5 minutes isn't long enough.

Not to be rude, but I ask only for the sake of discussing. Statistically, from what I was able to ascertain, the average number of rounds fired in a self defense situation by an average citizen is from 3-7 rounds per incident. Merging what I was able to find regarding those at a higher...

Interesting configuration, if I read it correctly. A 380 styled like a 1911, in a compact. Never saw one b4.

Congratulations. What made you go with the sig in 380, going to be on of your EDC?

Would likely to hear a breakdown from an office perspective

As possibly said here before, this, to me, is a play on optics, political theater, and a chess game. To fully explain would take pages, but this is just one move in a long game to November. Political positioning and optics. And a well played move on his part, legal or not.

3 deadly shootings in 5 years. The statistical average number of police who draw their weapon and fire in self defense in thier career is 24%. 76% never fire in fear for thier life. Remember, other factors will influence this ( area they patrol, ECT), but 3 deadly shootings in 5 years seems...

Guess it will. E a fixed stock with the 5 or 6 round tube then. thanks all

Simple question. Is a Benelli M4 ( I think the M1014 with collapsible stock and extensions tube with pistol grip) safe act legal in NY? Got my eyes on it....

My heart breaks for the miss on the Beneli m4. 1899 now at sportsman's warehouse without upgrades. It's the shotgun on my radar in the future, and I would be kicking myself now if I knew I could have gotten it for 700. Hell, even my wife knows it a firearm in my future, of course without...

Yes, on a few occasions. In the beginning it was mostly user error. I also had to deal with 1 defective loader. It has been fairly infrequent now, with practice. To out a number to it? Out of 1200 rounds, or 120 times reloading, I would say its happened on less than 5 occasions, with only 1...

Welcome

I agree to some parts, but as a whole disagree. I am actually smiling at the fact that someone other than me sees market solutions as a viable alternative to solve government intervention and legislation, but I also don't think it applies to all scenarios. EX- the removal of many restrictions...

Asking for your observation from the other side. Mine has features and a fixed mag ( optics, flashlight, laser ECT) but have multiple speed loaders loaded and ready to go in a moment's notice. I have also regularly practiced speedy reloads using them. From my view, respectfully, I see very...

Many of us smart people still make poor choices LOL.

We sound similar. I'm 52, also live near Rochester, bought my first 2 guns recently ( an AR 15 in May and a Henry golden boy lever action. 22 exactly 1 week ago) and also dont wish to deal with the judgement. IMO all firearms owners need to be supportive of all other firearms owners, as we...

All good!

Thank you for the insight. A friend and I seriously considered them, as he is a senior and would recieve the discount and would split the cost, i would only go as a guest, but eventually declined. Partially due to price, but heavily weighted on the conversation I had with 2 random members in...

This supports without question what I stated in my post, using facts and statistics. Proof positive.

Unfortunately those who will remain, until retirement as I will have to, will be amongst those who you consider dumbass half wits. Do you reside in NY? Will you be leaving? Many of us here reside in the state, sometimes without choice due to circumstances beyond our control. And I personally...

No offense intended if your a member, but I found it to be lackluster due to costs and requirements. If I'm wrong, please enlighten me, as my experience with 2 members while doing some fact finding was far less than stellar.

Yes . Genesee Conservation League. Be prepared for lots of cash outlay ( first time memberships plus annual fee around 300), required classes b4 any shooting occurs, and IME, a lot of fudds. It's also my belief that no matter when you join, the full membership cost is due, no prorated fees...

Couldn't be more true. Look at the counties that voted for Cuomo in the last gubernatorial election, and those that didn't. He carried, correct me if I'm wrong, less than 10 counties yet won the election, and those were the counties that surrounded NYC.

Report from near Rochester today regarding. 223, 5.56 and .22 Runnings in Brockport has a small supply. 22 in shorts. No .223 or 5.56 Sportsman's Warehouse had none of the above. Same reported regarding Dicks in Greece, although they did reveal they receive shipments on Mondays and Thursdays...

Second this. Guy had no chance to obey verbal commands. Nervous new cop , 3 years on the force, itchy trigger, bad shoot.....very bad.

Jack....its simple. Now is not the time. Even if you find one in the sub 1k range ( as I did during written this post on Gun Broker, specifically the Sig Sauer m400 tread, which was 950) findings ammunition at reasonable prices ( that itself is funny) the quantity you may be able to purchase...

From the New York Post, itself a left leaning newspaper, this.... https://nypost.com/2020/08/05/bidens-mental-ability-a-campaign-issue-that-cant-be-ignored-devine/ Potentially admitting defeat in November?

Almost forgot about that. Cuomo couldn be the pick

Unreal.

This would be incredible.....if they are willing to spend millions and decades of time to untangle the web of legislation already in place. Unfortunately, winning that lottery is fairly unlikely. What's more likely? Getting mauled by a polar bear AND a grizzly bear during a lightning storm...

And just look how well they have represented the 3 areas they currently reside in. Hmm.....they must have blinders on....

I'm sorry to hear about this. I've been there also with my father in law. Its terrible to see. Our condolences.

Dinner and drinks come with expectations.... Stay on the friend zone.......out of NY

1899 @ sportsman's warehouse.

Found this. Its gorgeous.

If it's so well made, how was a friend able to convince you to not purchase it? Honest inquiry, no offense intended.

I also want to know. Been eyeing this up for awhile. Is any Benelli truly worth that much?

This is so true and sad, wrapped up in a sentence

Has there ever been a time in history wherein Vice presidential candidates have had so much clout in an election? I certainly can recall any. This excludes Ford, as Watergate obviously was post election.

Cant say I hadn't thought of this numerous times

The severity of his decline should be concerning for everyone. This, is the best they have?

Unfortunately. And wouldn't even be aware he did.

I mean would potentially self destruct. Dam auto correct

Agreed. I wonder if Bidens strategy of keeping quiet mostly would actually work well for DT, meaning let biden talk himself out of the election. Most people I've spoken to dislike DT for his brash and harsh commentary on situations. If he kept a bit more quiet, biden wouldn't potentially self...

What would be interesting would be a total number of nics checks YTD. Mentioned to my wife yesterday that this alone may have a huge bearing on the election ( if many are new gun owners). Thoughts?

Almost funny I stumbled in my own sentence.

This gets interesting for me. He states his mental acuity then proceeds to stumbled through sentences. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-snaps-at-question-on-cognitive-test-likens-it-to-asking-reporter-if-hes-a-junkie
