Just a reminder, the Democrats, who have largely exclusively pushed for gun laws, have given us the following mess:

Guns must cause ear damage -- devices which lower the sound to just below the threshold of causing ear damage are illegal.

Guns with barrels less than 16" must be designed in a way that they are extra hard to aim, making it a much higher risk that you will shoot someone accidentally... Only guns longer than 16" can be easy to aim.

Yet somehow people are baffled when I say the democrats have largely done more harm to the topic of gun control than good... every time they propose or pass a law it is complete nonsensical, largely because they dont even bother to under the very thing they want to legislate.

Just finished my application for my gun conceal carry license. I have to admit, it will be really weird walking around with a loaded firearm every day. I have a feeling anyone who sees it on me will get offended or scared, maybe not though, I guess we will see.

If you could afford any gun, what handgun, and what rifle would you get?

14 rounds from my Baretta 92x Performance (9mm) at 20 yards.

Pretty much spot on. Always funny how anti-gun nuts always pretend like gun violence is the only violence that should be reasoned about the exact opposite of every other murder.

NICE! As much as I hate the right every once in a while they do something good. Apparently now states must issue permits to carry a handgun to anyone who requests it unless they have an explicit reason not to (like they have a criminal history)... This makes all states "shall issue" states!

This is great, am really excited to see the being expanded!

I mean... some truth to that... most of the "common sense" gun laws proposed are completely ignorant of why it is the way it is.

Ok decided to up the ante on my CQC ar-15... already have the red-dot installed (posting that image again for reference)... I decided im going to ad a flip-to-side 3x magnifier (got a monstrum brand as it was the only good quality magnifier in FDE I could find). I also have 45 degree FDE iron sights ill add as a backup.

I ordered the parts, ill share the final configuration when its done!

I bought two new guns today. The first one is a judge (pictures here with my target practice). The other gun is an Hk 9mm, picture and target i follow up thread.

I reconfigured my AR-15 for CQC (Close Quarters Combat). I stripped everything off it that adds any weight, including iron sights, and moved to a Sig Sauer MSR red dot reflex.

SWEET! My license to conceal carry a firearm has just been approved!!!!

So after a bit of tweaking I finished my AR-15 CQC (Close Quarter Combat). The main issue with the old configuration was the Monstrum 3X had really poor eye-boxing and the color was off.

Changes from the earlier configuration:

  • replaced the Monstrum 3x magnifier with a Sig Sauer Juliet3 flip-to-side magnifier

  • Added hybrid 3-point sling

  • Moved red dot and juliet3 closer to the eye giving it priority over the 45 degree backup irons in terms of placement

  • Removed fingershelf from 45 degree fore grip.

I just bought a level-3 holster. I now have every level from level-3 down covered. If you were to open carry what level holster would you use?

For reference the levels are as follow:

level 1: Friction retention only (this is most holsters)

level 2: Friction retention, plus one locking mechnism (A button to release)

level 3: Friction retention, plus two locking mechanisms (usually a guard for the hammer plus a button to release the gun)

As someone who almost always open-carries guns I must say, the one thing I dont like is how certain people assume your a republican or pro-trump when they see it. Today I had an experience with a tow truck driver who was overtly racist the whole ride home and I suspect its because he saw my gun and made some assumptions.

Pro-guns is probably the only topic where I align with the right at all really.

It amazes me that a 10mm Luger bullet (middle) has about 50% MORE energy than the significantly larger .45 colt long (right).

For reference on tbe left is a 9mm parabellum.

Just bought a Kimber Rapide Dawn in 10mm. I swear it will be my last firearm for a while.

I have to say, I am rather surprised virtually everyone (I am the one voter for 3-point) prefers a 2-point sling.

One reason I love a 3-point sling is they can be used as a 2-point or 1-point with only a moments notice.

Gift access to a narrative nonfiction profile of Josh Koskoff, the lawyer who won a settlement from the maker of the gun used to kill young children and staff at Sandy Hook Elementary school. Excellent reporting on the significance of the settlement, with a preview of how Remington reacted to the use of its AR -15. I spoke extensively with the writer, Michael Steinberger. Glad to see the article in full.

Man even ive been brainwashed. Having a gun on my hip in a resteraunt full of children feels wrong even though its perfectly legal and safe... i will take a while to get used to having a license to carry.

Just got two conceal carry insurances: USCAA and Right to Bear... I figure this way if one insurance has some loophole and wont cover me I have a backup.

I wonder if a 50BMG SBR exists... I kinda want one just for the absurdity of it.
