I got rid of all my guns so I wouldn't accidentally shoot myself and instead, I opted for some British blunt end knives if things get rough.
You just can't be too careful nowadays, and I am also trying to beat the rush of people disarming themselves so we can get this "perfect progressive world" thing started, anybody need a Coke?

How does a 30-06 kick compared to a 30-30? I've shot a 30 before and it felt similar to a 20ga with #4 in it although the rifle had a bit sharper recoil to it. Biggest gun I ever shot was a 10ga double barreled goose gun. Dumba*s friend of mine showed i to me when I was 16. It was his grandpa's and he gave us permission to go shoot it a bit. Well, prick never told me the correct way to unload each barrel one at a tine, so I unloaded them both at once. Da*n that hurt!! Didn't help the fact that it was pre-planned and it was loaded with buckshot!! Knocked me to the ground and dislocated my shoulder. Never again.......lol. You should a seen what was left of that 55gal drum!!
The felt recoil for same weight bullets, say 150gr is about the same. The lever guns with the lighter weight and straight stock design makes felt recoil worse. 170gr slugs in 30-30 is probably the most popular. if you can shoot a 30-30 you can handle a 30.06 just fine.

Nice, I am currently on the fence about what .45 I want to get. This is on the short list right now.

My favorite at the moment is my Ruger GP100 .357. Shoots straight and is heavy enough to absorb a lot of the recoil. I like my Mossberg, too. Lots of fun and accurate as hell. Right now, I'm waiting for cataract surgery so nobody's safe! Stay away from the range when I'm around...

That's exactly the .357 I wanna get. 4" barrel with the rubber grips. Damn that's a nice gun.
