Why would a "modern" military even consider issuing a combat rifle with irons only? Like, why is that even still a thing? I thought it had been pretty clearly established that a lvpo or even a low powered fixed 4x was better over all.

Nah, your rage would go up because you have video proof of your driving or frequenting a) high risk areas and b) the destiny or frequency of said near misses Both of which would be valuable data points on ascertaining your actual risk for underwriting. In contrast, providing say, 3 months of driving showing no near misses, perfect driving, absolutely following speed limits and so on WOULD probably result in a slightly lower premium. This technically is one role that an AI tool could do would be to review thousands of hours of archival footage to verify safe driving practices and such,. assuming sufficient data storage for long enough coverage. More than likely, we'd reach a point where your CAR would have an onboard AI that monitors your driving habits And the surrounding environment in real time and provides an update to your insurance. Privacy laws notwithstanding, your car would probably report bad habits and self report to law enforcement for violations too. So mixed benefits

That's technically how belt fed firearms work

Not where my mind went automatically. The phrase "the first one is free" has strong links to drugs. Why else would that phrase be there?

I figured. But if I have an opportunity to be pedantic or not... I'm gonna choose to follow the art of pedantry if I can do so 🤠

As in Columbian = cartel = first time it's free = drugs = flying can be addicting

This would be slightly more funny if the Chilean was a Columbian (hint hint)

Most water and food items on Amazon now say "not eligible" for return in small letters on the order.kage or on the description. When you click on the not eligible link it says Non-returnable due to Food safety reasons This item is non-returnable due to potential safety risk as an ingestible product, but if the item arrives damaged or defective, you may request a refund or replacement through Your Orders by providing an image of the item and its defects So it appears as if Amazon is one step ahead of this crazy idea

That would certainly be a great subversion of the joke. The man walked in, shit the door, three loud shots were heard and the woman walked out. I'd watch that movie.

Yup, I have a passport card in my wallet alk g with a federal ID and my real id and I have photos of my social security card and my large passport and other documents in a vault in my phone... And I have my social memorized. Lol. And yeah, my kids all have passports too and ALL know their socials by memory. And they ALL have real id on their person at all times. Doesn't everyone?

Absolutely nothing. But neither has my wife lol. Just pointing out that everything including the punchline would work with dogs. AND there is a precedent in Kingsman that the joke ties into

Yup This could also work with dogs... Straight out of kingsmen

You can also just buy copper or a Ferro based mesh and line your existing bag. It's easy enough to see if it works Out your phone inside and if it loses signal you are good to go.

You need to add, after a few moments there were three loud gunshots, and then a struggle Otherwise how would he know it was blanks

There is a "buried silo" design that works for marshy areas with aquifer. Usually long pylons are sunk around a perimeter. Then a round or square metal or concrete section is laid on the ground, and the earth inside is excavated. As the earth is removed the section sinks, and you add another section including joiners and waterproofing, and continue excavating. In this manner you don't have to worry about shoring up as the structure is designed to handle the support integrally. When you are all done you pour a rebar reinforced slab at the bottom and add waterproofing layers to the entire interior structure along with electrical and plumbing. They are very similar to the concrete supports for a bridge and can be underwater.

The sport portion is about half the size of the normal sports, it's an awkward size and shape, and any fluids (like soup) drain through a stupid hoke in the back of the spork and runs down the handle. The plastic knife is nice

Radioactive water is handled by reverse osmosis. Pre filter it, run it through reverse osmosis and then treat it as normal

I'm not a vegan, but we do grow a LOT of our own greens, micro teens etc. Get into canning. Make your own stews and such and can them

38 short, rimless is basically a precurser of 9mm

Lol Probably. I've even recommended them "for hunting" on the za forum 🤠 but not for any tactical application.

For hunting they work fine and I have a few sets from two diff manufacturers. But I often see them recommended (especially on the zombie survival forum) as the be all of weapon choices. If you start shooting at the range, once the reducer insert heats up I've found that the shells start sticking especially 9mm in an over under 12 g Obviously in a non tactical situation such as hunting, you are only shooting once or twice so it won't be a factor.

So I gathered 🤠

Not the chokes, I was specify mentioning shotgun INSERTS where it allows you to put different style and types of shells or cartridge. It's a common "prepper" go to tool that turns a shotgun into a 22lr or a 9mm. One kit will have 7 or 8 different calibers that a 12 gauge can fire and I see them get recommended all the time. But. They suck as they have no extractors. I thought you were referencing them when you commented on the different size shot shells (I read that as different size calibers, not as different size shot)

My advice is to choose the firearm roles, then decide on calibers and THEN decide on which firearms. Is your sidearm for humane dispatch, and defense... Or Intended for hunting AND defense? Is your rifle/shotgun intended for hinting only, or for tactical applications? Will you be doing your own reloading? If so what calibers are you set up for? Or are you only stocking manufactured ammo? Which calibers? For hunting with a handgun, 10mm, 454 casul, 45smc among others, will trump 9mm... And these calibers do great for defense as well! But... You can carry more 9mm in the given space and weight allotment than you can the other calibers listed. Same goes for revolver cartridges all the way from 32 calibers like 327 federal to 38/357 to 45c and so on. If you want defense and hunting and pick 454 casul, then that dictates that you can shoot 45c and 454 and have to have a revolver. If you are going for hunting as the primary use on the handgun, will you be wanting a hand gun optic or scope? Which gun has a mount or can be milked to accept one? It sounds like you are coming at this from the "these are what I have, and I'm only keeping one" standpoint. But come at it just a bit more scientifically and look at the need or use case. It doesn't sound like you carry a concealed weapon ever, so comfort and ease of concealment isn't important in that case which means you can go big. A great balance between hunting and defense is going to be 10mm. Heck you can even shoot 40 out of it for lower cost practice (understanding that you may need to replace the extractor sooner due to increased wear). For your rifle/shotgun, the same questions apply. Do you intend to be trekking through the woods carrying it? What ranges do you anticipate shooting? This will dictate the irons vs optics discussion. The amount of underbrush and shooting range and conditions will also dictate caliber. Just the standard 223/556 vs 308 or 6.5 or 300 win mag discussion can be simplified. If you intend to only have one rifle and expect to hunt elk or moose AND smaller deer, 300 win mag will handle all your needs. But if you want the same rifle to function for closer in defense and hunting, then 308 is probably going to serve you the best as a balanced battle rifle and hunting cartridge. And so on. The same with a shotgun. A semi auto 12 Guage is going to be heavier than a break action over under. A security 88 is going to have the same capacity as it's more expensive cousins but will function just fine. Honorable mentions... HK usp45c or hk45 chambered in 45acp can also shoot 45 smc AND the guns can survive pretty much anything you could ever expect them to include saltwater immersion, acid etc... Ruger Alaskan in 454 casul (great balance between 45c for defense and 454 for hunting or backwoods humane dispatch)... Keltec rdb survival (a very handy 223/556 rifle) perfect for king treks. It's actually my preferred backwood rifle when I'm NOT hunting... Sgammo for stocking up on your preferred calibers... Trijicon accupoint lvpo as an optic with dual illumination fiber and tritium which doesn't need batteries ever. It's a great prepper optic with amazing glass and good eye relief and plenty of reticule options... See also the trijicon pistol optics rmr they have a dual illuminated version as well that doesn't take batteries. I have a few of them just in case that I can swap onto guns if batteries suddenly aren't available (emp, after a shtf scenario etc)... If you are really going to go down to just two guns... Choose two that can fill all the various niches you expect AND don't expect to face. Make sure to stock up on ammo to feed them at the rate of expenditure based on your worst case scenario. Choose calibers that aren't reliant only on your stockpile but which are also available regionally if needed... If possible choose a platform that has some parts or accessories compatibility with local government use. (Ie uses stanag pattern mags) Hope this helps a bit.

Those shotgun inserts don't have extractors so it's literally one shot and then 2 minutes keying with a pocket knife to get the shell out. Only meant for hunting not defense or emergency use

You can get a debit card that has points. I don't use a credit card either for anything. It exists as an emergency option just in case. My debit card says visa on it and gives cash back, but I can log into my credit union app and choose for perks for groceries, mileage etc

My pleasure

Assuming you aren't a prohibited person... Nope... Not hard at all. You fill out the paperwork, send in your payment, get an interview, and then your good to go. Some states have additional requirements. But it's a federal license so it's pretty straightforward. The process repeats every few years as a renewal and depending on the business type you may get random inspections from the ATF to ensure compliance. Some info https://www.atf.gov/resource-center/fact-sheet/fact-sheet-federal-firearms-and-explosives-licenses-types Application process https://www.atf.gov/firearms/apply-license

An FFL dealer "level" refers to the specific type of Federal Firearms License (FFL) a dealer holds, categorized by the activities they are permitted to perform, with the most common types being "Type 01" for standard firearm dealers, These are the ones that you typically walk into a gun shop and buy from... "Type 02" for pawnbrokers, They have a few specific abilities such as being able to transfer without background investigation of giving it back to the original pawner "Type 03" for collectors of curios and relics, this usually allows people who collect older guns to have them shipped directly to their homes or to engage in buying and selling as long as the specific guns meet certain criteria (antiques, historically significant etc) "Type 06" for ammunition manufacturers, and "Type 07" for firearm manufacturers; which allows everything that the form 1 does but also lets you make stuff. each level has different restrictions on what types of firearms and activities they can engage in

Keep in mind that all form 7 FFL are manufacturers. For instance, I can manufacturer a machine gun as a sample or convert existing weapons. Legally. There are at least 30 gunsmiths in a 50 mile radius from where I'm at that are also manufacturers. A LOT of the 3d printer community are actually doing their print shoot repeat stuff under a sot or as an FFL. They just don't like to brag about that because they get better street cred on YouTube as the "fring" crowd

This joke could also work in star trek...

Wow that's interesting. My friend who is a little person also has a gambling problem, and we just had an intervention and took him to rehab ... He was NOT Happy

Vp9/sfp9 is striker fired, no hammer...

Because the majority of the people looking for jobs are looking for jobs with pay and benefits greater than what is being offered. For instance. I could get a job at McDonald's or Walmart tomorrow. But I couldn't provide for my family, unless my spouse also got a job and probably our oldest kid too... Whereas where I currently work I make enough to cover all our expenses.

My mind went a different way. The answer is always Tits... Select for his "first" mate .. After the divorce he might go for money or personality...

Nah, no one reads sub comments lol, our secret is safe 🤠

In all fairness Robert O'Reilly is an Amazon actor

I'm afraid this is one of those, if you know you know moments... The character is Kago-Darr in Enterprise though...

I think the actor who played this star trek character was better in every way than the actor who played gowron https://preview.redd.it/419hueox8ace1.jpeg?width=572&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f17fb4cd23b9126bb9a3ceb6dd7df07415c98410

Ooooooooooooo I hate to be a copy cat, and I hope you don't mind that it might not be the only reproduction shortly but this is too sexy not to do!!!!!

What they don't tell you is those inserts don't have extractors so digging the 22lr out of it is a time consuming process. You basically get 1 shot.

The 22 data on kills... Isn't specifically 22lr... It's 22 caliber that gets the credit. Which includes 223/556 and a host of other 22 caliber projectiles including 22 magnum, hornet etc.

Evacuating with my guns has never been an option. There's no way they'd fit in anything but a U-Haul. And evacuating inherently implies danger and a need to be mobile. So CCW, ammo and mags, maybe a carbine hidden in a range bag or a vertx backpack with ammo and mags. I have more stuff in my vehicle. But the last thing you want to do when planning an evac is to get bogged down in gear.

Check out something practical like the vertx over lander Basecamp (if you conceal carry all the vertx bags just make sense) it has a spot for a ballistic panel, dedicated weapon and ammo compartment, plenty of slice and is comfortable to carry. Also check out the eberlestock F1 mainframe coupled with 2 batwings and 1 basin. It's expandable. Has room for a rifle along with plenty of storage for tent, packraft, food, hydration etc. I use the eberlestock almost every time I go into the back country especially if planning on self support for more than a few days. The vertx Basecamp is in my car with generic supplies, and the smaller vertx ready 2.0 is my EDC bag that goes in and out of the car with me.

Perfect time for her to just get to San Diego or San Fran for the weekend. Nothing wrong with taking a few days. As an entirely seperate note: FEMA has gotten approval for IS assistance so make sure she applies for general assistance asap (smoke damage,.power outage, food loss etc) when the website updates in the next day or two to allow applications.
