Can you have too much gun?

Yes & no...

My first high powered rifle was/is my .300 Winchester Magnum... There was just something about that gun that I had to have. The first time I shot it, the scope bit me right between the eyes, and I was mesmerized by the shock wave that sent a wave across the field grass in front of me... I snugged up tighter and prepared myself better and for my second shot, the scope bit me right between the eyes again as I was sitting and rolled me over on my back so I was looking up at the sky after the shot... The trickle of blood running down both sides of my nose only solidified the "Magnum" mystique in my mind and I was filled with the covetous lust for this to be my favorite rifle ever...

However as a stupid kid in my youth, I ran short of money and ended up selling the "monster gun" for cash and away went my spirit with it... About a year later with my finances looking up, I went back into the gun shop and low and behold, there it was... The thunder stick of the God's was back on the shelf, I double checked the serial number and sure enough it was truly the same gun. The guy at the gun shop said that the guy who had bought it, brought it back because it was "too much gun" for him.

I gladly laid down the cash and bought back my Magnum monster and bought it for full price for the second time. (to which I don't think I got half price for it in cash when I sold it for money in a hurry) That year I went out and got my first Deer ever with that rifle.

I was hunting up in NH and stalked up on a Buck with a couple Does. The buck stopped at about 75 yards out behind an 8" in diameter Oak tree to look back at me. I told myself to try and shave just behind the tree and try for a lung shot.
I must have drifted back to my favorite sweet spot; a heart shot, and after my recoil flinch I opened my eyes to see the deer up in the air flying back away from me. It then jumped up and bolted for about 75 yards where it dropped dead without even a twitch left in it.

When my scenario investigation was complete (as for my first Deer I wanted to know everything about what and how it transpired) I found that my bullet had gone directly thru the center of the Oak tree literally springing the tree open thru the center, it entered in the deers left shoulder shattering the shoulder bone, taking out 4 ribs, cleaning to top (atrium cavities) of the heart clean off, and lodged in the right shoulder breaking it. The blood trail of the entry wound was a 2' wide swath of red thru the forest for an easy walk of 75 yards to where the Deer lay motionless and stone dead.

Thus solidifying my favorite rifle ever legend/lore, and is what I am carrying now as I have been Bear hunting here in Massachusetts. Since that time I have retired my Magnum monster to the lofty position of Bear, Moose, and Elk gun. I have decided that it is slight "over-kill" for New England Whitetail Deer. It did perform in a way that more "normal" caliber Deer rifles might not have to harvest my first Deer ever, in a way I'll never forget. The guy at the little check in station at the quaint county/general store looked at the entry wound and asked, "Is that the exit wound?" To which I replied with the biggest man-moment grin on my face saying, "No, that's the entry wound!" I puffed out my chest and smiled with all my teeth. To which he exclaimed, "What the hell are you using?!?" To which I proudly answered, ".300 Winchester Magnum!" That smile comes back every time I remember that moment!!!

Every time I stop to glass the woods and take a moment to survey my surroundings while I am still-hunting/stalking Black Bear here in MASS, I take a moment and look down at my Magnum Monster and smile to myself the same Man-Smile I first got 20 years ago in the Mountains of New Hampshire.

The mystique is still alive... I brought my fabled Winchester 670 Safari into my local gun shop just before Bear season this year because I have removed the scope and mounts so I could use the Iron sights on it (it has a really nice hooded front sight with a nice adjustable Weaver rear sight) and I needed some plug/screws to fill the scope mount tapped holes in the top of the receiver. As I handed the Magnum Monster over to the guy behind the counter he took notice of the although identical to the Winchester Model 70 looks/design, the much heavier receiver of the 670 Safari, and asked, "What do you use this Bad Boy for?" To which my Man-Smile returned and said thru my toothy grin, "Bear!" To which he asked, "Does that thing kick or what?" To which I replied, "Oh yeah!!! At both ends of the barrel!" Bringing back that flood of eternally crisp clear memories of my first Deer and the undying Man-Smile I get when I fondle my Magnum Monster!!!

To answer our question specifically... Yes and no...

You can never have too much gun, but you can use too much gun depending upon the game you are trying to harvest... And I kinda tend to lean toward rather having too much gun, than not having enough gun!!!

American heritage/culture war

We are facing the constant attack by the elitist liberal leftists that would have us abandon America and God for their draconian preference of their wisdom being more enlightened than either man's or God's.

We must stand and fight, in order to save our American liberty and culture, we need to reject this elitist liberal socialism and renounce it loud and proud and stand up for the righteous enlightenment of our American heritage and Judeo-Christian valued core history.

Here is one of my posts on the NUGE Talkback boards;

I'm damn glad someone in the spotlight/media focus is finally fighting back! Ted Nugent fights back and the drive-by media (the willing accomplices of the elitist liberal democrap party) blows a gasket!

When the Hitlery Clintons of the world can repeatedly masturbate orgasms of their vitriol, unAmerican socialism, and lies unchecked; never being taken to task by the "journalists" that interview them or report on their photo-ops and speeches, we are in dire need of someone with the testicular fortitude to fight back and give them "The Flying-finger" salute.

The abomination and aberration of their vicious unfounded attacks, lies, and exclamations of the Freudian Projectionism, they continually get away with slinging, is an unacceptable blight/cancer on the face of America! These absolute scoundrels and despots need the Full-Bluntal-Nugity slap in the face since the drive-by media does nothing but stroke their egos and support their unAmerican and anti-American agenda.

I don't get the personal media attention or focus that our beloved Uncle Ted does, so thank God almighty that he does and is willing to do so on our behalf since the abomination of journalism deems it appropriate to inundate us with these elitist liberal masturbations of raw soulless filth and offense against American liberty, our American culture, and all things of American ideology, including all American citizens.

These elitist liberal socialist pigs need to be attacked until their destruction is complete, their disintegration is attained, and they are all decimated and destroyed. We need to "salt their earth" in every place where we leave the mangle corpses of their eternally failing agenda and policies.
