I own a gun and have decided to get rid of it
I own a pump action shot gun, I bought for "home defense" six years ago. It sits under my bed, unloaded and with the barrel disconnected, because really, what the **** do I have a gun for? I keep a bottle of mace in my nightstand.
Question being, how does one get rid of a gun? I want it destroyed.

Be sure to put a sign outside your house that it is a gun free zone.

Do you know what they call people who keep disassembled guns under their beds and mace in the nightstand?
"Victims."
Do you know who they call?
Next of kin.

Sign up here, send me a PM. I'll "destroy" that scary ol' pump shotgun.
I promise.

Those morons are really being stupid now. They don't look at the fact that the kid was a psycho. They look at the fact that him having Mental issues and claiming that to have nothing to do with what he did. It is the guns, NRA, and all the republicans fault. God they are so stupid...

No need to destroy the gun DUmmy, it may be valuable. You can sell it to anyone you want in most places--but be sure to check local laws first. And as for what to do with the windfall, well, here you go DUmmy:
Gifts to the United States Government
How do I make a contribution to the U.S. government?
Citizens who wish to make a general donation to the U.S. government may send contributions to a specific account called "Gifts to the United States." This account was established in 1843 to accept gifts, such as bequests, from individuals wishing to express their patriotism to the United States. Money deposited into this account is for general use by the federal government and can be available for budget needs. These contributions are considered an unconditional gift to the government. Financial gifts can be made by check or money order payable to the United States Treasury and mailed to the address below.
Gifts to the United States
U.S. Department of the Treasury
Credit Accounting Branch
3700 East-West Highway, Room 622D
Hyattsville, MD 20782
Any tax-related questions regarding these contributions should be directed to the Internal Revenue Service at (800) 829-1040.

I gather by that statement, you want it removed from circulation, not just out of your ownership.
Here's an idea. You have a hammer? :hammer:

Easy!
1.Just plug the end with mud.
2.Carefully aim at a safe target and pull trigger.
Remember DUmmie safety first, be sure of your target and what's beyond.

OK. Here is the easy way to do it. Load it, put the barrel in your mouth and pull the trigger. All your problems will be solved and the weapon more than likely will sit in a police station evidence room for years before being destroyed.
Win-win dummie!
-
Joe. If you are reading this, I DON'T BELIEVE YOU OWN A GUN. Please post a photo of your self with your gun, not an old photo...take a new one proving you have a gun.
I challenge you because I think you are AFRAID of guns.
You've never been in a gun store. you've never fired a gun.
I'm calling you a liar.
Worse than that: I'm calling you a hypocrite.
Photo evidence or it didn't happen.

DUmbass. I keep my .45 unsnapped, round up the chamber, full mag, and an additional mag right next to it on my bedside table. It would behoove the criminal to break into your house first.
I keep a bottle of mace in my nightstand.
Hmm, which has a greater range, your mace? Or the criminal's "Gat" AKA Tec-9? Now you have a pissed off criminal in your house with you. DUmbass. In both scenarios, mine and yours, a coroner will be involved. The difference is, my ass won't be on the gurney.

Wonder if you realizes that, especially if sprays mace indoors at close range he's going to end up getting a dose too. And if the person he's spraying is on drugs or in a state of deep psychosis won't be effected by it. But what the hell? None of these assholes think providing mental health care (SOMEBODY) had to know this kid had issues. Hell, his classmates said they weren't surprised. While anyone can snap for any number of reasons, almost every time one of these thing happen there's a history of mental problems, serious problems.
The proof that the left cares nothing for the mentally ill is that the ACLU and other "rights" groups just successfully prevented CT from enacting legislation that would compel certain people to seek mental health treatment. But, according to the left, it's better people are walking around in pain and misery than get the help that would help them live a better, more fulfilled life.

Dear Joe, I understand how you feel.
4 years ago when we had some horrid crimes within 2 blocks of the house my kids bought me a Rottweiler puppy.
These crimes stopped when a homeowner killed the twerps and for 4 years since this shit machine has eaten me out of house and home. Food and Vet expense through the roof.
The mangy mutt insists on going everywhere with me, and there has been a time or two I mistakenly thought someone was going to steal my car but once the dog got in the window the kids just waved at him and walked away, Must have been dog lovers they just wanted to see the Dog.
There have been some false alarms, idiot dog would start barking at night and we would find , It must have been the cats that pushed the screens out of the open windows. Stupid Dog.
Talk about an idiot dog, when the grandkids play in the yard and a stranger would come up to them all friendly patting them on the head and asking their names, this 120 pound dog would run over and get between the kids and the stranger, this happend twice in one summer and the dog scared these nice old men so bad we never saw them again.
So now that things have been quiet for a few years I see no reason to keep a worthless shit machine. If I cannot sell him he goes to the pound.
No sense getting Paranoid Joe, a can of Bear spray on the dresser is enough. Why bother with a dog or gun, both will just get you sued perhaps. If you hear your wife scream while in the shower, calmly explain to the Man or Men that he/ they are in the wrong house.

That's funny, I'm researching my next pistol buy. I have wanted a Walther P38 for a long time. Local gun shop has one but the grip is a bit too fat for my likes. May still get it just for the collection. Man I was disappointed.

Have you ever checked Samco? I'm happy with the Mausers I've bought from them and I see that they have used P38s now.

7. How does one ensure they are destroyed?
I'm inheriting some weapons from my father, who passed this week. The heirloom hunting rifles I will keep and pass on to my son. They will be kept in a locked gun cabinet, in a locked room. There will be no ammunition in the house. I don't know if my father owns anything semi-automatic or repeating, but if he did, they have fired their last shot. I would prefer to watch them be destroyed.
::)
Your own father's collection, he's barely in the grave, and you want to destroy his collection? You are scum, and do not deserve this inheritance. I hope your father haunts you in scary ways.

I found a long time ago that if you do something completely off the wall, bad guys leave. Acting like Thor would qualify.
If that's your theory, please stick with it.
I find these stories comforting, all these liberals getting rid of guns.

That ain't the half of it, Warpy is a 60-ish (IIRC) woman, I believe the one who was a nurse before being kicked out for drug shortages/theft and other problems, whose main job seems to have been as a Johnson inspector...not exactly the picture of an intimidating adversary, one-hand sledge (For which she'd undoubtedly need both anyway) or no.

Correct about DUmmy Warpy. She's the DUmmy who appears to be the twin sister of President von Hindenberg. After her narrow escape from narcotics charges in the blue hellhole of New England, she exiled herself, I believe, to the wilds of New Mexico.
The DUmp dick inspector, who by her own account has checked out over ten thousand of them, is DUmmy Horse with no Brain. She mops floors in a hospital, and lives in a dusty, crappy trailer park in east Texas with her slutty daughter. She recently started a storyline about a complete inside and out remodel on an imaginary house. It was to include a new kitchen, new roof, new bathroom, new stone exterior, etc., for under thirty thousand dollars.

Well now there are many things one can do with used 10x50 foot trailers. To my surprise I saw them in the south west.
Head on out and look for mobile homes stripped of everything, may cost you $3000 bucks to get two hauled to your site. If you have a function mobile home just place them at each end to make a U form.
Inside the U one can put in a pool or garden, go hog wild with Ideas. The additions to the home need a few walls knocked out for entrances to the new unites but that won't cost but $300 each.
The ones I saw were fantastic, a little imagination and what have you and and the home is triple in size, for when it comes to $30.000 just nickles and dimes.
Don't like the kitchen, paint the sucker, put down Linoleum in the the kitchen and bathroom, buy new furniture and drapes. ------Spend some of that money on a hot tub for the inside of the U. Screw the outside, put your money into what you will enjoy inside the home.
I have seen 3 homes built like this in the South West, are memorable.

I have a shotgun for the same reason I have a fire extinguisher and learned CPR....hoping I never have to use it, but it's available should I ever (God forbid) need it.

False security when one gets anything yet does not practice with it for a long time.
When was the last time you checked on the fire extinguisher to make sure it was still pressurized ??? Do you update your CPR every year. So much changes from year to year, much of the 10 year old classes have been changed in CPR, new and better ways to do it. Have you had your protective Hep. shots lately ??? Can you run a defibrillator, if so, what has changed in the last few years or will change next year ????
I have carried a Tazer since '84' I change the battery every year and transfer it from purse to purse but I forget I have it, not allot of good to me but a false security of some sort. Much like holding a fire drill for the family just once and in 5 years expecting the kids to remember how to get out and where to meet up.
Security means practice, being aware of your surroundings and knowing your tools inside and out. Speaking of tools, have you checked on the Ammo for your shot gun ????? Chemical changes do take place with age, not a good idea to keep 20-30 year old ammo around.
-
Check the fire extinguisher every day.
I work in the medical industry, so I am required to up my CPR every year.
I used to teach FA/CPR/AED for the Red Cross, and am a trained and licensed paramedic (PM me if you want to check this out in the Texas database), so not oly do I know how to use an AED, but a full blown cardiac monitor/defibrillator. There's one not 20 feet from me at work. Oh, and I have all my shots.
I buy new ammo every year during bird season as my father did when I was growing up. It's stored indoors.
What about you, vesta? Are you up to date on all of that stuff?
If people aren't trained in First Aid or CPR or both, might I suggest you get trained. Contact your local Red Cross, American Heart, or National Safety Council. End of pitch.
-
I understand that the shooter drove to the school. How many DUers are getting rid of their cars?
-
I have carried a Tazer since '84'
I doubt it, vesta. The Taser brand electric shock device was first sold in 1993. I think you're talking about a stun gun instead.
I change the battery every year and transfer it from purse to purse but I forget I have it, not allot of good to me but a false security of some sort.
If you are carrying a 28 year old stun gun in your purse, don't count on it. Even at its best, it only works at contact distance. Deploying a stun gun from a purse and using one while grappling or being choked would take skill, practice, and a ton of luck.
Chemical changes do take place with age, not a good idea to keep 20-30 year old ammo around.
And you are carrying a 28 year old stun gun in your purse. Think about it.
-

Absolutely wrong. Twenty to thirty years is nothing.
Powder and primers pretty much last forever under normal storage conditions.
I have a can of Red Dot that I bought in the early 80s, and wouldn't hesitate to use it today.
The only change with age that can be a problem is really old shotgun ammunition that used cardboard tubes.
They can absorb moisture and swell to where they won't chamber smoothly.
-
Yep, Mil-surp WWII ammo is still sold and used today. 70 years and still going strong.

I have some Greek 8mm Mauser ammo that came out of the factory in 1938 that's as clean and accurate as the day it was loaded...same for the 1939 German 8mm I have

Unfortunately it is very corrosive and most used Mercury in the primers.

My dad had a bunch of it for plinking in his Mauser 98 that had been rebarreled to .30-06. Man, was that a bitch to clean after shooting that shit! Thankfully, he didn't have that much, and we shot it all up a loooooong time ago.
