I own a couple each of rifles, handguns, and shotguns.
They’re useful to repel boarders.
No problem, just doing my part to fight ignorance 
admittedly, a APHP round would be pretty cool though
It’s probably just a standard hollowpoint round with a cool “Tactical” sounding name, similar to the infamous Winchester “Black Talon” hollowpoint rounds, a standard HP round with a black Teflon coating over a “spiky” copper hollowpoint jacket, they got bad press as “Cop Killer” bullets and Winchester pulled them from the civilian market…
they then slightly rounded off the “pointy” bits of the hollowpoint jacket, changed to a copper jacket, and named the new bullets the “SXT” bullets (short for Same eXact Thing), the only real difference between a Black Talon and an SXT is the color of the jacket material…
Aren’t Sabot rounds pretty close (sort of) to an APHP round?
I voted no, only because I do not own one… yet. I plan to start a collection of them as soon as I get the funds to do so.
Pity all of them will accidentally fall into a seafaring iron smelter soon after purchase. 
I have a cc permit, but have never been fingerprinted. Do many states require fingerprinting? What is the rationale?
I don’t own one myself, but my father does, so there’s one in the house. When I move out (soon, soon…) it’s not a top priority buy or anything, but I may get one eventually. I’ve nothing against it, at any rate.
An armor-piercing hollowpoint is possible, but would kind of defeat the purpose of having a hollowpoint i.e. a slug that mushrooms to larger diameter. A hardened steel projectile with a hollowpoint would be armor-piercing but the hollow would be superfluous.
I had to answer yes, but it’s nearly a no. When my aunt died I inherited a little one-shot 22 rifle. It’s one step up from a bb gun. I also inherited one bullet. I put it somewhere safe, which means that I’ll probably never see it again.
On the possibility that my Dad once owned it, one of my sons is interested in having it. The next time I visit him, I’ll take it along.
So it’s temporarily mine and it’s barely a gun.
My wife can be goofy enough without arming her.
We were left a gun by her father and we gave it away.
You did check with local law enforcement and make sure that you followed proper safety procedures, didn’t you?
You check to make sure the individual had a valid, same-state issued identification or better yet went to a licensed FFL dealer and had them to a firearms transfer for a nominal fee?
Not really. A .22 is a real gun, and can kill somebody. In theory, a .22 round could travel a mile downrange–there used to be a warning to that effect on cartridge boxes (may still be, I haven’t bought any .22 ammo in a long time). Not busting your chops here, but language like “one step up from a bb gun” and “barely a gun” conveys a dangerous attitude towards this weapon. If you’re handling it, a .22 deserves all the respect and safety considerations of any other gun. For that matter, I handle a bb gun the same as I handle other guns as far as safety is concerned.
Unless the gobs of crime fiction I’ve been exposed to over my lifetime has been lying to me, the .22 is the choice of the professional hitman for execution-style double-taps to the head.
IANAPH, but I have heard that too. I think Reagan got shot with a .22, or maybe a .25
No guns here, except for MrWhatsit’s Nerf arsenal and the kids’ water pistols.
A Cop teaching a self-defense class once told my wife that he feared a .22 hit just as much as a .357, because the smaller/lower-power bullet is more likely to ricochet off of bones, doing lesser but more widespread damage.
I don’t know if he was right. Just saying.
.
It was enough gun to take down Bobby Kennedy.
Will it stop a rampaging meth-head in the midst of a psychotic rage? Doubtful. Will it kill? Most definitely. Remember, more deer are poached with a .22 than with any other caliber.
Don’t know how many states require fingerprinting, but Texas and Arkansas do. Rationale? Probably none that are rational.
I grew up in the stereotypical Massachusetts, liberal, no gun family, but walked a different path.
I met my New Hampshire, conservative, lots of gun family, and she came with a boat containing a Savage Bolt action .30-30. I now have another .30-30 ('94 Trapper), two 12ga shotguns, and a Ruger 10-22 .22…
Or I did, until the boat sank at the bottom of the pond.
No LTC yet, but I don’t own a pistol, so haven’t really had much need… yet…
Ruger Vaquero .45 Long Colt with a birds head grip which is a snorting thing of beauty which I love, love love and a Berretta Cheetah 85F .380 (single stack).
Thank you for the information on the 22. Please be assured that I would never handle it lightly and wouldn’t handle a bb gun lightly either.
