Question to Goose hunters

[johnf]

I was watching a clip of Kerry walking with his "trusty double Barel. All the other hunters looked like they were carrying Simi-auto's. The over and unders that I have seen seem a little high dollar to take out in a wet field and shoot geese with. I don't know enough about it to make an informed opinion, but is his choice of gun a normal one? Or is it showing us our future of firearm choice?

I know guys who hunt waterfowl with over unders. Not $10 000 over unders thouhg. I guess look at it this way, if you have millions and millions of dollars taking a $10 000 gun out hunting is comprable to the average guy taking out a $400 shotgun. I also think another reason is so he can say "See you don't need a semi-auto" when he introduces a bill to ban them. (Of course you are all going to vote against him so he doesn't get the chance right??) http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

First off is this really in the political site, and secondly #### yes they use over and unders, i use my browning citori in the field like that all the time, thats why i got a field grade, may scratch it up a bit but the mechanics arnt going to fail or clog up like a semi-might. my dad shoots a Ugartchea SXS in the duck blind. My guns are hunting guns period, that shure didnt look like a 10,000 doller over and under.

The telling thing about that photo op was that Kerry would not even carry the goose he killed..and he really thinks we believe he is going to raise taxes on the wealthiest people in America?????

I didn't know, that's why I asked.
