Mr.Mildot

Have you tightened the bbl nut to spec? Shouldn't wobble after that...and accuracy should be fine.

Never mind, I had an idea but no...that's not it...

This is how people who are 1. Untrained and 2. Panicking, act in this type of situation. My advice to anyone (including myself) is to train a ton, then train some more, in any way you can...because when it comes time to use deadly force, you will probably be in the most frightening situation you have ever experienced and you're only hope will be to react in the way you have trained to because you wont be thinking clearly, won't be able to problem solve and fine motor skill will be out the door. Training in martial arts or boxing are useful, not only for the hand to hand combat skills but to become accustomed to dealing with aggression being directed at you by another human. This guy practically intimidated the old lady into giving up her gun...she was scared and negotiating with him when she should have been pumping him full of lead.

Giant corporations let it be known that they stand opposed to the Constitution, which would indicate their campaign contributions would be used to that end (after, of course, securing protectionist corporate welfare from the govt.). Their refusal to acknowledge the real problem(s) and instead jump on the Bandwagon of Stupid indicates the nature of their relationship to the Truth and to the system which seeks to subvert the will of the people... I.E. they are friends of Big Govt and enemies of freedom. This is all well and good... Of course if some lonesome Christian baker doesn't wish to apply his artistic craft to aid in celebrating something he finds conflicts with his beliefs, he gets sued, gets death threats and vandalism, could loose his business, financial security and good name and ends up being a Supreme Court case to decide if he will be allowed to live in peace or compelled by the government to act as an agent for promoting things he is opposed to... guess he didn't have enough money to "lobby" I.E. bribe congress. I just cancelled my Enterprise Plus account and transferred all my points to my brother in law. I rent cars probably 3-4 weeks per month, but probably still won't get their attention.... Got more work to do today, since me and all my guys travel a ton, we can start shifting our business to companies who at least have not boldly stated that they stand opposed to our Way of Life...

Or we could all just abandon the public school system and stop letting the government dictate what level of protection (and education, and indoctrination) our kids get. I homeschool my 3 kids (well my wife does actually). Sure, we could use the extra income she could make, but there's more to life than money and things...

I work in some pretty high security places, the kind of places dudes with machineguns patrol around in body armor. The likelihood of anything going down in these places is almost zero, but if it does it's gonna be full-on combat. It takes a tremendous amount of expense and time in training to keep these guys primed, just like a lot of cops in quiet suburban districts. Fighting (especially gunfighting) is a perishable skill, so you have to replace actual action with tons of training to keep the edge sharp. There are like 130K public schools in the US (up to 12th grade). So, if we're going to put just one cop in charge of a whole entire school we need a force of 130K highly trained dudes, ready at any moment to stand alone between hundreds or thousands of students and a murderous bastard who has the advantage of planning and timing, but do nothing else 99-100% of the time (except possibly mundane SRO stuff which only distracts from the primary mission). If we do go down this road, be prepared for the National School Defense Administration which will create yet another giant bureaucratic federal police force to put armed federal agents in every school, federal agents who are not from the area, owe more allegiance to the federal govt. than to the kids they protect and can never get fired even if they hide in the toilet when the bad thing happens. The immediate fix IMHO is to arm the school staff (or allow those that want to be to be armed). Give them a training budget, get them involved with the local PD to work on tactics, communication, first aid. The point is not to create a security force out of the school staff, but to have people there who know anything at all about what to do and have some means of doing it. If you go on a cruise there are lifeboats and evac drills, they are not intending to give you the required training to navigate a raft safely from the middle of the ocean to land in a tuxedo, but to give you a fighting chance if the unthinkable happens. Most mass shootings end immediately when the shooter is met with force. So even a few poorly aimed shots across this guys bow might have ended it, not necessarily a full on tactical response. But the long term fix is to fix our society and restore the remnants of the culture we have spent the last 50 years tearing down.

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters" Colossians 3:23 Easier said than done sometimes (a lot of the time!). Thanks for being real brother, and for sticking in there and being faithful when it's not easy. Isn't it strange how a message will often come to you at a time of need?

The logic of disallowing school staff from carrying is totally flawed, just like all anti gun arguments. If a teacher owns a gun and wants to carry in class to protect the children in the worst case imaginable, then prohibition on carry stops him or her from doing so because they are afraid of losing their job, criminal charges etc. But if the same teacher (or whomever) suddenly becomes hellbent on murder, then the possibility of losing a job or being charged with a misdemeanor is supposed to stop them? Ridiculous...

I'm not willing to trade in the liberty of an entire nation of people, today or ever, to try to prevent a particular type of heinous crime from occurring which is both statistically incredibly rare and not even remotely related to access to firearms. The assault weapon ban never went away and only got worse where I live, yet there are violent criminals committing violent acts all over the place. Many men on this board probably have similar experiences or can relate similar experiences my father had: As a kid in the 50's/60's he and all his friends owned guns they mail ordered from Sears and Roebuck catalog, worked at a gas station all alone at 14 that sold guns the same way they sold gas, to anyone with money, and learned to shoot from the school principal who was also the Scoutmaster. People weren't killing each other. We've torn our nation and our culture apart which in the end is the cause, not the guns. So we can shred the constitution, disarm the American people and become socialists on the brink of extinction like most of Europe or we can actually address the real issue which is the systematic attack and dismantling of the Home, the Church and the American Way of Life.

Most people in this world could be given a million machineguns and a billion rounds of ammo, but would never even dream of murdering another human being...many trained soldiers and police officers find it hard to kill even when trained to and under proper authority with justification. Then there are people that blow themselves up to murder children. Or shoot up a bunch of students over some insult or discipline. Dealing with the latter group is the crux of the problem, not the former. And no amount of physical security will stop all threats, the very nature of physical security measures is that they are often reactionary as you can never plan for all the possibilities of things evil people might do to others. Allowing school staff who want to to arm up, get a training stipend and be prepared to defend is the best solution for school safety in the immediate future. The only thing stopping many school staff from bringing a gun to school for defense is the fear of loosing a good job, but the fear of loosing a good job would not stop them from bringing a gun to school to kill their students. Therefore the old axiom applies, only the bad guys have guns there...

It’s like John Lott said in “the Bias Against Guns”, that the stat for children killed by guns included up to age 20 or so and included gang shootings, suicides, homes where felons illegally possessed improperly stored firearms...etc. It turned out that actual children under 11 killed in firearm accidents in the home was so rare that 5 gallon plastic buckets and queen sized matresses were significantly more dangerous to kids than guns... School shootings are highly publicized and unbelievably horrifyingly tragic, but still incredibly rare.

Access to firearms has never been more restricted that at the present time. AR15 has been on the civilian market for over 50 years and is one of the most popular firearms in history, probably millions to 10's of millions of them in the US. Obviously, something changed other than access to firearms; if there was a correlation then these incidents would be less likely now, not more. The AR came on the market in 1963, at a time when there were virtually no gun laws other than restrictions on machineguns, 5 years before the 1968 GCA. What has happened in the time period since then, lets reason together: We as a nation have practically destroyed the nuclear family, eviscerated and emasculated the role of the Church in society and replaced chivalry and self-sacrifice with victimhood and narcissism. We abort viable pregnancies due to inconvenience, and promote offing the elderly and ill if we deem their quality of life substandard. We allow our children to play video games that utilize the exact same psychological conditioning used to make our Vietnam Vets more efficient killers (and caused an explosion of PTSD casualties, you all know that more vets have killed themselves since the war than died in it). Instead of mothers and fathers raising their sons and daughters to be ladies and gentlemen, we tell the kids they might be homosexuals or misgendered, and instead of disciplining and training them we put them on Prozac and Ritalin and give them Facebook to experience the insecurities of puberty on a macro scale, all alone on powerful mind altering medications with no morals and no father to smack them and no mother to hug them. Short of a revival (and I do mean the Christian sort), I don't know what can turn this around, we've wasted a generation, maybe two now, and I'm staying armed and vigilant because the last thing that's gonna make anyone safer is taking away the ability to meet these threats head on. I'm sorry to say I don't see this getting better anytime soon, but will continue to pray about it, and do what I can to influence my children and other young people that I can in appositive way...

Hello Everyone, i recently jumped on this board while in Nashville on business to make a quick connection in the local gun community, and everyone is so friendly I thought I’d stick around a bit, if you’ll have me. As you can see, I live in California, affectionatly known as the People’s Republic of California or PRC for short. I live in the best part though, Nor Cal’s beautiful Central Valley, a largely conservative part of the state. There are like 10 million solid patriotic Americans in CA, only outnumbered 2 to 1 by the Spawn of Bolsheviks, but we’re gettin’ by. Im a CCW holder, and my shooting hobbies have included long range tactical rifle matches(200-1000yd), dabbled in national match rifle and some random pistol comps, but then I had kids and started traveling heavily for business so now I’m in skills maintenance mode (read: I don’t shoot as often as I used to). Since a huge slice of my work involves the South, and all the guys who work for me are are in the Eastern Time Zone, as well as most customers, I’m working on getting a move out there paid for by the company. TN is my favorite state, we have an office in Oak Ridge so I have spent most of my time there or around Chattanooga, and we have some family in Atoka/outer Shelby county, so hopefully that will work out sometime. Anyway, sorry for the exhaustive intro, nice to meet you. M.

That's pretty funny, as a man whose youngest child has only within the last 2 years learned to use the "potty", I can recall disposing of many a bag of that description containing foul substances. Thank you for acting so quickly, at least helped make the best out of my poor planning and got some more PMags into circulation. Please don't put yourself out over the 10 rounders, it's a very nice gesture and I appreciate it, but there is certainly no obligation. Besides, I won $45 dollars on a slot machine in the Las Vegas airport on my layover today, so it's a net gain.
