I'd say that is all up to personal opinion. I don't think the 9mm size would prevent anyone from stepping in front of a loaded one. I'm a noob though, so I'll check things out more obviously before I purchase.

Want to at least get a weapon to conceal carry, one for storage in the vehicle (possibly), and one for the house

Maybe a look for a few rifles here and there if Barry doesn't ban them

Speaking of which, lets ban snow mobiles!

You'd think we've evolved enough to know that doing a flip on a ******* snow mobile probably isn't the most intelligent thing in the world........

Camera does this no justice... for some reason is jargons up the high pitched sound.
I think you are the first Mustang that I've seen run Bassani Race mufflers. How big are they? Mainly I'm wondering how they compare to the Bullets. Also what do you think of them? I think your setup might end up on my Mach, only dumped.

Going to go see a 69 Camaro tomorrow. In pretty damn good condition. 350. Motor running. Just has flat tires. Guy bought it for $12,000. Will post pics tomorrow. Going to offer him like $8,000 if I like the thing.

To the whole gun thing

My advice is start with a 22 handgun, learn to shoot and move up. Ammo becomes expensive fast in higher calibers where a 500 box of 22s is dirt cheap lol and you wont get good at shooting if you don't practice. Carrying a gun is useless if you can't use it correctly.

Most fun I've had with guns is a basic 12 gauge pump and clay shooting

Id have to measure them... they arent very big but they do there job well. Its very tame driving it around town. No drone at all. But when i crack the throttle its awesome. Most of the exhaust note however comes from the Kooks headers and x pipe. Kooks is the only header that has a different design longtube... and its the only one that seems to make a good sound on these mod motors.

I learned on a 45acp. I've never even shot a .22 nor care to. IMO if you need to start out with a .22 then you don't need a gun.

I can rapid fire my .40s&w and they all are on target at a realistic range. Actually I was getting cocky and was shooting my CCW target about 15-20 feet away and just got a wild hair up my *** and went for my AR15 target out at 50 yards and my first shot hit it! I love my little 40, and until I got it I actually hated that round and was a .45 or go home kinda guy.

Yea I'm going to go with some Kooks. I think my stock headers are holding back my car pretty good. Not that I make near the power you do, but still.

If you still have an off road x pipe you prob wont pick up too much more then sound. Maybe 8-10whp above 6k with a bit more mid range torque. The cats are the biggest cork. I still had my stock cats on. I changed from stock cats/shorty headers... to kooks offroad x pipe and there longtubes. The power difference is unbelievable. Since my last race, i added a 1 piece driveshaft (-25lbs), BMR k member and a arms (-35lbs), and the exhaust (-20lbs + 20-25whp). I can tell you this car now would hurt my cars feelings a month ago. Should be making around 445whp right now. Im anxious to get it back to the dyno and retune it but i want to install a few more pieces first.

Starting with a 22 was simply for the fact of cheep ammo and easy to shoot, thats it. If someone has NEVER shot a gun before, I know I would put the 22 in their hands first lol

I learned to shoot on a 12 gauge pump if it makes any difference. ~edit~ Which was a lot of fun
