I like the swivel gun on the porch idea. It's a compromise, but a practical one.

First post.
Buy the cannon and accidentally let it slip you used the money you had earmarked for her engagement ring.

You definitely need a cannon. That goes without saying.

How long will the backyard range be?

Send GF to me for re-education.

I think one cannon would look lonely. You definitely need two cannons at least.

Maybe a swivel gun by the front door.. too much?

OP has a Bobcat, so one at each corner, and use the Bobcat for resupply.

Skip the cannon and go with a mortar.

Cannon says you don't need a girlfriend.

Is this going to be your house, or 50% her house?

Girlfriend's wrong, OP.

Might as well go all out and get a caisson and horse to go with it. Make sure you fire that fucker off every day at 0600 when you raise the flag.

ETA
Let your local reenactors know you have one - I bet you'll get invited to some cool events. During the war of 1812 bicentennial, they had a reenactment of the Battle of Caulk's Field around here - complete with cannons. It was fucking great.

When in doubt, always err on the side of more artillery.

I’m not saying you need a cannon but if you are concerned with her safety...it’s the right thing to do.

Posted: 10/31/2018 10:42:31 AM EDT

I would assume that she meant you don't need A cannon. A cannon doesn't win a battle. A battery of cannons wins a battle.

She wants know that she is dating a winner. Be a winner. Get a bunch of cannons.

Posted: 10/31/2018 10:44:42 AM EDT

Sit the GF down and explain to her that this your home and if you want a cannon you will get a cannon and if she does not like it she can self eject or be ejected.

I bet your neighbor behind you will just love your new range.

I fully expect to see a “neighbor problem” thread in the future.

That doesn’t look like your typical guns don’t bother me trailer trash house

I think it grew on her. She said she'd rather it be on a wall mount shelf with my large caliber collection. I might do that then buy an RPG-2 if I can find one for $200

It does look like a pretty massive house back there. I'm told the farmer to my left that owns all that other land is a pretty cool guy so maybe i can "borrow" some of his land to shoot on as well. I don't think he will mind me shooting the deer that eats his crops. Hopefully.

That place looks like a battlefield from the war of northern aggression. You need a cannon and a southern bell.

You absolutely do not need a cannon.

You need a Coehorn mortar so you can shoot over the house into the back yard.
