I put an extended tube on my 1100 and a tactical stock. This is what it looked like before the canoe accident.

It makes me weep each time I think about it. In case ATF is reading it was all gone. Each and every one of them. There was an RRA AR15 in the bunch, too. (sigh) Oh, and several thousand rounds of ammo. I don't think I should have loaded all that stuff in the back of the canoe with me. That might have been my mistake.

Couln't you have dived down and got some of them out! Surely you weren't haulin guns down a dangerous deep river with killer rapids were you? Where did this happen, I want some new guns?
And why did you have all of those guns and ammo, were you preparing for a duelling banjo attack or something. This is very interesting!
They were being moved across the lake. Canoe is the only way to get to my house. The lake is at least 500 feet deep. How far can scuba go down? It's 3 feet deeper than that. The pickup truck is no problem to balance on the canoe but those guns and all that ammo were a problem. So I don't have anything but my charming good looks anymore....if ATF is reading.

I tried a big magnet but it came untied. Lost it, too.

very sad for you guys
We need to start a canoe accident support group!
I do not currently own a canoe but I do have a John boat that has a real weak drain plug. I worry about that every time I go duck hunting.
If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?
That's how it starts. Weak drain plug, boat loaded with weapons. Them BAMO! Before you know it you're callin in the Coast Guard to pluck you out of a raging lake or river. All your weapons and ammo now belong to Davy Jones. I still get cold chills just thinkin about it.

It helps to talk about it you know, and we are here to listen
Agreed. That, and a pistol. 'Tis kinda hard dialling the phone while holding a shotgun.
Dang! I purely resemble that remark!
Or a few strategically-placed quarter-inch hardened steel plates, or...

Tests have proven that .223 HP's/SP's have less penetration through common building materials than mostly all defensive pistol rounds, shotgun slugs, or buckshot. I will be clearing my own home after a quick call to the PD so penetration is a concern. I've done a few of my own penetrations test that support the findings that .223 is less penetrative than other stuff out there. So yes, an AR sleeps comfortably under my bed until it may be called upon. As a matter of fact, the AR platform (M4 specifically) is not at all unweildly and is actually taylored to clearing homes by it's shortened design making it very handy around corners. That being said, I also keep a loaded 12 guage pump handy. Can't have too many options. Most legal length shotguns (18") are actually longer than an M4/AR. So if someone considers the AR unweildy indoors, this mindset would ultimately have to apply to their shotgun too.
9mm: Because I've seen a .45 bounce off of a windshield MORE THAN ONCE.
9mm: Because even 1911 guys don't want to get shot with one of my "little" bullets.
9mm: Because low round count single stack pistols suck in a gun fight!
The M4 wasn't mentioned just the AR. My AR is 37 inches from nose to tail with the butt extended or 34 inches shortened. My .45 is .... well .... a lot shorter. Mine also eats 5.56 FMJ.
