Chinese "weather" balloon floating over the US
chances R replied to tercel89's topic in General Chat
I've just ordered a case of assault balloons before Biden outlaws them. -
Look at pictures of any of the top shooters' forearms.....they are tight with well defined muscles. This is from a firm, very tight grip. Maximum force short of tremor. This is the most easily repeatable grip. One cannot consistently apply 'lighter' grip. To help maximize one's grip, the small finger on both hands has to be really in play as well. Shake hands with someone using and then NOT using the small finger. Grip strength is almost 20% greater when you make the small finger really work. This also helps prevent milking the grip and pulling shots....mostly to the left. Additionally, if you don't really clamp down with the support hand, your gun has less left sided resistance and will tend to migrate to that side. After good rounds of practice, either dry or live, your forearms should feel some fatigue due to the work required for grip. Also keep the thumbs loose, another common cause of pushing the gun. Consistent thumb pressure just can't happen...leave them loose, flopping in the wind so to speak.

am I mentioned in the will?

I'm a big M&P fan. If you don't plan on any after market upgrades, then PC is a good choice. If you plan on after market upgrades, go standard 2.0, Get Apex duty or comp trigger and Apex barrel. Very reliable and will last a long time. If you are going to add a dot, don't waste money on hard sights. To complicate matters, Don't overlook Canik.

Nope, but some states frown on people carrying guns.....probably the same ones. -

i would be very leery of carrying a product that resembles a gun. -

Early on Branca carried Sabre Red. Small, convenient and has multiple spray capability. I have canisters available at front door, autos, at work, and usually in pocket. According to stats, 5x more likely to need it rather than firearm… plus generally not a felony and mistakes easily rectified. Handy when walking dogs. From personal experience, works well on one bear I used it on. -
Nice buy. If you really get bitten by the sporting bug, look at the 725 30” bbl.

A300 beretta outlander. Semiautomatic will soften some of the recoil. I believe they come with shims to reduce lop if needed. Will last for many years.

not suprising and one should avoid carrying a firearm if that's the case anyway. In fact, illegal to do so in TN.
-
poly coated bullets would be a good alternative to Lead cast. Seems to me that a jacketed soft point would be a good choice.
-
While reading the above references, understand the difference between force and deadly force. Two different things. Force may be referred to as mere force.
-
No, but would be nice if we did.

A little bit of / on Casado. He didn’t go to trial, which saved him a ton of money. In FL there is a “Self Defense Immunity” law which worked like it was designed for. Still not cheap, but a bargain in this case. Another good example where Avoidance reigns supreme.

It will be hard to get a definite answer from your HO insurance. Doesn't mean you can't ask, but don't be surprised if you get a 'it depends" answer. Also, in TN, if you have an adjudicated case of SD, you cannot be sued by the other party in a civil case. Does not mean an inocent bystander/victim couldn't sue you though.

Buy a Dan Wesson first, doubt you will have to buy another one. 45 traditional, 9mm more fun and will shoot it more.

without more details, impossible to address actions and reactions. A reasonably safe way to enter a garage is with an automatic opener, staying in your locked car, and closing the door behind your car with the opener as you sit in your locked car. Still one is vulnerable to attack with a gun pointed at you waiting for the door to open or close. Not everyone has an automatic opener. Elderly couples may have additional handicaps. No one is invincable.

What Most People Who Carry Fail to Realize
chances R replied to crc4's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
all shots after the initial 4 seem unnecessary to me. If he called 911 at that point, we wouldn't have this conversation. -

Probably not a bit. If a reasonable person would perceive it as a 'gun' then that is really the bottom line.
