Hey, I knew a guy who was the president of the Iron Coffin motorcycle club in NW Pennsylvania. His name was Courtney. And he did NOT like being called Court! He answered to his nickname Injin, but if you were a friend, Courtney was fine. He was a very dangerous guy. A 5x felon who carried a 44...

Well, I got some new information today about my sister and her pistol permit. Apparently shes the typical clueless moron in NYS. (She's really not, but this is funny) Today we were talking about her permit. I asked if she has done a recertification yet. She says, "what's that?".....ugg. I asked...

Last year my sister got her premises permit but had never fired a gun....ever....at 58 years old. So she came out to my house to try a few guns. She was a beast, she fired everything from 22lr to 44 magnum. While we were going up the caliber line, she fired a couple 9mm and liked the feel. Then...

I completely agree, that's why my $100 is pretty safe. :) But, ive shot many animals with many rounds. Good 10mm rounds do a lot more damage than 9mm, not just a little, a LOT. Its just a bigger hole, goes deeper generally, and cares less about bone, muscle and tendons. Where a 9mm may be...

Nope, he is a Gen X, probably between 45-55. Im pretty bad at guessing age.

There have been many videos which helped sway me toward 10mm over 9mm. But the #1 video is an old one on ASP. A 65 year old guy gets shot FOURTEEN times by cops using 9mm. It took 4 cops to get him in handcuffs. He died an hour later at the hospital. Ill give anyone here $100 if they can find a...

I should add some context to this. HE was in the police car, he was brought to us as a stray with a broken leg. That was 2015, his name is Zero. :) Here he is today, 11 years later. Still looking dapper at 12ish years old.

At another local range/club, the one I may join, has a sign near the range that says, "You CAN wear tactical gear on the range, but SHOULD you?" Its meant as a joke, but im sure some guys get butt hurt. :)

I honestly think hes just a local no nothing. Probably lived here in the boonies his whole life, and doesn't understand the real world. What I wanted to tell him, but didn't want to waste the words, was that the odds of needing a handgun for self defense against a human are very low, but not...

No, I met Zero in the back of a police car!

This was the first time Ive been to a range in 5 years, and this guy was there. There is a really nice local club I just might join. I would join just so I could meet some new shooters. For the last decade its the same 4 guys...and my sister...who come shoot at our house. I swear 3 of them just...

I found it odd at this particular range. Its the Falconer Rod and Gun in Falconer NY. The members there are very self defense oriented, and they hold a lot of self defense classes there, and the NYS pistol permit classes. Many of the members are younger. I could see this at the Jamestown Rifle...

I have all the shooting area I need. From a 100 yard "pistol" range in the yard, to a 1000+ yard perfectly level unused corn field. But I saw an old friend the other day, and agreed to go to a local range he belongs to, so we went yesterday. While we were there I met a few shooters. There was...

Oh yeah, I forgot the point of my post. :) I have a LOT of knives, I refuse to say how many......because I dont know. Somewhere over 100, but below 300. :( The modern day "high value" Chinese and Taiwanese knives made today hit WAY above their price. If you're less concerned about steel, and...

Buck is another good one. Their Chinese stuff is blah, but their USA stuff is pretty good, but WAY overpriced. They also have some quality control issues I hear they are working on. They recently started using Magnacut in place of their 425m steel on some models. Even though Buck has the BOS...

Kershaw has a wide range of knives. Their USA made stuff is more expensive, but right with, or less than their competition. They are well known for using very well heat treated steel, which has always been a issue with many companies. Over the last year a few guys have started testing steel for...

Sooo, the other day I went to the Blade HQ website to sign up for a notification for the new Spyderco PM2 Tanto dropping on Wednesday. While looking around the site I remembered I wanted a Manix 2 CruCarta (CruWear and Micarta). Then I saw the digi camo G10 Para 3 in a DLC s45vn blade. I...

Screw the grass, cover the plot in weed killer, an ugly city deserves ugly things.

I can make the same argument for many things, like welfare. If you can't afford to feed your kids, maybe you shouldn't be allowed to have kids. If you can't pay your rent, maybe you shouldn't have a home. If you can't afford health insurance, maybe you should just be sick. If you are unable to...

Exactly. This is why we need to popularize a "take a leftist to the range" day. Ive heard rumors, and have one I haven't actually bought a semi auto sinse the CCIA. But, I was told by my local PA FFL that as long as you can legally buy a rifle in NYS, the can sell you one. So if you have the...

Its kind of funny that many of us have wanted NYC to be separated from NYS for years. When the topic comes up, I tell people not to worry, the city will destroy itself eventually. I stand by this belief.

Undoubtedly NYS already has an army of tax payer funded lawyers drawing up multiple ways to infringe on our rights after a positive decision in this case. Like ive said before, these cases don't even apply to me. Ive never owned an MSR, and DIDN'T plan on ever buying one. Im really just into...

I suggest if anyone wants a full feature MSR after a positive decision, you better start saving money now. There may be a very short window to legally buy one. Maybe plan a trip to PA or Ohio 3 minutes after the decision drops. Of course im being a bit hyperbolic, but this happened in...

Like I said, I was probably wrong. This is great news! The most wishy washy justice, Coney-Barrett, even seems to be on the right side of this one. Im 100% on Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch, and 99% on Kavanaugh, and recently about 95% on Coney-Barrett. Even though Roberts is really good on the 2nd...

It got to the point that 2 guys were showed time and location stamped trail cam pictures of their faces, but said, "no sir, not us". Eventually the poachers stayed away, but then the DEC officers believed they had free range to our property. Four different times I saw them in our woods. After...

Unless any of these cases include cosmetic features, it does nothing for NY....."Assault weapons" are not banned in NYS, you can buy one right now. SCOTUS decisions are usually pretty narrow. If they decide that MSRs cannot be banned, nothing changes for us. They need to rule that ALL cosmetic...

Same here. Tons of deer, very few hunters. The rural folk aren't breeding like they used to....except the Amish, they breed like rabbits. I know a lady in her early 30s, she has 9 freaking kids, and is ALWAYS pregnant when I see her. We have a lot of public land, but nobody is using it. I have...

Im not sure what's going on around here in Chautauqua Co, but I do have a theory. We are very rural also, and there are very few children. Many of our "neighbors" are empty nesters or over 65 years old. 20+ years ago it was like WW3 here too. Now I hear maybe 6 shots in the first half hour. It...

Probably Eel pie, mushy peas, and warm, flat ale. Thats in July anyways. If it were December it would have probably been roast venison, creamed corn......and a warm, flat ale.

No hate from me, that's the way it should be everywhere obviously.

Absolutely, its a perk to living on the border. Ill take any win I can get. And yes, it does suck to not live on the border I guess. Im also pretty close to Ohio.

Ive never once bought a gun or ammo with a credit card. I think its just that "NY state of mind" thing....I know they are sneaky. Im a cash all the way buyer. Heck, my wife and I buy most of our "stuff" in Corry or Warren PA anyways. They are about as close as any NY stores, and I just feel...

I buy all my guns in PA. Its a little more of a pain in the butt for pistols, but I have a guy. I can still choose, buy, and be home with a pistol in about an hour. I usually wait until the next day as to not piss off "my guy" too much. :) But if I really NEED a handgun, I can probably do it in...

Come to Chautauqua Co. The deer are ridiculous. 20 years ago you could see herds of 20 or so deer, now, herds of 50+. Its actually kind of amazing to see a near endless sea of deer. We have 3 does with babies that visit our yard. Two of them have 2 fawns, the other has 3. For years ive had a...

I always have enough. After my buck and two DMPs, I call the DEC and they give me at least one more DMP. Not many hunters around here anymore...or, we just have a lot of deer!

You and me both.....kinda. Remember when I was wrongfully denied a handgun purchase in 2015, and it took 2.5 years to get it straightened out. I didn't lose my right to own a gun, or carry a gun, just to buy a gun. In January 2018 I finally emailed Trump. Five days later my rights were restored...

No, Graham looked like a Disney princess a few days ago...just like normal.

My point is there is nothing to take pictures of. I cannot even express enough how rural we are. The vast majority of residents are Shwartsentruber Amish, nothing to see here. And if our local law enforcement and politicians have any say, there will never be cameras.

100% As long as the gun is in proper working order....and not abused. I have seen MSRs "go off" after a bunch of magazines of rapid fire. It happened 2x on Iraqvetersn8888 youtube channel during their "meltdown" tests. Both were AR15s, one Daniel Defense, and one Palmetto State Armory I believe...

2012. That was our one and only crime committed with a gun. The killer drove up from Virginia to kill our local school superintendent over an online love triangle. So that doesn't really count. Our residents have lots of guns, but dont kill anyone....ever. I said this before that ive seen fist...

I did get shot when I was about 14. Luckily it was a ricochet off water. My friend was standing directly across a 60 foot pond from me. He was firing a 22lr rifle into the water. I felt something hit my thigh, it didnt hurt, it felt like maybe a small rock hitting me. After maybe 3 seconds, it...

Not recently, why, are you offering? And yes @Darth , I know you're offering! Anyways, no cameras out here in cow country yet. They would be a big waste of money. We have zero crime, and very few people.

This may be a good thing. Many NYS democrats, including Leticia James are pretty upset about super far left socialist/communist democrats winning in NYS recently. This article absolutely watered down the anger, and fear the "regular" socialist democrats are showing. And a LOT of moderate...

Unfortunate. I "almost" took a 357 magnum round to the head. Ive told this story before. About 7-8 years ago a friend and I were in my yard shooting. The friend was firing my GP100. I was watching him from behind his left side. He fired 6 rounds, then turned toward me and asked, "was that 5 or...

Within a few years of a law ike this they will be suing car manufacturers because they hit a deer!!

I have nothing against Jews....or Spaniards, or Italians, or most other countries. I don't give one crap about their religion...or your religion...or anyones religion. But blind devotion to fund and protect ANY country I am not for. I don't follow this closely, but what has Israel done for us...

Not everywhere. My sister teaches at a school in rural WNY. The kids are taught well, and there is no cat bullshit allowed. No pride month celebration, no safe spaces, no Junteenth celebration. My sister didn't even know that was a thing. Unfortunately the school is most likely going to merge...

My answer to that is something ive mentioned here before....several times. Ok, stop plowing the roads, and I don't need your police. I give generously to our local volunteer fire department, they have my back. I choose to opt out. The government has already promised to take care of my medical...

This is a very nuanced topic. Dogs are all different, and breed has less to do with bad behavior than bad breeding. One of the dumbest things I keep hearing in the dog world is, "its how they're raised", mostly about pitbulls. Pitbulls, along with several other breeds are very powerful, forceful...

Do you want to know how I know im a 2a absolutist? Before the ban I never owned an MSR. When this is overturned I probably wont get one. But, I became a member of GOA right after the ban in 2013. Then I joined the FPC directly because of rifle bans. I have followed the court cases, and have...
