I believe people here are a bit confused about the use of less lethals.
The justification for pepper spray(less lethal) is far less than the justification for deadly force.
For instance, a guy thinks you slighted him so he gets in your face and maybe a little belly bump. In that case you are...
Yes, and she knows that.
Do you remember when Cuomo was talking about the not being able to ban weapons in "common use" when they banned "assault weapons".
He smiled and said, " sue me".
NYS CAN and WILL make as many hurdles, limitations, and requirements as they can. These will all have to be...
One day last year I realized I couldnt find my cell phone.
I sort of looked around but it seemed to be gone.
The next day a friend of mine called the land line to tell me I had left my phone at their house........4 days ago. :)
We also STILL do not have a computer at our house.
I go days, even...
Open carry and concealed carry have been c!early defined and differentiated in several SCOTUS rulings. Even though NYS law does not directly make open carry illegal, they will arrest you and probably use the " historically understood " crap to convict you.
It was clearly mentioned that states will still be allowed to restrict carry in "sensitive areas" and they can require training and they can strengthen their background checks.
In his opinion Kavanaugh said states will still be allowed to make restrictions for "sensitive areas", and they can require training and they can strengthen their background checks.
Im counting on my cat like reflexes to avoid gun fire and the pockets of my Dickies carpenter pants to carry everything.
I may rethink this in the future, but right now im concentrating on my operator skills.
Seriously yesterday I carried ammo to the range in a plastic Walmart bag. :)
Luckily...
I dont believe anyone said they were junk, but there were a couple here who said they didnt like them for whatever reason. You can look back at my original post from last May. They were the usual "fans" of other brands.
I believe Canik should not be overlooked. They are gaining a huge following...
Yep,
Like I said in my original post, I have handguns from about a dozen top makers.....glock, Ruger, S&W, Dan Wesson, HK, CZ, Beretta........
I dont really have any strong feelings about Canik, I just like to buy guns. I most likely will not get another.....there are a lot of other brands on my...
As I said in my original post, Century Arms knows this happens. They say its due to the fact that the Canik is made for foreign military and police and its recoil spring is built for 147+P and 150 grain NATO ammunition.
I have spent some time on the Canik FB groups and this is a well known...
The trigger on this one is thinner than on my glock 20.
And the trigger really is amazing too me. I have glocks, S&W, Ruger, RIA, HK, Dan Wesson and a few more, the trigger on the Canik is better than them all.
By better I mean its smoother, shorter reset and no mush.
Ive been hoarding ammo for several decades.
I learned my lesson about 5 years ago and really stocked up.
I still have many thousand 9mm......mostly 115 grain Win white box. :)
On May 5, 2021 I bought a Canik TP9 SFX.
I was in the market for a Glock 17, which the shop had, but it was a gen 3 for $565, not what I was looking for.
I came here and asked opinions on Canik and got what I expected.....a few positive but mostly negative.I did some more research and bought the...
Saw an interview with a Ruger guy.
He said they are building these like the older Marlins (70s-80s) before they went downhill. Im interested but will wait for them to iron out any issues.
Although I have only used it in my 10/22 and Wrangler single action for plinking and chipmunks, it has been 100% reliable and accurate for me. Probably 5000 rounds or better.
I also recently heard that HP ammo is just overpriced "novelty" and PROVEN to be unnecessary. Proof is that the military has used FMJ in combat for 200 years.
And over penetration is not a thing if you dont miss.
Just last night I heard that practice with your self defense handgun is NOT necessary. Because in a self defense situation you will not need or remember training because the encounter will be 2 rounds from 3 feet....no aiming or practice necessary.
This was advice given to a 23 year old guy...
I do it 100% for fun and entertainment.
I do not make posts or encourage/discourage idiots.
It is concerning that FB is where 99% of anti gunners will look at gun culture.
The amount of tough guys talking about "self defense" while posting anti leftist and anti Biden memes is a recipe to...
A couple months ago while I was bored, I decided to check out some of the gun groups on FB. I have never had a FB page or ever posted a single thing. Im there strictly for the groups.
I have never seen so much misinformation, dangerous information or argumentative bunch of keyboard warriors.
Ive...
A couple years ago our house got hit with a couple rounds during regular season.
Like the boss I am I immediately went in pursuit. Unfortunately there was no snow and my tracking abilities were not up to the task.
I do believe the perps knew what they did because I was armed and out the door in...
Years ago I found a 1960 Remington Nylon 66 at a garage sale with original box and papers which was barely fired....if ever.
I believe that was the first or second year they were made. The lady asked if $50 was too much to ask. I gladly gave her $50. I still have it along with a Nylon 66 from...
We have a big Generac...probably too big....Its a 22kw Guardian. It was a demo used in my friends store so we got a great deal on it. It runs on propane right now but I can hook it to our NG easily.
We have NG on our property.
Other than that, we have a fireplace in the house and 2 woodstoves...
We hike and camp all winter....usually on horseback. The only advice I can give is to not overdress. If you are warm and comfy to start, you will sweat and be freezing at the end of your hike. Dress so you are a bit chilly and you will warm up while walking.
Also, bring fire making supplies just...
Yesterday I saw a bunch of car parts, including a piece of plastic bumper, in the road in front of my house. Then my dogs found a HUGE doe dead in the woods just off the road. She was down a slope so I didnt see her at first.
Dang all you bow hunters!!
I havent been bow hunting in a few years....I did for 25 years or so and loved it.
I really dont know why I stopped....I have a couple bows.....older (mid 90s and mid 2000s)....but work great.
I just dont have the time to do it right anymore.
But I still always fill...
Nooooooo, she is so smart about politics, gays, abortion, marijuana, the border, purple hair and at least 1000 other leftist talking points.
She could teach you to be more tolerant about men in womens bathrooms and trannys in the military......and police violence.
And this girl lives in the...
Well that would be why I got 2. Thus has never happened before....I usually order 1 but this this time they forced me to pick an alternative and sent me two. My receipt says 1 DMP.....but I received 2.
Anyways, our area....9J always has plenty left.
I only need 1 deer but I do take 2 some...
It was just explained to me by my leftist niece that all this inflation and gas prices are due to Trump and his sanctions and him making the world hate the USA.
Oh, and that he "fucked" with the overseas oil producing countries.
Boy, she could be a politician.
The DEC gave me a bonus this year.
I ordered my tags online in August.
During checkout it asks for what WMU you want you DMP in. Sinse I only wanted one, I choose 9J. Then it asked me for an alternative in case they weren't available. Because I only wanted the one, I tried to just proceed but it...
I do not own one but a good friend uses a Phlster enigma. He must wear dress/casual at work and his gun must not be noticed. Once he learned the proper use, he loves it. And he sits most of the day.
Ironically enough when looking for a review, I see a new video from John Correa using and kinda...
Under most circumstances I would not use my gun in a situation like this.
The guy was obviously occupied....and I have a mean choke hold and I usually am wearing boots. There are a LOT of ways to "stop" someone without deadly force.
At most you would get an assault charge.....for choking a rapist.
But you are covered under justification laws....article 35.
Deadly physical force is justified when stopping a forcible rape.
The problem comes when you find out the people were in a relationship and were role playing.
But then you may be covered under the "reasonable belief" part of the law.
Absolutely.
As I mentioned, im not talking about ALL feed corn growing, but alot.
My wifes family owns one of the largest beef cattle operation in Illinois.... Yes, Illinois had a lot of beef production. :)
They have a 25,000+ head a year operation and grow most of their own feed on leased...
Agreed.
Again, my point is that vegetable farming is not as harmless as "they" say. A large vegetable farm causes catastrophic damage for miles around. And it takes a LOT of chemicals to grow large, blemish free vegetables.
My point is that vegetable growing uses WAY more harmful techniques and chemicals to grow the massive amounts of food needed to keep fresh vegetables in the stores. Feed corn for cows uses cow manure to grow, ive literally never heard of a field corn grower using anything else, its too...
