ITT we swap /k/k related complaints about friends and family

>best friend moving to cleveland but refuses to get a CCW, even though he's not gonna be in a good neighborhood
>Mom got CCW permit over a year ago and still hasn't bought a carry gun
>I can't find a round quiet enough to use in my suburban backyard but big enough to humanely kill a problem woodchuck

>>33925465
>mother keeps sitting on cpl
I know how that goes
Is she constantly saying she cant decide even though she constantly gravitates back to one?

>>33925502

She doesn't have much experience with guns, and to be fair neither do I, so neither of us really know what we're looking for. She had trouble racking the slide on a couple autos we tried at the LGS, so she kinda preferred the revolvers we tried. But then she tried racking the slide on a couple pistols a friend owned, and she was able to, so now we don't know. It doesn't help that guns are so expensive.

38/357s are generally good for newbies but try to avoid the 357 magum round until your pretty sure you can take it

It's just a woodchuck, how about subsonic .22?

>>33925703
A brand new semi auto is going to have a very stiff recoil spring. They break in after a hundred rounds or so and get easier to operate.

>>33925880
Just realized you were talking about a woodchuck, not a chipmunk. Woops.

>>33925927
yeah woodchuck's a bit bigger than a chipmunk.

What if I shoot through something? Like put a pillow right in front of the muzzle? Will that keep it quiet enough that I can use standard or high velocity rounds?

How about a .17cal BB gun? iirc mine's rated at like 1200fps.

My wife has my pistol, and she won't tell me where it is.
>"Well, that's what happens when you put a loaded gun to your head. We'll talk after you've been in therapy for awhile."
Whatever. Bitch.
But in all seriousness, she's a wonderful woman, and I'm forever grateful to her for putting up with this bullshit.

If only there was some sort of device that you put at the end of a muzzle to reduce the sound.

shooting through a makeshift muzzle gas expansion retardation device will cause unpredicatable variation which is unacceptable when you're shooting for particularly small target like the brain stem of a woodchuck.

I've knocked out woodchucks with a .22 before and usually a shot through them will be lethal but they will not drop instantly and be recoverable unless you hit them in the brain stem. Note: not the brain, the brain STEM which is about the size of a pea.

If you just want the thing dead and don't care if it makes it down its hole and rots there you may be overthinking the problem. If you do want to recover it, make sure you can hit a target the size of a pea at the EXACT range you're going to see it and then anything above a .177 pellet gun should have enough oomph to get the job done.

>>33925999
Dude. Ditch her. She'll tell the cops you're a danger to yourself. Bye guns.

>>33926152
What about a heart shot?

>>33926189
It'll be lethal, but it won't drop like a rock. For the most part when they're above ground they're never more than a second's dash from being down their hole so any kill that isn't instant won't leave you a body to recover.

Alternatively you could just poison the thing and then cave in its hole. If it doesn't re-dig it's dead and buried.
