Part of why "donate once" doesn't work is they spend the cost of my donation on mailers to me. That's a non-starter with me for any charity. (i.e. Operation Christmas Child.) Even if they were doing something worthwhile, my donation is negated. What's the delta for when a donation would be useful. I bet they spend $60 on mailers and marketing at me every year, and that would quadruple if that resulted in money. How much do you have to give them before it outpaces the amount they spend on begging from you? The other part is that donating anything to an entity which will use my donation to

I traded some ammo, plus a bit of horse trading and ended up with reloading supplies and one of these: http://www.nikonsportoptics.com/en/nikon-products/product-archive/riflescopes/p-300-blk-2-7x32-bdc-supersub.html#tab-ProductDetail-ProductTabs-TechSpecs I've been wanting this scope for a few years, and I really like it. No doubt you can think of a dozen that I would like better, but for what I can get my hands on this is a really good match to my wants.

1) just a few weeks ago, they explicitly suggested that BATFE should ignore the language of the statute in their official press releases, and regulate bump stocks as machine guns. Even if you think bump stocks are dumb, that is the worst kind of precedent, and NRA scoring a home goal. 2) You must not live in Washington state. We got a "universal background check" law about 3 years ago that makes sharing guns during recreational shooting a felony even among family members. NRA fundraiser on it heavily here, but didn't do so much as run an ad campaign on the west side of the state. NRA then

The only stuff I saw was that they dropped the NRA from their fund list. I didn't see any PR campaign bragging about it, or any anti gun statements. Just dropping NRA from their automatic donations. Then a press release after people freaked out saying as much, and that they are still pro firearm. Did you see anything beyond that? IMO I'm tired of the NRA being seen as THE proxy for American gun rights. NRA sells us out a hell of a lot more than an over priced cup maker. I decided a few years ago not to back the NRA too. I'll gladly back institutions that actually do lobby for freedom, such

I just took a guy out shooting for his first time. He's my wife's boss. When we stopped by the store, the gun he was interested in was a turquoise SCCY for $209. I gotta say, they are doing very well for the price. I find that tempting as a tiny gun.

Just taking out a brown bear's heart will kill it, but there are hundreds of documented incidents when that happened and the bear rampaged around for up to about 14 minutes. They have a separate metabolic process which gives them emergency energy which does not require fresh blood for oxygen for their muscles to work. kinda like when you run out of blood sugar and your cells eat themselves a little to scavenge ATP, then you have a crash later and sore muscles from the lactic acid byproduct. I know people in alaska who've killed grizzlies with .22 short pistols with a shot to the spine, bu

I wish his legacy of training via abuse was gone too. It is insane to me, how people recognize his acting as familiar from their experience and decide that it must be good. The whole point of his movie was how terrible and stupid it was to treat people that way, and how it didn't work very well either. People now think it was cool. Now ~every person in a training job aspires to be like him. He is a cartoon character of the worst things we do in the military, and now they treat him as a role model. Just because we used to have a practice of doing something a certain way in the mili

I took the bait and snapped back. I would have better kept my mouth shut rather than "removing all doubt"

good for you. I got it because I wanted it and it has a purpose. Making people's eyes big and giving them a fun experience is a pretty nice side benefit though. Guns have multiple purposes, and fun is a pretty valid purpose too, so nuts to the implication that having them only for serious purposes is somehow a superior attitude. Nothing about having a gun for fun takes away from having that or other guns for serious purposes. If anything, it sounds like the above post is a machismo claim to impress people, and that doesn't impress me. gf

Go watch brobee 223's videos on those slugs. They are very much made for east coast deer. Not bear. Even if you ain't got the scratch for testing, you know that just about any solid slug is better than a soft and thin foster for bears. Pretty much the whole breneke product line will do better. Or dixie slugs, or the Hexolit slugs. Federal had one or two that would be fine.

I've been management too. I currently have a small business. I hope to employ others within the year. I saw first hand that some people were smarter than others in prior generations. There's always indoctrination, it's only a question of what is being taught. I've also seen my fair share of employers who were smart about some things and crap in their hands and smear it on their faces retarded about other things. People vary as individuals. people as a whole stay the same. There is a new wave of resistance to the indoctrination too. It's become more blatant than ever, and access to better

Guys- the kids on the news are not representative of kids today any more than the adults on the news are representative of you. Don't get suckered into believing "all the kids think this way" just because a news organization with an agenda portrays it that way. Same goes for thinking thousands of kids eat tide pods. A few of your generation tried to smoke banana peels, and a lot of them huffed solvents. Step down a little here and think critically. If you want the youth to listen to you, treat them with the same respect you expect. This is just obvious stuff. You call the kids tidepods, an

Just one MD20. It mostly exists to make people's eyes go big when I let them try it. Often they hand the gun back with ammo still in the drum. However, I had to sell the Iz108, so I don't have anything to use the drum with at the moment. Looking forward to buying that back. IMO, a magwell and the stick mags are so much faster that the drum is just a novelty. I've tried a couple sizes of promag, and the quality on the MD20 is far above. I would probably like one of the 15 shot guys though. But if you enjoy the drums, I would get as many MD 20 as you can while you can. They are cheap for w

It makes a kind of sense. They will probably come back orange with rust though. Fill those suckers up with corrosion block and do so often. keep an eye on the magazine springs too. At first I was thinking the PAP pistol with no brace, and IMO those are very awkward to shoot. Until you stick a brace or a stamp on them, they are just a toy.

They are very comparable to the leehi Phillips head bullets. You can get both from their respective manufacturers as components. The manufacturer even provides load data https://www.inceptorammo.com/bullets/ https://www.lehighdefense.com/collections/bullets/products/355cal-9mm-xtreme-defense-90gr-bullet?variant=3759414404 The copper matrix ones are about 21 cents each at midway, which makes them a lot cheaper than the LeHigh bullet. I know ruger's ammo uses them now.

If you practice with the cheapest stuff you can buy, choose a round which works well in standard pressure 115 grain flavor. Then your practice ammo will match your carry ammo. There are good terminal ballistic performers available in each of the common weights, and at standard pressure. Most of the time, I've seen as good performance from the standards as the +P. So given that it is a small gun, that's a quicker followup, in addition to matching the behavior of the cheap plinkers. If you reload, pick your flavor. There's good performers, and the 125 ish is one of the easier ones to match.

Professional reman lead ammo is garbage as a rule. They undersize it to ensure chambering in a one size fits all way. This creates leading, particularly since basically all of it I have seen also uses crummy alloy and a conventional wax lube. Powder coated, or even tumble lubed in 45/45/10 sized to .001"-.002" over bore diameter wouldn't have been an issue. Most of the negative things people say about lead ammo are due to crap like that. Lead ammo is as good or better than FMJ in pistols, if you get the details right. I'd also be skeptical about the QC standards with a lot of that. .4

You would be better off with critical defense in that barrel length. Duty tends not to expand well unless shot out of ~5" barrels. Defense is worked up for shorter barrels, but works fine in longer. - something I wish I had known before I bought Duty.

It would probably be easier to shoehorn one into a 930, but presumably Mossberg is planning to do just that.

I think bodies should be taken care of carefully and with respect, but stuff is stuff, and shouldn't get reverence. Possibly preservation as historical items, but while I love history, one thing I've learned from it is that the living need land and materials more than the dead do, and that there are enough historical artifacts to avoid making shrines of them all. Normal maritime law allows salvage, and I see absolutely zero good from making two classes of citizens, military and other. If a civilian shipwreck is subject to salvage, so is a military shipwreck. If the laws say otherwise, we s

Screw a tab, magwells are the way to go. Why go for rock and lock ever, given that straight insert is a thing?

In answer to the first question, yes. How much do the pieces you cut off weigh?

Cool. I will bring it up with my wife on the next family budget meeting. Find me in this crowd https://imgur.com/a/BD9iY

Interesting site.

The standard way of calculating crime rates are ___________ incidents /1000 residents per year. It always breaks down to the definition of the crime, and whether you fill the blank with "assumed", "Reported by victim", Cited by officer, charged at booking, convicted.
