I haven't been back to R14 since they started that crap. Every time we wanted to go, it was, oh wait, I need a reservation... total PIA... I figured, by now, with everything opening back up, they would have dropped the BS, and went back to the old way.. Apparently not

Have they lightened up on the Covid BS recently? Or, is is still all the reservation crap. I need to break in some new toys, it might be just easier to go to Shooters.

I agree with you, many are probably not mentally prepared to do so. We don't know the specifics in this incident or what she was thinking or seeing. She put herself in a really bad situation, which hopefully she fixes with some additional training.

My point was, if you're going to point a gun at someone in self defense, you better be willing to pull the trigger... every time.. In this case, she could have easily been the dead one, if the perp pulled the trigger after grabbing the gun.

Wait... what??? ....."The man then allegedly wrestled the handgun the wife was using away from her and began to point it at her, prompting the husband to shoot the man at least three times." How did he get close enough to take it away??? Doesn't she know how to pull the trigger??

Actually, I really wanted to buy from the the local FFLs and support them. Either they don't respond, or the guy I went to said his suppliers couldn't get what I wanted, and he told me order online and have it shipped to him.

I just used one of my permits to buy a pistol from an online supplier, and my local guy charged me $25 for the transfer and $15 for the NICS, for a total of $40.

No. Really sad, isn't it?

He had the opportunity at a bunch in the last few years. They punted on every one.

Or crash test dummies.. I'm not sure which one.

And along with Merrick Garland as A.G., wanna take a guess what happens next: ...."But the truth is simple. Second Amendment issues have come before Garland, at least four times. He voted anti-gun every time." https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2016/05/01/merrick-garland-guns-supreme-court-second-amendment-column/83670044/

Joe Biden to Announce Six Executive Actions on Gun Control, Including "Red Flag" Laws For States to Model Joe Biden and his Marxist handlers announced six ‘initial’ executive actions on gun control Wednesday evening. Joe Biden is breaking his pledge to protect and defend the US Constitution just a few months after stealing the 2020 election. Biden’s six executive actions include: The Justice Department, within 30 days, will issue a proposed rule to help stop the proliferation of “ghost guns.” The Justice Department, within 60 days, will issue a proposed rule to make clear when a device marketed as a stabilizing brace effectively turns a pistol into a short-barreled rifle subject to the requirements of the National Firearms Act. The Justice Department, within 60 days, will publish model “red flag” legislation for states: Red flag laws allow family members or law enforcement to petition for a court order temporarily barring people in crisis from accessing firearms if they present a danger to themselves or others. The Administration is investing in evidence-based community violence interventions. The Justice Department will issue an annual report on firearms trafficking. The President will nominate David Chipman to serve as Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms. This is just the beginning of Joe Biden’s war on the Second Amendment. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/04/just-joe-biden-announce-six-executive-actions-gun-control-including-red-flag-laws-states-model/

I also pick a case of water bottles and cans of cheap soda to use as targets too, as punching holes in paper gets boring.

Yeah, I get people to dig them post holes for me.

They usually charge like $3 for the wood target stands and let you borrow a post hoe digger to put them up. We bring other targets and staple them to those stands, so we can replace when they become too "holy".

Crazy stuff!! Another day, another record! DOW crosses 33,500. That's just up just about 10% for the year, so far, 3 months in....

Ha... Remember, he who dies with the most toys wins!!! I just turned my Scorpion into a bullpup.. that's the great thing about them, you can customize and modify them so many different ways!

Ahhh, so you feel the Republicans are finally going to grow a spine, and push back, and conquer evil? Interesting.. Just remove the rose colored glasses, you'll see it. Isn't that exactly what I said in the Biden Bucks thread. Oh the irony, Joey wants to ban guns, and people are using their Biden Bucks to buy MORE!! ......"“Once the stimulus money came out, people were buying again,” said Teasdale. “Customers would come in ranting and raving about their stimulus money they just got and how Uncle Sam is helping them to buy more guns.”

Get them from sources like Craigslist and other selling sites... no record of purchase... problem solved....

I've bought from all three of those companies. No issues, they are all reputable. Jump on in, the water is fine. One of my first purchases were Zombucks (designed to look like Zombies). I bought them as a spoof, but based on the direction of the country lately, they might be more appropriate than Silver Eagles...

"Alexa, delete my Facebook account" "OK Google, delete my Facebook account" Oh, wait, I don't have either one of those... and I don't have a Fakebook account.... darn...

Another day, another hack... Looks like ALL personal information was leaked, and more than just your "Friends" know everything about you. ......"A user in a low level hacking forum on Saturday published the phone numbers and personal data of hundreds of millions of Facebook users for free online. The exposed data includes personal information of over 533 million Facebook users from 106 countries, including over 32 million records on users in the US, 11 million on users in the UK, and 6 million on users in India. It includes their phone numbers, Facebook IDs, full names, locations, birthdates, bios, and — in some cases — email addresses. Insider reviewed a sample of the leaked data and verified several records by matching known Facebook users' phone numbers with the IDs listed in the data set. We also verified records by testing email addresses from the data set in Facebook's password reset feature, which can be used to partially reveal a user's phone number. Now, the entire dataset has been posted on the hacking forum for free, making it widely available to anyone with rudimentary data skills. "Individuals signing up to a reputable company like Facebook are trusting them with their data and Facebook [is] supposed to treat the data with utmost respect," Gal said. "Users having their personal information leaked is a huge breach of trust and should be handled accordingly." https://www.businessinsider.com/stolen-data-of-533-million-facebook-users-leaked-online-2021-4

Isn't that what your lead/brass investment is for? Insurance against.... Yes. and then it doesn't.. My physical will still be here, no matter what scenario comes along.

One reason, there are tons more paper sold than available physical. If many people decide they want their physical in hand, the funds wouldn't be able to deliver it all, as it doesn't exist. Just like lead/brass, if you don't hold it, you don't own it. https://www.moneymetals.com/news/2017/05/16/paper-vs-physical-silver-market-001075

So, what's your end game? Besides just rolling around in them , what do you anticipate? Cashing in when silver/gold prices hit a certain level? If you look back at other countries that collapsed, like Venezuela or Argentina, paper currencies never went away. It just took more of them to buy what you needed. The far majority of people will default to this paper, no matter what. If they were holding gold/silver, it didn't give them many options, except to help them buy their way out of the country.
