    Best home defense is no suppressor? / zero distance

    It’s not always going to happen as you plan. I own two homes next to each other. Last week, I was in the garage of one house replacing leaf springs and rear shocks on one of my trucks. While I was in one garage working, two guys attempted to break into the other house. With the compressor going...

    I hate people

    Don’t feel bad, I was in my other house next door two days ago replacing shocks and leaf springs on one of my trucks. Two idiots came into the backyard of the other house and broke in. Good thing I set the alarm as usual even when I go next door. Even though I live in a nice quiet neighborhood...

    Pelican Vault 700 for a rifle with a folded stock?

    Pelican Storm Case im3200 or if you want it a bit deeper, im3220. I use both of these for AI rifles.

    Faking military service

    Unfortunately, as long as he is not benefiting in any way from his veteran claims, not much can be done in regards to stolen valor. What specific unit does he claim to have been attached with and when did he separate or medically retire as he is too young to have a regular retirement yet. If he...

    dangerous shotgun

    Maybe the trigger gets accidentally pulled when the bolt is accidentally released causing it to accidentally fire….Sounds like an argument from the Alec Baldwin School of Firearms Functionality. edit - Damn, srt got it before me, I type too slow.

    Bore guides - how important are they?

    Don’t use them, never have used them.

    RCBS Pro Chucker 7 reviews

    Not many folks out there reloading larger cartridges on a progressive anyway. While I use a progressive for bulk loading various handgun rounds and maybe a batch of 5.56, all of my usual rifle stuff is done single stage.

    Las Vegas smoke shop owner stabs man multiple times

    Unfortunately, employee will most likely be charged with something as guy jumping the counter was not threatening him with deadly force so some ambulance chaser is going to claim excessive force and not directly threatened so no need to stab the guy. While I am all for the response, legal folks...

    Las Vegas smoke shop owner stabs man multiple times

    If you take off that hoddie, I suppose you would see a lot of it. Stabbed him seven times. All that for blunt wrap.

    Barrett M90

    Like most things, it’s worth what you are willing to pay. That price is almost double what they cost new and they stopped making them in 1995. If you are looking for a bolt-action 50, there are better options out there but if bullpup is your thing, you are limited. I have a 99 and it’s a good...

    Day Pack Recommendations?

    https://www.lowepro.com/us-en/camera-bags/backpacks/ I use a Pro Trekker 400 AW but that is an older model. It is my usual range bag as it carries all my stuff and has a few options for carrying my RRS tripod.

    What Nightvision should I get for my SHTF bug out bag?

    Head over to JAX at the mall and max out the credit card. You could probably even carry that pizza oven if you pack it right.

    Building the Perfect Reloading Room

    At least you are in the MED so you have some decent places to visit. I would have liked to have done one final MED before I retired. My last deployment was a rather uneventful WESTPAC on the USS Peleliu in 2008 and I went on terminal leave just when the ship was heading out for another cruise in...

    Gun storage

    I use two in my 65cf safe but the smaller safes use one. I doubt the majority of gun owners have safes larger than 50cf.

    Gun storage

    Check your humidity levels and see if you even need a heat source in the safe. I hang a bullfrog rust shield in the safes and change it out once a year, no rust at all.

    DEF shortage

    I sold my 2002 F250 last year that I purchased in December of 2001. While I never had many issues with it over the years, I did not need three trucks sitting in the driveway. My 2019 F350 does not use an excessive amount of DEF but it appears as the newest trucks (2021+) use a much larger...

    Building the Perfect Reloading Room

    You know how it is. If you spend enough time in the wrong place at the right time. While it makes the shadow box look good at the end of a career, it's hard on the family situation. I think I made my last revision for a while. I switched stuff around because the wall with all of the outlets had...

    My beloved Corps. What the actual fuck!

    I served with many Marine units that had gay personnel. The only difference is that they are recognizing them in public. We had one everyone called skittles and he was way out there gay. Hands on the hip, he called everyone girl if he could get away with it. Had another one that always talked...
