Wallhangers

[tenngun]

Hanging unmentionables is considered a security risk these days in many circles but I notice it seems to be more common to do so with muzzleloaders. Thoughts?

I display my unmentionables

There is food for thought here.

These days I keep a couple of muzzleloaders hanging up and some cap and ball revolvers on display to enjoy in my man cave. I don't worry too much about any drive by shootings being committed if they get lifted as easy bait if they get that far while new stuff is safely and securely locked away. I'd be out a few grand but that's the chance I'm willing to take to enjoy them out in the open. YMMV

You lot lucky to live in USA with V 8 engines included U.K. Diesel today was £1.42/ litr The police refused to renew my certificates they think I might shoot intruders or whatever , civil disobedience if you like. Ha ha They took away my S2 licence and three shotguns. So no point being in a club .... I am only 78 I can borrow guns if in shouting distance of them owner... So my 14 odd guns are just wall hangers All I can shoot are PCP 12 ft lb air guns....

Wife moans they are on the wall, could I put them in the loft or spare room , actualy no I shoot bows and arrows but you cannot hunt with them in uk....life can be tough for us gunny guys in uk.....Our pistols were confiscated a few years ago Such is gunny life in uk......I try to be happy I like Flint knapping for locks and arrow heads ,,,,i guess do what you like what makes you happy ....

There but for the grace of God and the NRA go we.

Just thought I’d post my wallhangers. Both modern repros….both fireable.

I guess there's two ways of taking the term "Wall Hanger"
First there's the literal meaning to display or have at the ready!
Then there's a classification of "shooters" and no longer shootable but very nice "wall hanger."
I have an 1847 Springfield percussion conversion "relic" that will never be fired again hanging on the wall in my office. But the guns I shoot are stored away out of site.

Hey, I usta do that.

Song lyric from Dire Straits:
"Don't do it no more
But I used to could"

I was jump qualified but spent a lot more time unassing helicopters. On ropes or jumping from just a bit too high off the ground. Stinking kunai grass.

Don't do that no more neither.

Nothing can compete with life in an airborne dvision. I was in the 101st when it was still a parachute division..

Hell, I can’t even jump off my horse anymore

101 was a great division with a lot of history. Only downside was their Screaming Eagles patch got them derogativly referred to by other units as the Puking Buzzards

I do not think its smart to even post a pic of a wallhanger anymore or even parts of a ML/gun on the net. We recently had a garage sale and posted a pic of the stuff we had on Facebook Marketplace. Within seconds they took down our post. In the pic was an incomplete BB gun and a empty ML stock hanging on garage wall. When i protested they admitted the items triggered a "shape" detection program and that such items violated their rules. I don't care about the pic, its that they probably "flagged" us permanently. Downright scary.

We used to say that other division was Almost Airborne.

Lol, I used to do all that (mid to late 70s) I've since been issued the new "A-2 knees"
. I don't think they're as versatile as the originals but they are solid and they don't hurt all the time anymore!
