I was a ski bum for 6 years in Salt Lake City... my base was Little Cottonwood Canyon 😋

when we get 30+” in 24hours I ride up on the first bus w the ski patrol crew at 5am. They close the road after that first bus... I then wait for the all clear and usually we can tell which local motherfucker beat ya to specific runs cause theres only a handfull of us 😬

I skied Alta a couple times.

Amazing place.

I wasnt a bum, but skied a lot of years of 100+ days before a kid arrived.

Now the traffic is so bad its not even worth it to me since I can only ski weekends.

Once ya get that season pass your perspective changes. I didn‘t ski on weekends bc of the crowds. Well, when friends visited I'd go up w them...but I was not bussing tables or working the lifts like most of the locals. It didn‘t cost that much to rent an apartment from November till April, I basically just skiied. Rode the bus up, ski for as short as 2 runs in a day to a full day. I did it bc I wanted to be a better skiier...and putting in the time made a HUGE difference.

At the base of little cottonwood canyon was an outdoor shooting range right up against the rock quarry. I forgot the name of the place but on many cold winter days I was also the only idiot out there shooting my AW, now that I think about it... that was 30 years ago 👨‍🦳

This is why I deliberately call them all clips
My dad's a veteran, been shooting 80+ years, he calls em clips, has always called em clips. I think he's earned the right to call them whatever he wants. :)

It's sooo fun to see people rush to correct people in a place like this. It's one thing to educate people who genuinely don't know any different, it's another to be a douche. ;)

Holladay Gun Club, close and fun!! The Silhouette range was great with pistol or rifle!!

Big or Little Cottonwood Canyons were always the best skiing after the gates were closed!! Follow the bus was always the game!! Great memories all!!

In the days of barrel shrouds, bullet buttons, AR15 assault rifle/machine guns, etc., education is the first step toward enlightenment. Who better than firearm enthusiasts to the public, and each other. Better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.

And this is how we get chicks with dicks, men having babies, math is racist and the rest of the fucked up shit.
What else can you do to "earn the right" to change reality?

The first non single shot rifle he ever fired was probably an M1. You need to blame the WW2 vets who started calling everything else "clips".

That's how we got to chicks-with-clips.

They do clip into the bottom of the rifle, I wonder if that wasn't part of how it started.





Break
verb 1. separate or cause to separate into pieces

Like it does to the column of escaping gas. Muzzle break.

What are the two meanings of brake?

: a device for arresting or preventing the motion of a mechanism usually by means of friction. apply the brakes. took his foot off the brake. 2. : something used to slow down or stop movement or activity.

as in a muzzle brake

Dealer's choice I guess...

I can see both sides of this argument, at 80+ some leeway, he might still call "african americans" negro. And that is not a "bad" term, just a term used "way back when".

I know a bit apples and oranges, but the best I have off the top of my head.

I am very firm in the camp that words mean things, and agree with @DarnYankeeUSMC the correct term should be used. Everyone forgets now and again something or another.

Clip, mag, there are differences. Using the correct terms for everything I think is a issue currently. Racist and Nazi are two terms that get banted around without the real understanding of the meaning.
 
somebody or something is propping it up so they can keep spewing their bullshit.
sadly would not be surprised if somehow our taxes are used via cia cutouts...
I am sure they are getting million in ad dollars for promoting Hunter's Art sales!

But that is completely legit! Right?

Right?

I mean... right?

lol, or full page pfizer ads? i wouldn't know, since i have not seen one in years (intl. airports).
either way, ad money is typically based on distribution. since hardly anyone outside libraries get that piece of shit delivered, can't be a lot.
they can probably fake digital subscribers.

google giving 100 million.
