Yeah. If you were to comply you'd have to provide the location and method of storage of every one of your firearms.

If you don't comply, probably you won't be able to buy ammo retail anymore.

ammoseek is the best way to search for vendors.

gunbroker has ammo. It's where much of it is going. You won't like the prices, but it beats fixing a bayonet (tally ho, lads).

Not going to lie, you kind of had me for a moment there. Also, we're getting to the point where manning a glory hole to obtain ammo is almost starting to sound reasonable.

No toes. Shameful trigger discipline. Bomb is not made of White Claw containers. 6/10.

At this point, the only thing anti-gun legislation decides is how many felonies I have committed today.

I am a law abiding gun owner, and the law says "shall".

I've got a Glock 20, nice enough gun (soulless plastic bullet dispensing appliance, more like). Haven't tried it with hotter loads. My understanding is they need a bit if TLC to shoot those comfortably.

Ruger's GP-100 chambered in 10mm is a pretty fun toy too. It doesn't care too much about hot loads, being a revolver and all. Probably not as practical as the same gun in 357, but it's still nice woods gun.

Agents Grogan and Dove died and may they have hot tendies in Valhalla. They died fighting violent criminals and i shan't diminish that.

Wow, it really was a different time. I'm not gonna go so far as to say the FBI ever wasn't evil (see: J. Edna Hoover), but there was a time when most of the rank and file were in fact good guys that joined up to catch bad guys. Imagine that.

I really really can't complain about the 10mm. Am a fan of the round, even if it is just a bit hipster, and I count it among the FBI's more positive contributions to our nation. Their 12" ballistic standard is a pretty good thing too.

The fact that they ultimately blamed the whole fiasco on a single 9mm slug that failed to go another inch strikes me as a giant exercise in bureaucratic bullshit that was specifically designed to prevent anyone from taking responsibility. On the other hand, I am sure plan B would have been to throw the brave men actually exchanging rounds with bank robbers under a bus.

I'm solidly behind your final conclusion. Root cause of the disaster was engaging a rifleman firing from a position of cover by rushing him with handguns. Wrong tools and tactics for the job. Give all those agents rifles of some kind and that fight would have been over a whole lot quicker.

You're in the right place. Post meeting time and GPS coordinates near an unmarked logging road of your choice.

You are going to have a tough time saving much cost over a retail Glock. It's more a paperwork simplification thing.

Deterrence Dispensed recently got knocked off Keybase. Supposedly they are or will soon be at: chat.deterrencedispensed.com/home

That's your single best source of info for advice on actual printer settings to tweak, filament types and other technical data for optimizing the print itself.

Most of the models require metal rails on the base. These are trivial to fabricate with a mill, possible to fabricate without a mill, and usually available for purchase from someone on dd.

Note that most of the models out there will be for a Gen3 Glock, so that is what you'll likely want.

Were the barn racoons to figure out how to turn a light on, you'd presumably adapt a lot quicker with a single tube setup than a dual.

Is hole over spec, or is the QD connector you are plugging into the hole under spec?

Does anyone even know what the spec actually is?

I've never taken calipers to them, but something tells me those little QD things probably have somewhat loose tolerances -- almost certainly looser than the tolerances machined into the rifle lower (though out of spec parts do happen).

Your best solution is probably to try a few different brands of connectors and find one with the tightness you want.

If you have an app feeding you solutions based on a 100 yard zero then that is the obvious choice.

Personally, I tend to zero most rifles closet to 200 though. Usually that is pretty close to giving you maximum point blank range -- ie anything inside of about 250 won't require any adjustment at all with that setup, but with a 100 yard zero you will have to dial even at 200.

There is nothing really special about the mil system. 3.43 mils is one MOA. It's kind of like measuring in meters vs yards, but for angles -- you're just using different units.

MOA is often thought of in terms of inches per hundred yards. This works well at close range, though it's actually about 1.047 inches per 100 yards, and this error becomes significant at longer ranges. The main convenience here though is if you measure ranges in yards and are close enough that your adjustments will be measured in inches.

1 MIL is 3.6 inches at 100 yards. The trick here is to notice that 100 yards is 3600 inches. There is the beauty of the MIL system -- one MIL of distance on the scope is marking out 1/1000 of the distance to the target. Looking at something at 100 feet? Those dots are 0.1 feet apart on the target. 1000 meters? Dots are 1 meter apart.

Either way though, if you are making adjustments for wind, or otherwise looking at point if impact and adjusting through your scope, it's helpful to not think about units or even ranges very much. You have dots in the scope. You have clicks in the turrets. Equate one to the other -- this many clicks equals this many dots. This applies no matter what units the angles are measured in.

The two best upgrades for any rifle are to have more ammo, and to have shot more ammo.

If your training budget is cash rather than time limited, I'd say you want one reliable rifle (you're there) and then allocate resources to being good at using it.

Pistol course probably does have more immediate value that a carbine course, but get a basic one of each ASAP. There really is very little "advanced" material. Your goal at the course is to learn exactly what movements to practice, and how to practice them correctly.

Real skill then comes from taking that knowledge and actually practicing -- 99% of that can be done in your basement without expending any ammo. Individual skills are mostly a question of building muscle memory.

Once you get that down then it's less about becoming a better shooter and more about learning basic tactics, how to coordinate with other people, etc.

A stop the bleed course is definitely a good idea. You are probably more likely to save a life that way than with a gun, statistically speaking.

Survival training depends on your area. Any chance of finding yourself innawoods? This is an area with lots of good books available, and you can safely just go try the skills. It's harder than it sounds to start a fire in adverse situation though, so you do want to get some hands on.

Put the T2 on the one rifle you are most likely to have to bet your life on some night.

Better yet, set that one up to be a bit more versatile and do all your training with it too. Or sell some stuff and put another T2 on whatever other rifle you feel scratches the general purpose itch.

Nothing wrong with having as many fun guns as you want, but for serious use you are better off training with just one, or two identical ones, or two that are as identical as possible. You want those to be as reliable as possible.

Nah, he probably just took a look around, really thought about his current situation, and has decided the best thing he can do for his country at this exact moment is suck start that rifle.

Because sometimes optics do matter.

What was it? Couple of full auto Glocks? Video was too dark to tell for sure.

Asking for a friend. The one you can hear pounding on the door in the background, and who in the full video can be heard getting cuffed by local cops and crying and whimpering about how his wife is pregnant and he just wants to show his creds.
