Somebody else was scanning drudge report today.

Option #2.... I am going to run with the thought this is happening at 0 dark 30. I train with firearms for one main reason, to protect my family. They are the only things that matter to me, all the rest ofthe stuff in my life is fluff. The only reason I really like my house is the landing at the top of my stairs, is perfectly situated for me as a left hander to commandt the center of my home and the access to the upstairs. I also have light controls available to me, and I am the obstacle between BG and my kids. The wife knows to roll out side of bed and call 911 and to stay down. The entire time I am covering the stairwell, while somewhat behined concealement / cover, i am calling out that the police are on their way, take what you want, the TV is easy to remove, the computer is in the den, there are expensive tools in the workroom, but do not attemtp to come upstairs or you will be shot many times with a large caliber firearm. I hope they try take it all. It is all insured and replaceable. The amount will slow them down, easier for the LEO to track and eventually they will be caught trying to pawn the items. But do not come near the stairwell. The things that scares me about Option 1 is the mistakes that can be made are potentially deadly for me, my family or one of my idiot buddies that thinks it would be fun to wake me up in the middle of the night and sneak in our house. I will leave Option 1 to the guys who dont get paid enough, yet do that job.

...and Yankees have the nuts to think southern boys do some stupid shite!

I don't know enough about this subject to really discuss in depth... I do know it sucks big donkey balls. That is the tech term by the way.

Word out of NRC Task Force is that the meltdown scenario is being overblown... but we shall see.

Ron I have acess codes.....

hammer or nail?

Nowhere far. I have a nice secure facility picked out with 14" fencing and a 25" free standing wall on one side. just gonna hunker down there and protect mine.

Guys... checkin in now. Got to work here at FEMA Region III at 5am. Monitoring only now, but our first repsonse team is moving to the west coast now. The USAR Team 1 from Virginia is on the move also. It is really bad. We just got imagery from a AF Recon flight and there are hundreds of bodies floating in the water. This is not pretty for the folks of Japan. Hawaii is getting about 6 foot swells and has a pretty decent pull back going on the western island. They expect so far no serious damages in Hawaii, but they are very uncertain. Alaskan Island were in play also, but so far have had no effects.

Guys, Anyone in the Pine Brook, Little Falls and Pompton Plains low lying areas please take care. Major flooding is expected in those areas within the next 48 hours.

What longun do you shoot regularly? If a garand or M1a... gets the 200s.... if an AR, the 100s. If an AK... your one your own.

Zombie Ants? I dont have a BB gun!

+100 to Wojo's advice. Here is a little review I did concerning my rem 597 with Techsites. It is perfect. I shot 100rds of CCI MiniMags and about 50 Fed Bulk. No FTF or FTEs. Put a 9" paper plate with a 2" black dot in the middle and a 10m air gun target with 4 3" circles at 25yards. First shot on the paper plate was to see if I was even close to paper. The shot was 4 inches high and dead center. Cranked the sights down about 32 clicks and bingo. Did not move them again. I wish I had taken a camera. 18 shots in a quarter hole. I then proceeded to just tear the target middles up. When I switched to the Feds there was a noticeable difference in accuracy side to side. They were perfect in elevation, same POI as the MiniMags, but they were left and right spread out to about 2". Curious as to why? But I had a great time and was able to see the targets real well with the Techsites. My friend was there with his stock 597 and you could really tell the difference. The stock sites with the white dot front is just not fine enough at distance and blurs out with light colored backgrounds. I could not shoot half was well with the stock sights and when my friend tried mine he instanly googled Techsites.

brutal

excellent. get signed in

As a total cheap a**, I will pipe in here. I try to go every week. I shoot about 50-100 rds per if 9mm. From there it really depends on caliber. .45... maybe 50. Same with 10mm. I will try to make my practice really count for more with those calibers. Rifle, totally depends on caliber versus current inventory in hy house. If I had 30-06 I would be stingy with it. 5.56... somewhat blaze away. Now, for fun... get a .22 rifle or handgun. First because it will let you work on your shoting skills without hurting your pocketbook. Practice, buy another brick, practice some more then repeat. Get a good .22 rifle to fine tune your rifle skills. Get a dedicated .22lr upper or a whole handgun. Work on trigger control more then anything else. 1 hour will cost less then $5.

killing me...

oh no.... might be going back to an AR. Wait a minute... WTF, why is the left side of trigger well blocked off? I would not be able to use this. Lefty bias ... Lefty bias... I will sue! Oh... there is a left handed model. Ok now I want one.

Ray... see my above posts about "Gun Store Wannabe Commandos". I swear I heard "All operators use SIGS exclusively." from one of their shills. And I think this guy works there.

Wanted to update this thread. I of course puchased something off ebay before I found this chart. Not my work, but anothers. I admittedly was not looking to spend over a certain amount on a product I was not going to wear much nor abuse like a soldier would. I am just some fat guy that likes to shoot on weekends, not some operator, so I dont feel the need to spend like one at times. And I am ok buying this product 4 times and I still will not equal the cost of some rigs. If I am still shooting when I am on my 4th vest I will be amazed. I am digesting this info currently, it is a ton of data to process. I thought others might like it. http://bit.ly/8DYJl4 This was admittedly inspired by the M4 comparison chart http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pwswheghNQsEuEhjFwPrgTA#gid=2 Here is what I bought. Molle II with Pouches by THE SPECAILTY GROUP INC . U.S.A. My model is the Core Rifleman System and supposedly is the current version of the US Army issue MOLLE II FIGHTING LOAD CARRIER system. Probably ebay BS. This system contains the following items: (1) Fighting Load Carrier (FLC) MOLLE - ADJUSTABLE (2) ITW-Fastex Grimloc Carabiners - NSN 8465-01-525-0577 - #4117 UC (2) Canteen/Utility Pouches - NSN 8465-01-525-0585 - #4015 UC MOLLE (3) CQB Double 30 Round Mag Pouches - NSN 8465-01-524-0606 - #4050 UC MOLLE (2) Frag Pouches - NSN 8465-01-525-0589 - #4130 UC MOLLE Pic below. I have not even messed with it much yet. I hope to tear it apart tonight and move the ouches around and see what i like and dont like. I do want to add a shotshell pouch to this and possibly a larger compartment on the back.

Glad to see your boy with a smile. Sorry it rained.. but you cant predict when the British will arrive can you? I think the April shoot is going to be well attended. I have four possibly 6 people looking to attend. I hope more come out from NJGF.

Wojo, I was thinkning about you all Sunday during the harder rain spells. I am glad youall made it through and the weekend was a success. How many shooters were there? Did any qualify?

sorry to hear. I guess onto fed, american eagle, wolf or winchester now. I have had good luck with the Dynapoints.

Nothing... i am just an old man and need better sights in my declining years. I want to shoot irons at the Appleseed shoot and the GSG is just not precise enough for me. I LOVE the GSG. It is absolutely the most fun you can have with your clothes on. By the way here is a little range report on the 597 with TechSite. It is perfect. I shot 100rds of CCI MiniMags and about 50 Fed Bulk. No FTF or FTEs. Put a 9" paper plate with a 2" black dot in the middle and a 10m air gun target with 4 3" circles at 25yards. First shot on the paper plate was to see if I was even close to paper.

@px4 .. sorry man I thought the GSG would suffice, but it falls short. Had to get another. By the way, the Red Dot needed a picatiny rail to mount. It is a Dicks throw in, not remington, which I did not know until I called Remington to ask for a rail. Instead of the rail, which they suggested I acquire from Midway, they CS rep asked if I needed anything else. I said I would go ahead and order 3 mags.... he sent them free of charge. Nice doin business with you Remington.
