Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

I appoligize for being late to the conversation, but these are all good points.
But I want to add, ...I know a woman who is gluten intolerant. I really thought this was a ploy to make her feel special. However I ran into her a couple mounts later, and (you know where the conversation went), she told me she now orders European flour through Amazon and now enjoys (homebaked) cookies, biscuits, and such. After a little research, I'm pretty sure the problem is the chemicals that are sprayed on the wheat that is grown here. Carry that over to all the foods we buy at Safeway...Albertsons... etc.
I'm not trying to sound like a prepper, but wild game has been a main stay in my (and my kids) diet for a long time.

'just sayin...
This is the underlying truth about food in North America. It is essentially low key poison for many of us. Probably driven mostly by profit margin goals from food corps. Not only the chemicals, but GMO work, driven again by profit margin goals.

Most 'gun' state in the USA?

I have a friend traveling from the UK to Vegas to get married. I bought him a pistol class with a range out there I get on with, and he declined because he wanted to 'stay away from guns' in the post Charlie Kirk situation.

I thought to myself 'good luck pal, you're in the gunniest state in America', then wondered how accurate that really is.

I'm just a dumb Brit, so I know a little bit but not much depth. Off top of my head, I thought AZ was pretty free when it comes to guns - is full auto still legal there?

Then I thought maybe TX because FREEDOM and so on.

Then I thought TN has a pretty rich history in firearms too.

Does MA win because of the armoury?

So, which state is the most 2a, and why?
Your friend is logically unsound. That is the important point in this conversation, not some anecdotal 2nd amendment discussion. I know the water gets deep real quick, but living in a dream world only works until reality imposes its will on a life. Choose whether or not you want to participate in the fantasy your friend lives everyday. No need for confrontation, just drift away from those who do not have the ability to add support during “ unscheduled reality drills”.

Sidearms & Scatterguns Red dot or not on your "life or death" pistol?

Out to about 7 yards, I'm faster and just as accurate at speed with irons. I feel hindered with a dot at 7 yards and in.

Dots definitely have and advantage at distances beyond that. A lot of people that shoot dots regularly like in the shooting sports develop a good index through repetition to find the dot fast from the draw. A dot on a smaller carry gun that you don't shoot often might present a problem finding the dot in a hurry.
You dont find the dot. You focus on your target and bring the pistol up and the dot superimposes on the target. you dont focus on the dot like you do a front sight.

Sidearms & Scatterguns Handguns...show 'em

I traded my sti 2011 for the PDP and M&P so I guess the 2011 is out.

To explain, I have big hands 2xl gloves. My hands are too wide to fit the 2011 grip and my hands force the beaver tail up preventing the grip safety being engaged. Otherwise the trigger was amazing and very accurate gun.

I have come to appreciate the newer striker guns. No safetys, no DA/SA trigger, and pretty amazing triggers with a little work. And now with the PDP steel frame I can have the weight that I like as well.

I haven’t shot the M&P yet but I did compete with M&P’s for years with the Gen 1 and always liked them.

Finger banging these 2, the triggers are really close with the PDP having a little less take up and a faster shorter reset. I prefer the extra weight of the PDP. The M&P points slightly better for me.

Is it time to panic about my twist rate being too fast?

If you know where I can get 200 gr TA bullets shoot me the link.

The only reason I was worried about the barrel is the hunt is coming up and I might not have time to do load workup. If this was two months ago I would have just used a larger bullet.
just buy a couple boxes of federal 200g TA ammo and be done with it. I don’t reload.
300wsm 200gr TA - on sale too

Couple new toys from this weekend. Won the local steel challenge with the PDP SF today. Thing freaking rocks!
I have been thinking about picking up m&p, pdp or possibly a canik rival for carry optics and 2k11 for limited optics.

Which one do you prefer?

There is a little local match, I was going to try to shoot as much as possible, for trigger time, until I feel like 8 can do tactical games.
