I wonder if he ever got himself the AR he wanted before they were “banned”..I am sure he managed to get everything he wanted.
No doubt he managed to quietly acquire what he wanted.
Guns for me but none for thee.
Slick talking biggot, he is. Another snake oil salesman doing Bloomies bidding.
And millington is primarily a training base for aviation units (Navy and Marine) Kind of like great Lakes in Chicago. Almost all Young recruits/first year in the service guys and instructors.
Must be great to be The ruler of the Earth and soooo much better then us uneducated low class folks. We don’t understand that having to work 14hrs a day and have your kids medicated so they can’t think on their own. And the food has so much bad stuff in it your family needs medical treatment you can’t get. It’s not the guns, it’s the rich that rule us.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
My Mosin-Nagant is Ivan and my Winchester1892 is Clem but nothing in the safe made after 1950 is old enough to have a name. PS -love the Jayne reference
To clarify, Naval Security also carries their m9 condition 1, weapons carried in condition 3 are the M16/4 and the Mossy 500 (rounds in tube but not in chamber)
When I carry in the Army as a guard it’s in condition 3 or as we call it “yellow”. I don’t know if the DOD cops or gate guards do this as well.
I call my LCP Elsie Pea, but I do not think that counts.
My Pop’s said that his Starlight scope is what saved his life while serving in Vietnam.
His greatest words of wisdom in warfare were always, “You want to see them before they see you”.
Suggestion for sequel to this post: “Naming Your Kids After Guns (And Don’t Tell Me You Haven’t Thought About It).”
I would change the first part to:
“State that encourage concealed carry with every handgun sale”
By saying states that have concealed carry laws, seems to lean towards place like CA where concealed carry permits are difficult, and expensive.
Nope.
It should say “killed” instead of “are shot to death…” quote.
The issue is the guns are bad belief system. The anti’s like telling other people what to do and can’t stand the notion that an individual can be an independent responsible authority.
My LMT MWS.
Anduril. The flame of the west. Not because I think I am a king (pfff), but because I look at it as a great example of what western civilization is capable of.
I have had one for a year now. My wife got me the exact target that was reviewed for my Birthday last December and it is awesome. It is not lightweight, but is very robust, so one would expect it to be a little on the heavier side to stand up to the heavy calibers and high velocity rounds at both close and long range. That being said, for those who might be worried about carrying it back and forth to the range, it completely breaks down into four pieces and can be stored in your car trunk laying completely flat without taking up any space. I keep mine in the bed of my pickup. Highly recommended
No gun naming thread is complete without this video:

Given the different versions of the story I’ve read over the past few days, I am not entirely confident in the cops version of the truth. Kinda like the guy in Dallas why “lunged at the cops with a knife” and was shot… but the video from the camera that was on a neighbor’s house showed him standing still with his arms by his side when he was shot. So, the police said they shouted three times for him to drop it (probably because that’s policy), but I read an eyewitness said twice. Then he was turning to them, then facing them, and now, pointing the weapon at them before they fired. And it was multiple shots from multiple officers, no three shots and three hits. My question.. how long did they wait from the last “drop it” to dispensing lead justice? Cops do a hard job, but they aren’t perfect
Oh, please. Tempest-in-a-teapot, much?
California simply isn’t an open carry state. Whether it should be, whether we should be able to carry openly, or at all, is moot in this case. As in many things, until or unless the law of the land has been changed, one simply cannot walk around with a weapon of any sort on display. [Unless you have a badge, of course.]
This wasn’t an organized protest of the infringement on our 2nd Amendment rights. It was a stupid kid, carrying what virtually anyone would have thought was an AK, failing to obey the cops.
Trying to make this anything more is just silly. Surely, there are better examples of police brutality and excessive use of force that are further from this clear-cut case of “suicide by stupidity” that TTAG and it’s readers could use their bandwidth on?
505: If, in the incredible excitement of such an opportunity, there was a chance you noticed: Did you take care that the shells were loaded in the magazine with the next shell rim forward of the one below for smooth feeding? Or does his handwork somehow make that a non-issue?
Not good. I have used Tasers and pepper spray when a lethal response was warranted. I don’t see why they couldn’t have done that.
$1100???!!!!! Way too much for what would be a range toy for me. Might be the kind of gun I’d rent at the range, but definitely not on my buy list.
All of my purchases begin with an application in mind: I decide that I want a firearm to deal with a particular problem. That problem could be defending my family from a home invader in the dark. Or it could be wanting an extended season to hunt deer, etc. Then I begin research. I want to get an idea of the pros and cons of different types of firearms for my application. After weighing the pros and cons and choosing a specific type and caliber, I look to see if any manufacturers make that type and caliber of firearm. Next, I screen out firearms that I cannot afford or that are effectively not available. Then, I seek out actual customer reviews of any firearms that are available, affordable, and meet the needs of my application. Finally, armed with customer reviews, I actually find any firearms that made it that far in my process so I can touch and feel them. If two or more firearms are somewhat similarly priced, I obviously choose the one that fits and feels better and appears to be manufactured correctly (function, fit, and finish).
Case in point. I wanted a handgun that could reliably drop deer out to at least 50 yards, and preferably 75 yards. According to my research, the only calibers that work for that application are .44 Magnum, .454 Casull, and some even larger calibers. Then my research indicated that .454 Casull and larger calibers generate brutal recoil. Furthermore, ammunition is expensive and hard to find. So I settled on .44 Magnum revolver with at least a 6 inch barrel. Now which one? The only practical choices that were readily available near my home were Ruger Super Redhawks, Smith and Wesson Model 629s, and Taurus Raging Bulls. Customer reviews indicated that all three revolvers were fine, reliable firearms and all three companies are reputable. So I handled all of them. All of them felt good in my hand. And fit and finish seemed to be excellent on all three. My final choice was the Taurus Raging Bull for three reasons. First, it’s single action and double action trigger was outstanding. Second, the Raging Bull has a ported barrel which helps reduce recoil. Third, it was about $200 less expensive than either the Ruger or Smith and Wesson. At that point the decision is pretty obvious.
Now if only there were a similar graph showing the same numbers (75% approval) of concealed carry — kind of like if 40 out of 50 states were shall issue. Oh, wait …
I bought my Ruger Scout around Thanksgiving 2012 and I am very satisfied with it. Some think the Scout doesn’t have enough accuracy because of the short barrel. I can’t speak for anyone else, but I’ve been consistently hitting a torso-sized steel plate at 300 yards with iron sights. Some think that a bolt-action rifle just doesn’t have any place in a semi-automatic world. I think a bolt-action rifle is the perfect hunting or survival weapon. I don’t think you could get a failure to feed, or eject, if you tried.
