Hawaii Police To Destroy $500,000 Worth Of Department Guns So totally legal functioning guns getting smashed. Sad... https://www.gunsamerica.com/blog/hawaii-police-to-destroy-500000-worth-of-department-guns/

Do a rifle in it, a pistol in it and get some kydex printed in it for the holster. lol

You mean something like this?

I got about 10 strawberries. My ground cherries are growing well. I had a bumper crop of dandelions.

I had one almost fly into my windshield tonight when it flew across the highway.

What the crap stock is that on those? I assume they are ARs.

Looks like a garden hose sprayer made of wood...

This?

Sounds like that will be my next purchase then. Lol

We have all seen them. We know they are innocent, but someone made them UGLY. Like a car wreck we can't look away. We just hope someone will move them to a safer more loving home where they can blossom into the beautiful guns they have inside. Some may be too far gone and we just have to give them as merciful and dignified end. Let's post the UGLY guns to raise awareness of the mistreatment they receive. Maybe we can save a few from the same sad fate.

I did not know they were used that much. Not bad guns. Just was wondering. I think this guy is doing it wrong?

I have seen the Dragon's breath before. Did you see the video someone on here posted of the guy catching the range's grass on fire with one?

MP5 +1

I was looking through some info last night and came up with some things for shotguns that I had never heard of. I know most of us would know bird shot, slugs, and buckshot. We probably have even heard of beanbag, wax slugs, rubber slugs, cut shells, and dragon's breath rounds. Heck, I have even read about the compressed lead powder door breaching rounds. What I had never heard of is Pepper Blast rounds, Flash Thunder Grenade rounds, and Armor Piercing rounds. While I generally think if I am going to bring a gun to bear on someone that it is to the point of needing to be lethal, these interest me. Has anyone ever used/seen any of these? Looks like these guys specialize in this stuff: Firequest Exotic Shotgun Ammo Some of the ammo is kind of silly to me like the "12 Gauge Piranha" which is filled with "dozens of razor sharp steel tacks" and #12 shot. I think at that point, just use buckshot. Maybe it is less likely to carry through walls or something. Mostly, it is just marketing hype. I am not sure that the pepperblast rounds would be hard to make, but if it is just powder, range would be very short and could blow back toward you if the wind was right.

I skimmed through most of this. one thing really sticks out. That is the fact that all the officers had to keep stressing the point that they feared for their lives, the lives of fellow officers, and the lives of bystanders. I am sure this is because they were told to in the hope to avoid idiots yelling that they over used force. In my mind if someone is shooting at officers (or anyone) then the officers have the right to return fire in as safe a manner as possible. While I have never been on either side of an encounter like this, and never hope to be, I do agree that it seems the officers do need additional range time. A weapon malfunctioning should be part of the drills they do regularly so that they know how to correct it quickly. Also, the massive amount of fire that the officers returned makes me think that they were not dealing with the stress well. I also am very surprised to see how many times officers went black on ammo. The last thing I want to do in a firefight is be the first one to run out of ammo. I would not consider 5 full mags for each AR and Mini 14 to be too much to carry with you in your vehicle. Also, I would think 3 magazines would be the minimum I would want on my belt for my service pistol. I think that the issued shotguns carrying only 4 rounds is weak also. Off the shelf Rem. 870 Tacticals hold 6 in the extended format. I was surprised to see the Mini 14 as a issued rifle. Is this common on Police forces?

Totally different than the one my Mom had. Hers was red but had a carry handle at top. Plus it had a sing along microphone. I can't find any pics that look like what I remember.

I bet it is a nice bag, but at $105 I would be afraid to use it. Maybe I am just a tightwad though. Plus, I think it might be a little big for the OP's desired use.

Let me know if it works well. I need to get one and a pmag loader too

A Heartland Firearm Furniture & Accessories, 10 Round Magazine / Grip for my Mosin Nagant. It replaces the floorplate without any modification. Still gotta run it to see how it goes.

My mom had a portable 8 track "boom Box" and my aunt still had a 8 track in her Road Runner when I was a kid. She had an adapter to play cassettes in it. Everyone must have been in heaven to carry your music in the car and play it instead of the radio. I know no one ever did that with vinyl. lol BTW, I think ! remember that commercial too.

I found that buying the buckets of packs from the freeze-dried food companies can be economical and provides a ready to go solution. I leave them sealed so that it improves shelf like and improves pest resistance. Plus they stack better than a bunch of packs. Something like this (just an example I saw at a decent price of $1.42 per serving): Wise Foods 60 Serving Entree only 01-160 Grab and Go Food Kit One thing to look out for though, as with all these foods, is that 60 servings is actually 13 packs. Most are four servings with a couple 8 serving packs tossed in. So if you were fixing them on the hoof and were alone, you would not get 60 meals out of it if you fixed it in the pouch as most people do. That might not be a bad thing, but just something to keep in mind. Another option I mentioned up the thread is the SOS Emergency Food. It is kinda heavy, but packs a lot of calories in a small space. Downsides are that there is no variety and without storing it in another container, it is not as pest proof. This is what I have tossed in my Get-Home-Bag. I don't have to worry about the heat in the car spoiling it. They also make water pouches that are for long term. If it takes me longer to get there than that food lasts, I figure it is REALLY bad and I can start searching abandoned vehicles and storefronts for more. Random example: LOT OF 5 3600 CALORIE EMERGENCY FOOD RATIONS SOS Like you, my biggest worry is being set to get home if things go bad and having supplies in case it takes me longer to get there. At home I can exploit the canned and other food we have in the cabinet and still leave the freeze-dried food buckets in case we have to jump and run.

I wanted to go to the Woodstock they had back int he 90's, but I could not get off work. I have been to Lollapalooza and a few other mini festivals, but none seem to have reached the Woodstock level. Lollapalooza was the closest I think with big name acts, several stages and lots of crazy people. It was just one day though back when I went..

Wow, I can't imagine having that much space. We might of had 75 acres between everyone around that we had permission from. I hunted for years and never saw a deer during season. Probably one reason I stopped.

Another way to think is, how much less would they have been worth to the people using them to put food on the table then? Same thing could be said for all the muskets bored out to be sod buster shotguns. Converting military arms to civilian use has gone on for along time. I hate to see something chopped up, but I understand it.

I envy you. I would have killed to see Hendrix. My Dad and Mom weren't even married yet. Took me a few years to come along.
