Hi from the uk!

[W.Lynn]

At my house, the shotguns are not pump-action. Fill the tube & go.

Favorite .... hard to say, it depends on the task at hand.

For just fun handgun shooting, I really enjoy the M&P Shield in .45ACP. By no means am I trying to put the 9mm down, it's a perfectly fine caliber , but TO ME, it's just not a favorite. Then there's the AR pistol, which I'm still getting used to.

For longer boomsticks, I enjoy the ARs in 5.56mm. I no longer go hunting , but have dedicated tools for that as well.

Understand that most of us are rather hesitant to discuss specific tools, preferring to keep a low profile.

[Infidel]

If I need fast & easy, it's the AR 15, my 9mm M&P Shield, or my 20g. if I want someone to mess their pants, or just not get that close, there's the 1911 in .45 ACP (that thing has more soul than a lot of people,) the 12g, and the AR 10. The AR 10, and the bolt-action hunting rifle also in .308 are a bit more touchy to shoot, but worth the time to get to know them.

To really knock your socks off, you have to bring the black powder replica Kentucky long rifle to the range, there's also a black powder pistol, and a Mosin Nagant.

We have the usual bunch of .22 lr in long arms and side arms, handy for taking rabbits and squirrel. (I prefer not to pick shot out of my meals.)

I don't fire the man's long-bow, the draw-weight on it is beyond me, but I will have my own eventually, and I look forward to trying the new crossbow.

The bow, staff, double daggers, short sticks (escrima,) fan, no nunchuks though.

what about throwing stars, ninja style

[nichevo]

Condor,

Welcome from bloody ole Texas. Where in the UK are you? I'm married to a Brit and used to live near Manchester England.

[W.Lynn]

what about throwing stars, ninja style

If you want to throw away a weapon, get a rock.

[Boston_Joe]

Or if you have to, a punch. You can throw those more than once.

[W.Lynn]

Or if you have to, a punch. You can throw those more than once.

But when a rock breaks your knuckles don't hurt.

[Sacajawea]

OMG, you guys are funny. But it's true - rocks are free and you don't hurt your hands, nor provide the opponent a way to control you.

[redman2006]

Lynn, or a hi point.
When the ammo shortage was going, the most valuable part of a hi point was the full mag.

[redman2006]

Condor, I have a question.

We hear rumors of areas of london not safe for Christians because of muslim immigrants. Are there no fly zones really there?

[Condor24]

Sorry for the delay it's been a mad couple of days! To answer your question redman as far as I know London is fine for christians. With the bombings and attacks of late it seems to have rallied people together both Muslim and Christian, as for the Muslim immigrants I've not heard much about them other than that the radicals that excecuted these attacks where born here in the UK for the most part and radicalised here aswell. I'm from the north of England so we were more affected by the Manchester bombing than the London attacks.

[Infidel]

of course you do realize the birthright citizen Muslims generally have been radicalized by Immigrants. I have yet to see a jihadist group run by muslims that are not from the middle east, africa, or asia. and even then the asian groups have been traced back to seria and jordan in alot of cases.

[Condor24]

Well it does seem to be that they originated from those countries in the form of sharia law preachers who are out on our streets preaching hate and intolerance. It's quite shocking to be frank that they can do that and not face backlash. Do you have the same in the US or is tolerance for those kinds of thing quite low?

[Sacajawea]

Condor - outside of urban areas, tolerance would be nil. I imagine the authorities would ask them to leave town if caught preaching sharia on the street; like NOW and escort them out of the county. Rural police and sheriffs know it would only be a matter of time, before someone decided to take action on their own. Then, they'd have a big mess on their hands.

People in the cities are beginning to wise up, but there are still many of our fellow Americans who will excuse them and what they're advocating, promote it as "who we are" (this is BS), and even condemn anyone who has thoughtful reservations about the wisdom of inviting people who have publicly declared their aim is to kill as many of you as they can, into one's own country. The people protecting jihadis therefore are seen as "part of the problem"... and perhaps also, as having chosen a side already.

I don't know how true it is, but it's making the rounds online that Hillary Clinton said "if we'd all adopt Islam, we'd be safe from terrorism". Of course, it's outrageous... and someone is pushing clickbait.

And then, there's the little problem with that statement, if true: ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack on the Ayatollah Khomenei's gravesite and Iranian Parliament.

Personally, I'm feeling the energy/pressure building again for something hugely surprising to occur soon. The kind of thing, where I'll be glad I've over-stuffed my pantry and filled all my empty gas cans... and maybe buy some more charcoal & lighter fluid. I'll inventory my batteries, check my radios, prep the generators and water pump... and close the gate, drop a tree across the road, and start digging a moat to fill with alligators and pirrhanas.

now it also depends on the city. Here I can guarantee you zero tolerance. We have alot of people who would take matters in their own hands.

Condor i bet you never thought you would be the voice of an entire country LOL.
