Shotgun

new to shotgun choking. Before reading the words of V.M. Starr in our reading this week I had next to no knowledge about how to choke a shotgun. Mr. Starr went on to explain that “his first experience choking a shotgun was in an old blacksmith shop on the farm in Ohio where he was born”. He stated that he and his father “took a shot-out muzzle loading rifle and bored it to about 24 gauge and worked a choke into it”. I wouldn’t in a million years think to turn a shot-out rifle into a shotgun. I…

As Capote contrasts the stark differences between Dick and Perry, he begins to humanize Perry because of his past and villainize Dick because of his; therefore, Capote asserts that people's actions are a result of their past. Capote utilizes Asyndeton when he dialogues the conversation between the Police and Mrs. Johnson. “I wanted to help him. I hoped I might change a few of his ideas. Now I know better. The rights of other people mean nothing to Perry. He has no respect for anyone” (181).…

about remembering the first time he shot his first shotgun, I immediately thought about my first time shooting a shotgun, OUCH! Wasn’t that hard to think about. I was ten years old at my friend’s house with my parents when they were shooting in the back yard at clay pigeons. My buddy and I where captivated by the sound and watching the clay pigeons break that we wanted to shoot at the clay pigeons too. I don’t remember the make and model of the shotgun but I do remember that they put in slugs so…

The various types of firearms have many different jobs, take hunters and police officers, for example. Hunters use guns to harvest food, while police officers use guns for law enforcement. The two most commonly used firearms are the rifle and the shotgun, these two firearms are used for a certain goal but the two are different from one another. They differ by the types of bore, the type of projectiles it can fire, how far the range is, and how much they cost. A rifle gets its name from the…

believe that Kurt Cobain killed himself, isn’t it weird that Dylan Carson bought the shotgun for Kurt Cobain, the shotgun was lying on his chest, and the suicide note he left did not match some of his handwriting. Firstly, Kurt Cobain killed himself on April 5th,1994 3 days prior to when they found him which was on April 8th, 1994.

fun sports or activities. Guns have always intrigued me because of the way they work and how they are made. I feel I have a good experience with firearms considering that I am a owner of 5 myself. Most people put firearms into three groups, rifles, shotguns, and handguns, depending on the use, style, and type of ammunition. The first gun many people think of is a rifle. A rifle is defined as a firearm with a rifled or spirally cut grooves barrel, a stock or shoulder brace, and shoots a single…

barreled sawed off shotguns, used as a weapon of well regulated militias.For at least thirty years shotguns have been a military issue, years before this case was reviewed. Many Confederate soldiers who privately owned shotguns were permitted use of them, and many had barrels with lengths well below eighteen inches. Considering how scarce weapons were for people in the South, family household shotguns were used. Also throughout World War I shotguns were used by United States forces. Shotguns go…

The Seventh Circuit, in Miller, 721 F.3d 435, 440 (7th Cir. 2013), found that the risks associated with mere possession of a short-barreled shotgun are not in the same league as the risks associated with the enumerated crimes. The court aptly pointed out that “[e]ven though a short-barreled shotgun is quite dangerous, its real risks will almost always manifest only when used or carried in a manner causing others to react.” Id. The Miller court explicitly rejected the Eighth Circuit’s…

to start rewarding me in exchange for good grades. I caught on quickly to the idea of making exceptional grades for the things that I desire. A prime example is my 870 Remington, 12-gauge shotgun that I received for earning an “A” on my Social Studies midterm. This was no ordinary shotgun. These specific shotguns were handcrafted and customized to fit young boys like myself at the time. I was in eighth grade when Ducks Unlimited hosted a banquet at a local plantation home. These events were only…
