulled the firing pin out and that was our go to play gun for the neighborhood cowboy/indian shootem ups--no shells. One of the neighbors saw us one day and complained to dad about and he took it away. I sure wish I had that old shotgun today. Probably made in the early 1900s... if not before. 82-T/A [At Work] APR 16, 05:13 PM quote Originally posted by maryjane: Ray, when I was quite young, brother and I spent a week out in West Texas at one of my uncle's ranch.

Hahah... can you imagine? When I was a kid in the 1980s... going to elementary school. My friend and I would play "guns." I don't even know what we were doing, just pretending to shoot each other. We each had a rifle with a metal barrel and wood handle and all that. Honestly, it was a cheap toy that we bought at Toys R' Us, but it basically looked like a real gun. I'm convinced that the manufacturer probably would have made a real gun if it would have been the same cost, they just made it cheap. But we would run around his backyard in Richmond, VA, and make shooting noises, and then pretend to fall over dead. One night when I was staying over at his house for a sleepover, Pizza Hut, and a night of Atari 2600 gaming... we played cops and robbers late at night in his backyard and his neighborhood. We ran around the neighborhood with our guns, and a police officer was driving through the neighborhood and stopped us. He rolled his window down and asked to see the gun, and I remember pointing it at him as I handed it to him (barrel first), haha... I didn't know any better, I was probably 8 or 9. But he was super chill about it, and told us to just try to stay out of the street and have fun. I think back to when I was in high school. I went to high school in Northern Virginia. We had a DC Metro Subway station 1 mile from my home, so it was definitely suburbs. But there were kids with pickup trucks, and most of them had shotguns in the back window... and they'd just leave the guns in the car while they were in school. No one ever thought anything of it. It was COMPLETELY normal to us (this was the mid 1990s). Times really have changed. maryjane APR 16, 06:05 PM Yep, those were the days my friend.
