The S&W 500 has quite the kick eh? I'm glad when I tried it I only bought one box of ammo - had no desire to put any more through it.

One of the many reasons I will never move to CA.

Also for comparison, a 12g shotgun's felt recoil is nicely cushioned by your shoulder (and perhaps a further pad) while the .500 has only the meat of your hands to absorb the energy before it transfers to your arms....

Not to mention the weight of the firearm itself, and perhaps the semiautomatic action cycling (unless its a pump etc)

Has anyone on here been to the Sportsman gun range in Grapevine, TX, or Frisco Gun Club? I took my grandkids there last month to shot off some 9mm rounds. We all had a blast!

That is a little ways away from me!
I think the babysitter mentality of the current generations is ridiculous My335iTT. There is absolutely no reason to not allow firearms everywhere. They are not any more offensive than pictures of cars (cause you know, people DO kill with cars as well).

is it a club or some sort? He usually goes to one in Plano, i venture not as nice but convenient. When i thin the herd, it goes to Plano for him to complete the transfer. Haven't heard any complaints about the culled. He did say once "i'll need to get a bigger safe", and I said, "do you want me to stop", . . . . . .it was quiet for a slight moment, and I heard "I'll go to Cabelas, tomorrow"

Thats nonsens to compare the rate of death by cars to the amount of dead people who got shot and relate this to the allowed pictures. Into some certain spaces and areas it makes sense to forbid firearms and its also not the dumbest idea to deny the sell and the ccw to some humans who are not be able to differ between this. Just saying...

1. Unconstitutional 2. Those areas are the one's law abiding citizens need them the most. Criminals dont follow the laws. Repeat felons cause 90% of the gun crime. Maybe the would think twice or maybe helpless victims wouldnt be helpless if they had tgem. Ccw permits are only issued to trained clean criminal record citizens. This group is the lowest measurable gin crime group of any segment of the population. Lower even than police. Want to make laws that stop gun crime? Add stiffer manditory penalties to those who commit gun crime, so they can't do it 5, y, 7+ times like they currently do in places like Chicago and New Orleans instead of worrying about a picture of a piece of metal. With you posting to at 5 in the morning I wonder if you are even in the USA or a country that allows you to own firearms. |

My SCAR 17 and AR after being raped by the CA DOJ
These still have their bullet buttons, I had to order a new spring for the SCAR, the bullet button spring is shorter then the spring used on the normal ambi mag release. With the AR I am going to have to modify my bullet button wrench to get it out, I bought this rifle as a CA compliant rifle and they must have a different tool that makes it more difficult to change the mag release. The changes are: -non-adjustable stock, i put a new fixed stock on the AR, I don't like it, the length of pull is short. And just put a lego behind the button on the scar. -Change out the 'flash hider' for a muzzle brake -sharkfin on the grip so you can't wrap your thumb around it -ambi safety on the AR (Standard on the SCAR) for convenience In addition to the longer spring, I have also ordered a new longer and angled charging handle for the SCAR so I can swap it back to the other (non-ejection port) side so I can manipulate it with my 'weak' hand without bloodying my knuckles on the scope base. I am considering a new stock on the SCAR, something with a QD would be nice. Last edited by KenB925; 07-19-2017 at 11:12 AM.. |

I do tend to agree with your second point though - there are some extremely dumb humans out there who have no business carrying because I think they are dumb enough to use it, which means they go to jail, which means the taxpayers pay to support them, which doesn't seem fair to taxpayers. But given it is covered under the Second Amendment, not much you can do about these humans. Plus, I think there are certain places where firearms can be prohibited - the White House for one example. No need for a firearm there by Joe Public. On the flip side, I also understand the argument that an armed person is better able to protect him / herself against a criminal. I think the problem I would have is always second guessing myself in that circumstance as to whether I legally COULD shoot that person (if I were American) and that hesitation might be fatal to someone else or me. But certainly I agree with the point that criminals do not follow laws, therefore, outlawing guns will not prevent them from using them. So there is no point in outlawing guns. While I enjoy using firearms, I struggle daily with whether I'd prefer to be allowed to carry up here, or keep existing laws. I really don't know which is better. Certainly when I'm out in the woods I'd feel more comfortable carrying for wildlife, but I've never had a situation where I felt uncomfortable in public or in any danger. Plus, even if I could carry, would I? I would imagine it is not always comfortable. Anyways, I think people think you are a proponent of outlawing firearms, but I don't know that you are really saying that. And aren't you the one that asked about the possibility of getting a firearm for a few weeks while on vacation in USA and then selling it? And that you are reasonably proficient in their use? |
