A regular reader saw our Gun Tattoo of the Day feature and emailed us this pic of her inked shoulder. As Sly and the Family Stone sang, it’s a family affair. “This is just the beginning of the firearms ink, my pops also has an M4 on the outside of his forearm, a ruger logo on his shoulder and the second amendment/flag/reticle sleeve on his other shoulder, Oh yeah and his matching Buckmark. We decided on the buck mark since it depicts a buck and a doe, and my first firearm was a BPS 20 ga I got for Christmas when I was 12. Me, I’m too busy shooting 3-Gun and working in the firearms industry to venture and get my next ink (the Colt Rampant). I guess you could call us Gun Nuts =]” In a good way? Shot of Dad’s arm after the jump . . .
I’ve never understood redneck’s infatuation with deer.
Which redneck?
I’d be a redneck if it weren’t for lack-of-trailer-park and Southern accent.
I’d be a hippy if it weren’t for my love of guns and fast cars.
Let’s generalize and denigrate individual POTG some more, yes, right away! /s
Gotta tattoo on my dick: Warning: will fire with no magazine inserted!
Ironic that a Ruger logo should be opposite a 2a tat, huh?
What a scumbag. He is nothing but a poacher. This wasn’t self-defense. This was deliberately provoking the moose and using it’s reaction as an excuse to kill it. Excellent object lesson to teach your children: If something, or someone, is in your way, provoke them so you can claim self defense. I hope the next one gets this guy. He deserves it. All of you who praised this guy should be ashamed of yourselves.
Think a 357 or 44 mag would have been more appropriate to carry in the woods. I carry a S&W 629 5″ just in case… 1 or 2 shots max. More economical!
Not to be a downer or anything but you should be happy if you live in a state where you can purchase a semi-automatic rifle in AR or AK configuration. Living in CA that’s a pipe dream. Having handled civiilan versions of both designs. I think the 4-9 inch accuracy at 100 yards of a lot of the originally available AK rifles put Americans off. I mean it didn’t have to have varmit rifle accuracy, but the level of accuracy was disconcerting. A certain level of “inaccuracy” is due to design. A certain amount was due to sloppy production. You give up accuracy in the AK to obtain a firearm that operates w/o a lot of maintenance. On the flip side U.S. civilians began to here a lot about the inability of the 5.56 round to effectively take the target out of the fight. Former Gen. McChrystal was famously shot in the chest with a 5.56 (accidentally not intentionally) and returned to active duty within a year. I would prefer a gas piston style rifle on the AR platform with a 6.8 round if money and ammunition availability were no object. I think you’d have the best of both worlds there. The accuracy of the AR platform, a better cartridge, and less need to keep the weapon clean. In the real world, at least for me the issue is irrelevant due to CA’s restrictive gun ownership laws.
****A moment of silence for our persecuted brethren in CA****
Sucks.
Another part of the AK’s reputation for less than stellar accuracy is the ammo that generally gets shot through them.
I’ve had some really good 7.62×39 ammo in the past, but most of it was only so-so. Try some good US production brass cased ammo in an AK some time and you might just be surprised.
I get better out of my 6.8.
If you want a better everything round in 308, 6.8BLK take it.
There will be a cartridge soon that does everything the anemic 300BLK does, only better…
Good luck to Miss Ros.Hopefully she makes it hurt bad enough that companies realize stepping on the RKBA means an expensive settlement check.
Love the ink. I can’t wait to see the rest of the tats you have planned.
I can attest that Shannon watts is ethnocentric even if she is not raciest towards all whites. Shes also nuts to. and has a condition called munchausen syndrome. were she likes to make up things and always claim some one is attacking her or and makes false reports on pepoel all the time.
a few weeks ago when dana loesch was on the tv show the view and I posted a congratulations on the views web site that it was great that they were going to have a smart real mom liek dana on there show. and also tweeted the same to danna and watts. Watts trying to get me in trouble with twitter and said that was some how a threat to commit violence or bodily hard to watts. Then watts went to my face book page which was private and the only thing she could see was my Irish pride profile picture saying I am pride to be Irish and not repentant for it. WATTS tried to actually report that to face book and wanted them to try and shut me down and report my Irish pride pic and said it was graphically violent. then once face book determined it was not in any way and nothing wrong with a pic saying I’m proud to be Irish. Watts then reported it and said it was sexual suggestive and phonographic. and tryed to demand that face book make me take it down. and then when they again found it didnt violate any terms or conditions she also went and tracked down each and every person that liked my congratulations post to Dana on the views face book page and they all also got false reports for any thing on there pages one was just a pic of a mom with her kid. that watts falsely reported as being violent. But if watts tried to actually get me in trouble for being Irish then id say yes she and her group are indeed racist against whites or at least any one thats not polish like she is.
If you haven’t been on a snow mobile or faced a moose (been there, done that) here’s some considerations:
1. Snow stays loosely packed around trees. If he’d tried to turn around off the track and retreat he may have gotten bogged down in waist deep snow and still had a moose at this back.
2. Moose are fast and unpredictable. I would have done about the same by trying to alert it far enough away to let him leave. But I think the moose wanted the track to himself (see above about loose snow).
3. Would love to know what caliber that was. I always carry Glock 22 in CO and WY, but I never expected the results he got on an animal that big. As to not having a round in the chamber, it was probably pocket carried (who buys a belt big enough to carry a holster that fits around a snow suit). Good safety call since he had to pull off mittens, reach into a pocket, etc.
So your employer can fire you for breaking work policies? Who woulda thunk it?
Final comment, I have shot all of the pistols in this review, the mustang was a great little pistol and was fun (within limits) to shoot. The Bersa should have rated better I like their pistols and the quality versus the cost seem better than average. The Tomcat usually a nice shooter and Beretta has a long history with the design. Find ammo that works and stick with that. Kel-tec seems all over the map on quality, get a good one and you’ll love it get a POS one and it will be on the table at the next gun show. I sold many as a former dealer and found them a hit or miss item. Customer support is good but just get it right the first time. The Seacamp: cute, beautifully manufactured and costs way too much. Sundance arms… another name for Lorcin, and about 13 other names for the same design and pot metal manufacture, would NEVER trust my life to one of these. Because of my large hands and long fingers the Bersa remains the only one I enjoyed shooting long term. As a dealer I used to obtain a Seecamp about once every 2-4 months wanted to keep one just because they were so well made but someone always offered me more money that I thought it worth so off it went. I still have an AMT backup in .45 if I could just get the little POS to work on a regular basis….
The first pull on a Sig might be heavier, (it is at 10.0lbs) the follow up shots are at 4.4lbs. Either in SA/DA mode, the trigger pull is MUCH smoother. Sig’s are some of the nicest guns out there, are very dependable and are in use by the Navy Seals, Air Force, etc… The S&W M&P is a striker fired pistol at 6.5lb trigger pull. I’d take the smooth 4.4lb trigger over a striker 6.5lb click trigger pull that is actually a bit spongy regarding the striker fired pistols. This takes spongyness takes some getting use to for accuracy. They are trading more rounds in the .40 for the less round in a higher caliber of the .45. I wonder why they didn’t offer for the officers to keep their Sig’s instead of the Smith and Wesson M&P’s. Now it’s a great gun and all, but when you have been married to a Sig for many years, many who of which have had this gun since 2004, it will take some getting use to. So in that case, it will take MANY times at the range, to get use to their new weapon.
Yeah i dont get it, why spend on ink when you can spend on ammunition
THIS IS ANOTHER STUPID CONCEPT ABOUT THE FURRIES,,THE FOOL WHAT PUT THIS DON´T HAVE ANY LITTLE IDEA ABOUT ARE TALKING,,JUST IT´S A STUPID WHAT BELIEVE IN TO THE OTHER DUMBS SAY,,BEFORE TO SAY SOMETHING PLEASE GET SOME INFORMATION ABOUT YOU GO TO SAY,,PEOPLE LIKE YOU IS WHO START THE BULLYNG EVERYWHERE TO GIVE WRONG INFORMATION,,I SAY TO THE ASSHOLE WHO PUT THIS YOU HAVE TO DELETE THIS AND SAY THIS WAS A STUPID JOKE WHAT I DID, BECAUSE I DO WHATEVER OTHER STUPIDS SAY,,THEY NOT HAVE SEX IN FURSUITS WHY IS THE REASON TO BROKE THE FURSUIT WHAT COST SOME THOUSAND OF DOLLARS,,YOU ARE THE WORST.
So there were no armed societies, homicides, suicides, accidental deaths, or other atrocities before guns were invented? Then yes, by all means, let’s get rid of these terrible guns! Oh, what’s that you say? Humans have been killing and raping each other since the dawn of our species? Well, maybe it’s not the guns, then…
Was the Texas man smuggling ammo for the cartels, or for the vigilantes who are resisting the cartels, because the federales are too busy (paid off) to bother?
I had to think about his encounter overnight. Unless i am hunting I always give the animals the right of way. I will shoot them if they charge me but I will do nothing to provoke them.
Last summer I was walking my son’s Plott Hound in Loveland, Colorado when a large bull Elk wondered across our path. The dog went nuts. I could have attempted to get by the field where the Elk had decided to graze but instead of trying to control an aggressive hunting dog and risk a charge I turned around and went home. Don’t taunt dangerous animals and expect them to just run away.
If I applied “stand your ground” principles to this encounter I would say the guy forfeited his rights when he closed on the Moose. Unless he had a hunting license and the encounter happened in season I would prosecute him. The fact that this is recorded on a video is indication that he was jerk, showing off for his son. If this were a legitimate exercise of self-defense against a dangerous animal I doubt that there would have been a video posted YouTube. I hope the fish and game folks look in to this.
I am seriously blown away. This is the longest conversation thread I have seen. Props to those who still are able to talk about this, I suppose. I thought the show was ok for entertainment purposes only. However, if they are coming back with another season, its seems pretty obvious that they are still making ratings. It could be said that money makes the world go ’round and possibly, that is why they are still on television. Some of the comments that I read makes me lose all faith in our education systems. I am a redneck, through and through. I chew tobacco, love my confederate flag, listen to country music, hunt with my AR15, noodle and get rowdy on the weekends. But I can still spell and punctuate for the most part. So lets not go grouping rednecks into a stereotype. I am also a vet, having fought in Afghanistan and being one of the lucky ones that got to come home. With that being said, I am ashamed at some of the responses that a few vets have posted on here. But they posted those more than a year and in some cases two years ago. So, I wont beat a dead horse. Needless to say, y’all, the show is what it is. Its entertainment. Just like wrestling, the cooking reality shows, american idol, etc. Its all BS and is most certainly scripted in most, if not all, of the situations. Thanks for your time, and God Bless.
