How Do You Approach Gun Ownership?

[RajParticipant 472]

Concealed vs. Open is really just setting dependent. In an area with a strong gun culture, few liberals, and many people open carrying, I feel like it’s applicable. Situations where there is a potential for arguments, weak gun culture, few open carrying, or hostile situations then carry concealed.

Rural Texas sure open carry,
if youre going to the LGBTQ, Anti-Gun, Anti-Fascist, Anti-Hate, Anti-Man, Anti-Trump, Civil Rights March in downtown Portland probably go concealed.

In Canada, any air gun over 500fps is considered a firearm and requires a license to own. I had at one time a Crosman 1377C that had to be registered as a ‘Restricted Firearm’. I could only legally shoot it at a government approved firing range. I s~~~ you not…

Autolite, it must be difficult living in a state where it’s tough on firearms. However, there are still alternatives that you can use that will help you level the playing field. Mace, knives, flat jack, bat, heck even a small steel bar in your pocket delivered to someone’s skull would render them unconscious.

Just because you have a ccw or open carry doesn’t mean your safe, it just gives you a better chance. The most important thing is situational awareness. Don’t put yourself in a position to get mugged.

This is one of the biggest problem with women; they constantly seek attention. My ex would dress so f~~~ing trashy when we went out. She thought she looked so hot and got all this attention from everyone. It used to p~~~ me off, it constantly made me a target in the eyes of other dudes. I’m alpha, I don’t back down easily so I was constantly in verbal arguments with other men cause they were smart assess about it.

Lift weights, look big, project confidence, don’t wear flashy jewelry, don’t draw attention, don’t escalate arguments, don’t go to dangerous areas, and don’t do drugs. Those are responsible for 99% of all crime. There will always be freak incidents that occur sure, but more than likely it won’t be a crime, it will be a car running a red light, or someone speeding, and in neither of situations would a gun help you.

Gun control means hitting the target every time. Absolutely own firearms, but learn to use them safely and effectively, care for them and practice regularly. Be safe at home and at the range and keep them away from everyone else in the household – especially children. Take the NRA training. Join the NRA.

Well I approach it by assuming the gun is loaded and treating it as such, then checking to make sure the magazine is out and the chamber is clear.. Safety first brothers

Simple…..It is always better to own and not need, then to be in need and not own.

Everyone should have one and have at least a basic set up for reloading.

I’ve heard about reloading. It’s a great thing to do. It can be tricky though, but once you get the hang of it, it becomes a great hobby.

I normally carry concealed. Occasionally I’ll open carry when the situation calls for it. The greatest danger from being confronted by a turd is outside of your car or home. For example: I was filling up my car with gas a few weeks ago at a gas station I went to many years ago but hadn’t been to recently. The people that I was seeing gave me a bad vibe, there was one guy in particular that was hanging around the pumps talking on his phone and no car. Red flag. He kept cutting side glances at me. Red flag. So I just reached down and adjusted my shirt to open carry my weapon and walked away from my car so he could see. He walked away quick step out of sight. Problem solved. I never open carry inside a store, it makes people nervous and the risk is low. Sometimes I’ll open carry from my car to the store (especially at night) and cover as soon as I step inside. Just my 2 cents.

So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains and we never even know we have the key. Eagles

how the members here approach gun ownership. I myself am a gun owner and would encourage every man who is able bodied and legally clear to own a firearm to own one, or more for those of you with the urge to start a collection.

I live in Texas so it goes without saying that I’ve grown up in a place were owning forearms is encouraged. Everything from hunters to the aficionado, I’ve met them. And seen some really cool pieces too. We have open carry here (with some restrictions) which is cool. So every once in a while I’ll see a dude with a holstered pistol walking around doing regular guy stuff like pumping gas or whatever. Just a normal day at the office here. We also have concealed carry. For those of you who don’t know that means that a person can get licensed to carry a pistol or a revolver in a concealed fashion. An interesting fact is that George Bush got license #1 (Literally that’s his license number) when he was governor. He actually signed the bill into law. So there you go. He lives here in Texas still so I’d bet money that he’s renewed his #1 status card there.

There is a bad ass range down the street from that has crap tons of stuff so I’ll keep you guys updated as to any and all classes that I’ll be taking there. Oh, and they have an archery range, that is badass.

What do you guys think of the subject?

liberal nazi state unfortunately – example 10 mag limit, no CCW, no open cary, no suppressor, all gun owners in FBI database, list goes on. Only Commiefornia is worse overall I think.

at least in the US (may be different in countries with a total gun ban, but maybe not), overly restrictive gun only serve to protect criminals and put law abiding citizens at risk. The people that will comply with laws stating you cannot carry outside your home, mag limit laws, restrictive registration laws, etc are LAW ABIDING CITIZENS who have passed the required background, firearms training, mental health, and medical screenings. Criminals will do as they please, carry stolen guns wherever they want regardless of how much restrictions you place on law abiding citizens.

I know the .45 long Colt is what it is. Still, it looks nasty.

I own one pretty much exactly like this. Ruger super redhawk in 454 casull/45 colt. Probably the most ridiculous gun I own, there’s only a very few handgun cartridges more powerful.

example of recoil out of a 454 short barrel. for my gun, thankfully the weight of the longer barrel and scope keeps the muzzle flip down. a bit.

I had a thread a couple months back where I questioned the practicality of owning a gun. After reading your collective replies, I actually decided to get one, more out of curiosity and to learn a new skill.

I approached it very carefully and worked with snap caps (fake/dummy bullets) until I was confident in how to handle it, including what to do when a bullet jams, or how to de-c~~~ my gun without firing it, etc.

I find I am neither pro-gun nor anti-gun. A gun is a tool. Just like a table saw, I wanted to learn how to use one properly. I keep it loaded but unfireable in my house for home defense and occasional range shooting. But I don’t hunt, I’m not a police officer, and I’m not in Texas, so it has very little relevance in my life.

Having said that, I pick up my second gun from my local FFL tomorrow.

I’m glad you’re getting into the hobby, and as you’re discovering, can be quite fun 🙂

This is my personal opinion, but I am not a strong believer in using snap caps at all. They can lend a false sense of security when extreme care should be taken when the gun is loaded. You get used to both loading guns at home and pulling the trigger on the loaded guns. There have been incidents where people have accidentally used live rounds when they thought they loaded snap caps, couple test firings later BOOM. This has happened to seasoned firearm owners, even more dangerous for newbies.

If you must practice, just dry fire instead. With a centerfire gun, dry firing empty wont “wear” the gun down any more or less than using snap caps. Or if you must use snap caps, make sure it’s in controlled situations with no live rounds in the area. Store them separately from the rest of your ammunition and other gun stuff.
————–
For newer gun users, my opinion is that revolvers, bolt actions, break actions, and pump actions are safer than autos. It’s easier to get into a situation where the gun is accidentally loaded than with these other gun types. For example, with a revolver, you break the cylinder open, and can easily see that the gun is unloaded.

With an auto, you can drop the mag, maybe there’s a round chambered. maybe the slide jammed earlier, and you cleared the jam, but now the jammed bullet is chambered. etc.

No interest in owning a gun. Don’t see the point but respect the right for others to do so.

Canada, you understand, is pretty f~~~ed-up. It is illegal to use mace or pepper spray on a person. Carrying a knife is also illegal in some jurisdictions (or they’re trying to make it so). Anything else and you’re liable for having a ‘weapon dangerous to the public’. It’s a catch-all charge that the cops like to use when they want to f~~~-over someone they don’t particularity like when they can’t find them actually doing anything wrong…

In Canada, ‘Gun Control’ is nothing more than an incentive for retards to vote Liberal. In that respect it is highly effective.

I decided on having the ability to arm a certain number of people, with certain roles in mind, so firearms purchase were based on this.

So there will be a certain number of medium-ranged weapons (AR15, AK47). A certain number of sidearms. A certain number of rifles suitable as hunting rifles/DMR’s (FNH SCAR-308, Savage Arms Axis II, DPMS LR-308). A certain number of weapons more suitable for closer quarters (shotgun, pistol caliber carbines).

Also, roles based on operating environment. In SHTF, a small group venturing onto boats or a long distance from home would take AK47s instead of AR15s, marinecote Mossberg 500 instead of the other Mossberg 500, etc.

If it is a situation where you wanted to have weapons concealed, the folding carbines (fit into backpack and deployable in seconds) along with their corresponding sidearms (same caliber, same magazines).

All my life I've had doubts about who I am, where I belonged. Now I'm like the arrow that springs from the bow. No hesitation, no doubts. The path is clear. And what are you? Alive. Everything else is negotiable. Women have rights; men have responsibilities; MGTOW have freedom. Marriage is for chumps. If someone stands in the way of true justice, you simply walk up behind them and stab them in the heart-R'as al Ghul.

That must be a very popular sentiment. I actually saw it once written on a guy’s tombstone…

I’d rather carry a cop around with me but they’re much heavier than my H&K .40 SW

Seriously? Unfireable??? That’s what I call a paperweight.

I have a 38 Special revolver handy in the bedroom, and I carry concealed (yes, with a CCW permit) whenever possible. Trouble is a come-as-you-are party…there’s no telling when or where it’ll crop up.
