Is this why Mike Pappas left?
He should try taking it out of his cabinet every once in a while…
Come on guys, if his Benelli is just ‘sitting in his gun cabinet’, you know he has more guns than that.
Hell, I’ve got two shotguns I’ve never even fired. I just bought them because the price was right.
I have dozens of guns I’ve never fired.
Doesn’t mean my Glock 22 isn’t available and ready for use….
Good for you, go ahead and sell it dumbshit.
Or, he could just watch the game for free on TV like the rest of us.
Buy a piece of junk shotgun.
Swap it.
Then scalp the tickets.
Use the money to get a good shotgun.
(That having been said, I’d have to say the dumbshit isn’t following this strategy, he could have sold the Benelli for far more than the tickets would have cost.)
Before you judge, you all know what Seattle-SF tickets are going for, right? A $500 shotgun in trade for seats would be a steal for Josh.
Where are the booth babes? Every pic from that show has some dour looking dude, come on if you want to keep up with Gunblast take some pics of the chicks.
So, its an ACOG for my AK? Since 300 BLK has similar trajectory, am I right in this?
If I was a Sherriff’s deputy in a rural county, a 10mm sidearm would make a lot of sense to me. I could engage accurately at longer range with a flat-shooting, powerful round and easily dispatch feral or wounded domestic critters that need put down. I read somewhere that Danish rangers in Greenland feel their Glock 22’s are more than adequate back-ups for polar bear.
The Balkanization of America continues .
Inside of five years, there will be two Americas .One which respects the Constitution and the principles of true Federalism , and another composed of Morlocks, wandering in the darkness and determined to force the rest of us back to the days of facist despotism.
To build on that analogy, I’d say the other side will be composed of simpletons ruled by Morlocks and imagining themselves to live in a blissful utopia where nothing bad ever happens (like being eaten by your rulers). That’s actually pretty apt. H.G. Wells FTW!

Maybe some people just don’t want to be free.
“While the passage of the NY SAFE Act was historic, it certainly wasn’t the end of our efforts to improve gun safety and end gun violence in New York.”
Does this sound like they want to compromise to you?
It’s never been about compromise.
These initiatives by the antis and the Democrats in NYS are nothing new; they are taken right out of the CA playbook and almost to the word reflect legislation that has already been effect in this state for some time.
Stand up and fight it is the only option. Support your pro 2A and gun sports state organizations including 2AF with $$$ donations and opposition contacts to representatives. There is no other option! The people who spout the ‘move away’ mantra lack foresight; there is no safe place – anywhere (well, maybe Wyoming).
This country has a mobile population; people move for many reasons – work, retirement, climate, family, fear of crime, health, whatever. The anti-gunners amongst them are like a cancer and will infest wherever they go. Colorado is a perfect example. This malignancy is, sooner or later coming to a city and suburb near you. State legislatures are based on population and since cities and ‘burbs are densely packed, they will take over the political landscape, just like has happened in CA and NY.
Fight New York, fight. Don’t let the malicious antis’ just walk all over you.
Is it just me, or do you guys find yourself at a loss for curse words when it comes to these people? I mean, we could always just go historical and tell them “Nuts!” to their compromises, but I’m more inclined to make mean comments about their nuts and how they should remove them from certain openings on themselves and of others.
But then again, I don’t know that trash talking is the way to go. I really just want to slam their fingers in a car door. Several times.
The verbiage of their release sounds like an example ripped straight from one of Anonymous Conservative’s hypothetical debates. Emotion and out-grouping, absolutely no data and the logic falls flat on its face. But the low-information masses eat this crap for breakfast and come back for lunch, so it becomes law.
I have a solution. Hang up “Rape Free Zone” signs… ummm yea…
1. Wouldn’t $10,000 worth of snub nosed revolvers do more harm than ONE $10,000 .50 BMG rifle?
2. Isn’t it hard shooting a moving target (human or plane) from more than a mile away?
3. From what I’ve read, in WWII it took around 11k rounds of .50 BMG to take out ONE plane.
Armed citizens scare the hell out of politicians. Too bad, politicians were the one’s that made it a right for us TO bear arms. Suck it Cuomo. FUAC.
According to an article in Ithaca Journal linked to on the nraila.org website,
“The Senate, which is controlled in part by Republicans, is unlikely to support any new gun laws in an election year. Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a leading gun-control advocate, had for years pushed the state Legislature to support microstamping, but the measure never got through the Senate.”
Let’s hope they are right, but hope and NY don’t go together very often.

” the heightened sense of alert Indian women have developed to protect themselves in the country’s ‘misogynist culture.’”
Yeah, a “heightened sense of alert” is one of a woman’s best protections. Right. If she can run really fast and isn’t trapped in a bus or alley by a gang of men who are larger and stronger than her. How about “God created men and women, but Sam Colt made them equal.”
To be perfectly fair I don’t have any problem with the woman’s reaction when she found the gun. She’s away from home and just rented a car that SHOULD have been checked out by the rental agents before releasing it. They are supposed to do a walk-around, to check for damage, make sure the car is clean and ready to go. If I just rented a vehicle, drove away and then found a weapon in the back I would be very suspicious and probably a little freaked out myself. Was someone trying to set me up for a crime? Did some criminal leave this and is now looking for it? They obviously know the car they had it in.
This shouldn’t be an OMG post, this needs to be a IGOTD post. According to other news stories I read the gun was said to be worth around $2300 and it does belong to Ryan Tannehill. She had the car for only a few hours and exchanged it for another, forgetting to take the rifle. She drove away and a few hours later is when she realized the rifle was gone! Not immediately, and the way it was written is seems that Ryan wasn’t in either of the vehicles.
Yeah, there’s been a lot of stories about LEOs misplacing their weapons; they are irresponsible too. KNOW where your firearms are!
I think it is a cool upgrade feature that rental company is offering:
“Comes with an AR15 for your protection”
It would be better to make out of wedlock single motherhood illegal and eliminate no fault divorce, therefore nipping in the bud the vast majority of family environments where the emotionally volatile, mentally disturbed, drop outs, drug addicts and thug culture apprentices are generated.
That would be more effective than any alleged gun “control” legislation at preventing future violence, not to mention going a long way to win the ‘war’ on poverty.
We don’t need more gun control. We need Dads and a little social shame directed at those who carelessly misuse their reproductive parts.
Remember how in the 1950s everything was all messed up when virtually everyone was married before having kids and dads were in charge and divorce was rare? Me either.
I can probably quote the libtard response “Hey man, you can’t tell people what to do or how to live.”
Oh’really? But, but…aren’t you guys trying to..nah…they wouldn’t be hypocritical like that.
Ruger’s explanation makes no sense. The new microstamping requirement only applies to new guns being added to the Roster. It does NOT affect guns already on it. Ruger could renew the guns already on the Roster if they wanted to ($200 per model to renew). They are making a choice not to and it has nothing to do with their guns being forced off the list due to microstamping.
Dangit TTAG youre making me jealous. I want to go to SHOT sooooooo bad…
