Still under investigation, but you're prob right. Still... too close to home when you consider that there are very few homes in a 1 miles radius from me. Everybody has 15-40 acres or more each. Right across from me has 1800 acres.
I grab whatever is handy at the time, Glock, AR, MAC90, Shorty 12G, .410... just depends on where Im at in the house at the time of the tripwire. And yes, I am a responsible gun owner. I don't like it any more than you do, but it is what it is. And if I saw an active shooter in your kids school, you can bet your ass Im gonna take him out.Yes if only there were more guns in that situation huh?I know lots of responsible gun owners. No one thinks they’re all bad. But didn’t you feel the handgun was sufficient for your situation? I think most issues in this thread are about AR (or whatever they’re called paddy) style guns. Military style weapons.
Also I don’t think more guns is the answer to the problem. Having more responsible gun owners (like you seem to be) stand up to the republicans politicians and say enough is enough. Have some common sense that the other party is not trying to take ALL your guns and bust out some legislation so my kids can go to school without active shooter drills. Thanks
Ponder that thought.
It's hard enough to stay steady when you get too excited let alone worrying about what's behind you. Some call it Buck Fever.
We all look out for each other... if we see something weird, we reach out. Like another time an un tagged van was going around trying to sell "cleaning products".... that just doesn't happen around here. The Sheriffs Dept. got many calls from a 5-6 mile radius of me. They hit my place, but it didn't take long for them to leave if you know what I mean.
We had BB gun fights with .22's, .32's and ought sixes in our teens. And my cousin admitted to pissing his fatigues in Somalia.
I’m retiring my .45 in favor of some bear spray.
Look into wasp and hornet spray. 20+ foot pin point stream of less than lethal FDA approved version of mace. And pennies on the dollar compared to less effective capsacin as many mammals are less than responsive to it.
LOL!.. I have no doubt about that!
no, it's this image you gave us of an Oklahoma where a FedEx delivery driver has to put his life on the line for every package he delivers. Also the image of behind every door is some fearful old man ready to gun down every person who rings his doorbell.
Statistically, you're right. As I have said, it doesn't happen very often, but again... we ARE the police. I know its hard to wrap your brain around how and where we live and how little contact we have at the door. I guess you'd never know or understand until you are in that environment, and don't get me wrong... it happens very rarely. But, I'd rather be ready than not. We have no police, and I'd do anything to protect my family, and yours. I have no aggression or desire to take someone down, but if there is a threat, it's my job to neutralize it.
We should ban the sale of current use military grade weapons, ammo, and armor to civilians, period, until they are deemed safe for public ownership by a committee that should be not only bipartisan, but also at least half actual experts who can supply facts on demand, and not be bullshitted by corporate cocksuckers.No, this new military style weapon would vaporize anybody with one of those things before they could even get close.
The US Army's new assault rifle coming to local gun stores
Sig Sauer's MCX Spear is designed to punch through body armor at range. Selling to the general public concerns gun regulation advocates.
"It has to bring a significant change to warfare. It has to be lighter. You have to get the range. You have to get the terminal ballistic," explained Sig Sauer CEO Ron Cohen in the promotional video.
The Army’s new rifle is now for sale to the general public, both under the MCX Spear and XM5 names. It currently sells for $8,000. Various vendors we talked to at the Dulles gun show expect that price to go down by half in the coming years.
It can be accurate up to a thousand yards with enough power to punch through nearly all body armor according to the US Army. The Army says it wanted the new .277 Fury round because the Army’s current round, the 5.56 NATO, often fails to punch through enemy body armor at long range.
"There are probably almost no law enforcement agencies, probably almost no domestic police agencies, that are set to have body armor set to defend against the .277 Fury," added Busse.
While police vests can be pierced with current AR-15 rounds, the rounds the MCX Spear shoots are specifically designed to pierce through all but the toughest body armor, according to the US Army.

So, here it is. A lighter, more powerful and more deadly military style assault weapon is already available to mass killers near you. Police wearing body armor will be vulnerable to it.
Should we nip this one in the bud and put the semi-automatic version of this gun in the same category as military style automatic weapons.?
If the democrats win a major majority in both houses and take the White House as well, they may have time, amid the mundane things that have to be done, to enact some major legislation on voting rights, reproductive, gender, and social rights, campaign finance reform, and some gun issues.
no, you just don't get it. Not ban. People afflicted with fear if they don't have a gun at hand aren't going to give up their unreasonable fear or gun and will fight back. Besides for the most part it's an unreasonable fear on both sides. It is rare that they will commit homicide and rarer still that they need to defend themselves.
I'm assuming you just set the bong down... just ribbin' you man. Snakes and shit...... or did I just set the bong down?
the reptiles will be even more pacific if someone feeds them RattleSnacks ™️
That isn't going to happen so stop it with the gun fantasies. What you are expressing is irrrational fear.
