      Question that is "Bugging" me.... input appreciated

      I appreciate the responses so far. Let me clarify a few things. My family and I are approximately 750 miles from our nearest relatives (basically all of our relatives - many of which think/plan ahead as well) There are several situations out here which could force us from our home if it...

      Question that is "Bugging" me.... input appreciated

      So here is my issue... I do my best to be prepared to either bug in or out, depending on the situation. This is the dilemma..... When it comes to bugging out, it is one thing for me to survive on minimal stuff. I am quite comfortable taking care of myself in even harsh environments. Providing...

      What have you done this week to prep?

      The wife was always supportive, but not real into the idea of everything. She liked the idea of me prepping for the family, and she would throw out ideas as well, but just recently she really got to where she understands the importance of it. So I revamped our BOB's so they more accurately suite...

      If you saw this guy, would you shoot him?

      Well said, Denny, on both above posts. I would rep again if I could. dcary7

      If you saw this guy, would you shoot him?

      Denny appears to be more "up to speed" than I am on how many of IN's departments handle things. So I defer that much to him. I am not certain how all various departments handle things. I don't work there. As I stated before though, I am not oppose to your suggestion, it sounds logical to me...

      If you saw this guy, would you shoot him?

      Thank you for providing a direct response. With a couple of quirks and side notes, I do not necessarily disagree with you. It would seem to be a reasonable solution for the most part. So, lets get started: "I will answer your direct question directly and in response, I hope you will answer mine...

      Agreed.

      If you saw this guy, would you shoot him?

      Ok Cathy, let me rephrase that, I have never seen a regular police officer make extra money from writing extra tickets or getting convictions. Im not talking about being paid overtime for additional enforcement, but I have no knowledge of what you are inferring. If I write 1 ticket or 1000...

      If you saw this guy, would you shoot him?

      So you would rather see police who are scared to take any enforcement action at all because an honest mistake where they were trying to do right and protect people would cost them their job/freedom/livelihood/ etc... all for the modest pay and daily risk they take. With no support from their...

      If you saw this guy, would you shoot him?

      I'm not disputing your scenario or your logic on the matter. I was just pointing out what I saw. What seems to be the theme though is human error. No two encounters are identical. Everyone does things differently both LEOs and regular citizens. There is no cookie cutter mold of how things will...

      If you saw this guy, would you shoot him?

      I don't see how the scenario you described would require the old man to realize the first person is a LEO which is a valid defense in court (especially when you describe all of the LEOs clearly being corrupt enough to all get on stand and lie their @$$ off under oath) - not a biased interjection...

      How did you feel during and after your first time OCing?

      I didn't like it that much. I was nervous, and more paranoid. I felt like I was focusing on my gun way more than what I was trying to be out doing/enjoying. Nothing against it, I can OC comfortably with people I'm familiar with or lower scale public places, but when it gets crowded, I find...

      If you saw this guy, would you shoot him?

      This is an unfortunate incident. The officer made a terrible mistake. There are too many factors here to be too judgmental. If that video clip was resized only to the point of where the traffic stop was made, the man exits the vehicle, retrieves object from bed of truck, then the officer...

      First AR Build complete

      Yeah, I'm researching optics right now. Taking my time on it, hoping to find a good deal.

      First AR Build complete

      Thanks for the comments all! I can't wait to get it to the range and break it in! Yes it is the ACS stock. From handling/shouldering the rifle I like it. It seems pretty comfortable. My recommendation is to do a lot of homework. Read and Read what you can. As far as assembly, it really is...

      First AR Build complete

      Well it's been an ongoing thing since July, but here is how it will stay (for the time being) lol. My first AR. I decided I wanted to build it. Ordered a rifle kit and stripped lower from Palmetto State Armory, full magpul hardware. I'm pleased with it. Was cheaper to build it, I learned more...

      SHTF thoughts on food acquisition

      Just tossing this out here. I've noticed in a lot of peoples posts regarding providing food during a bugout. Most ask what caliber is best for harvest animals, etc. Here is some food for thought.... no pun intended Alternative methods of supplementing food aside from conventional stored food...

      Tactically Squared Away?

      All good advice given. My 2:twocents:. I am a minimalist when it comes to calibers. My mindset - 2 is one and one is none. Stock up on the calibers you feel most appropriate and affective for your method of survival, and have more than one gun in that caliber. That way, if for whatever reason...

      I got tased today...

      Nice video man. I haven't been tased yet but got hit with OC for the first time last month. I'd be fine with never getting hit with it again. It was not pleasant. Best thing is to just try to keep mentally calm and focus on breathing. The pain passes...eventually lol.
