  1. I did see a dude shoot the hood of his own truck just like that. Mule deer 200 yds away obviously left the county. We asked him if he was going to mount the hood.
  2. Bad sniper. 3 shots. With a hostage. Worse bank robber. 2 misses and doesnt duck.
  3. I'm in for a stock, if available. I have an EG folder on my SAR and it's just not "comfy". lol
  4. I just nabbed an Ergo G3-style Grip for my FAL. I have never liked the stock grip. The angle is all wrong. I had to do a little fitting to get it on because the insert was too thick for the nut to go on. And now that it's on, I'm not totally in love with the looks of it. The curvy shape and rubber texture don't seem to match the rifle. But it really is "ergo". Fits my hand like a glove. The angle is perfect. So overall I'm happy. Soon I'll cut the barrel to 18" and add a nice optic.
  5. Find me the post where someone says they are going to "blast them". And who said any goddam thing about video games? Why don't you object to what was actually said if you need to object. Jeezus Krist. Nobody in this thread has said they WANT to face a mob! Fer fucksake! This is so obvious I can't believe the chicken littles with their hand-wringing. If there is an angry mob coming after you, and you can escape, then escape. But if you can't escape, or if your fucking wife or daughter or female friend is with you then you better be READY to face them with whatever peashooter yo
  6. It's on here. It's been mentioned on other recent threads involving race too. Of course, when I bring it up, people always claim that it isn't a race issue, but more about social class. Yet "purge" and "cleanse" are always and ONLY brought up in threads involving race. If class is the issue, why are all the threads about race? I started posting here originally because I like guns. But I'm not nearly as redneck as most people here. That confuses many of the people on this board because many are straight up morons. I see the usual pieces of shit agree with you. Congrats, you're in go
  7. Original 12C = Very Cool. But not functionally different. The LE only status of this shows how retarded the import laws are. It's fine if we build this EXACT shotgun here. But importing it is a federal felony. The NFA laws are retarded as well. If I'm the sort who's willing to rob a bank or shoot up a school, will I NOT be willing to cut down a shotgun in my garage? Like most of the hundreds of thousands of laws they aren't intended to prevent crime. They are intended to give the gubbermit another club to control the people with.

    P10 = 10rds = double Awesome piece, if it's reliable. Some of the P10s won't run.
  9. Take a good look at the picture. He's damn lucky he's not dead. Even luckier if he's not brain damaged. But hey, at least he didn't have a premeditated plan to defend himself. Or (gasp!) talk about defending himself on an internet forum.

    Cal compliant?

    Move to Arizona.
  11. Yep, they don't usually mount that way. That's what the duct tape is for.
  12. I'd treat the lion the same as a 2-legged predator. If it (or he) wasn't attacking me or obviously about to attack me, I'd avoid confrontation. If either of them was attacking or making it clear they intended to, I'd pull the "peashooter" and do my best. Nothing to lose at that point, right? Could have been a 480 Ruger. Nah. Most likely meant to say 38 caliber.
  13. If you haven't already decided you're willing to take a life in defense of your own then dont carry a gun. If you carry a gun and know you may have to use it that doesnt make you eager to use it. You aren't the only one to experience death or the only one wise enough to understand deadly force is only a last resort. I don't see a single person here saying they WANT to use deadly force. But the only thing worse than needing to shoot somebody in defense of your own life, is needing to shoot someone in defense of your own life and not having a gun to do it. So stop wringing your han
  14. Always an element of luck in a confrontation. Nobody controls all variables. But luck favors the prepared.
  15. Youre no different than the media "dude". Buying a gun. Training to use it. Announcing to the world that you intend to defend yourself. These could all be used against you in court. But I and many others WILL ddfend ourselves in the event of violent attack. And the more that know that the less likely it is to occur. The only reason that more mob violence doesnt happen is the knowledge that some can and will fight back. It sure as hell isnt fear of prosecution.
  16. All it takes is 1 of 12 that thinks he was acting in self-defense, and has the balls to stand up to the other jurors (and the race baiters). As I understand it he was charged with 2nd degree murder. By going for the max the prosecutor has made conviction much more difficult. Manslaughter would have been an easier case. And the lead investigator in the case pushed for a manslaughter charge. But manslaughter wasn't enough red meat for the race baiters. So we will see. Contrast this to the Joe Horn case in Texas. Remember Horn wasn't even charged. He clearly told the 911 oper
  17. Fortunately I don't have to travel in cracker-hatin areas. But this could boil over and shit could happen anywhere. I normally carry a Kahr P45 but the state of tension has me thinking I should carry the XD45 instead. I'm faster and more accurate with the XD and I get 2X the rounds before I reload. I have an 870 in the trunk of my car but I ride my bike alot so nothing but a pistol. There are 30rd mags available for the XD also.
  18. Wrong. Negligence happens. If you trip over your own shoelace, that's an accident. If you shoot somebody you are responsible. If you didn't intend to shoot them you're negligent and imo should be prosecuted just as if you had closed your eyes and floored the accelerator when coming to a stop sign. Here's a brief reminder of the rules for firearms safety. 1. Always treat every gun as loaded. 2. Never point a gun at anything you are not willing to destroy. (1 and 2 are a bit redundant, but redundant is never bad when it comes to gun safety) 3. Keep your finger off the t
  19. In case you have ANY doubt, shooting at something you can't clearly identify makes you a MORON!
  20. Mine doesnt hang up and its easy to load on a closed bolt. This is the only mag I load on a closed bolt.
  21. First "gun" I owned and shot was a Daisy Golden Eagle BB gun. Birthday present when I was 10. First firearm I shot was a pump .410 (870 I think) First firearm I owned was a Marlin Model 60. I gave it to my little brother when I joined the Corps.
  22. As big a fan as I am of the original XD series, I don't care for the look of the m. Or the feel of it. The checkering is very aggressive. I tried to like Glocks but the grip angle makes no sense. It's almost like poor old Gaston had a deformed wrist. The XD grip angle is the same as the 1911 (perfect) so switching back and forth is easy.
  23. Um... lemme see... Yes. And if you dont, pm me his contact.
