Many conflicting reports on this but I will say the pictures and videos I saw clearly show this dude in a "shooter ready" position with his rifle. If this dude rolled up on my car with his elbow...
Can you imagine if someone did this in the 1700's? Like a telegram service refused to send telegrams to/from a political candidate? Washington would have had their head!
Looks like we all could write our own book on if America could be saved and how we would do it. I think we could save America by voting like independent thinkers and stop buying into this two-party non-sense. Super simple. Stop voting like sheep and you stop getting treated like sheep.
As for...
The most frightening aspect of the "new normal" is not how many unconstitutional laws our governor and the legislature is pushing. I expect that abuse from the autocrats. What scares me is how many Karens are reporting this "unlawful" activity and how many oathbreakers are enforcing it.
Understood. Court rulings do not change the law. In theory, they can nullify it but this is not always the case. Agree to disagree I guess. My point is that anyone against the progressive narrative will be targeted for selective enforcement. It's already happening.
Ok- fine. You win. Wasn't trying to argue. It's still a law even though it's been ruled unconstitutional which means some A-HOLE prosecutor can still charge for it.
Only WNY DA's have said that they will not enforce the 7rd limit the SAFE act put out. Go downstate? They can still charge you even though they know it's unconstitutional. Waste a whole bunch of your time, money, and mental health fighting an unconstitutional charge.
Unfortunately it will be the Republicans, pro-liberty folks, and any/all gun owners that will get special enforcement. They're only going to stop enforcing the law for the progressives and ANTIFA. Don't think for a second that they won't still arrest your ass for having 8 rounds in your EDC.
You're not understanding. I didn't say that. When I said they are dangerous because of our policy, I was talking about the drug cartels. These dangerous criminals are often supported by illegal activity like human trafficking and drug smuggling. The two victimless crimes we have created a black...
Absolutely. You would also be a victim. All I'm saying is that the majority of every-day immigrants are not dangerous criminals and they do not come here expecting a hand-out. I think it is an extremely small minority of people that are dangerous and they are only dangerous because of our...
I wasn't trying to get into a pissing contest with anyone. I think you are taking it a little too personal. I was involved with the local chapter for a number of years and got out of it right before Hollister's campaign. I know people who are in direct contact with her and Cohen regularly and...
She wants to abolish the atf and supports private property owner's rights to posses whatever defense weapons they want. But yeah, vote for whoever you wish. Trump has really shown us how pro-2A he is after the Las Vegas shooting...
I haven't seen any of this. Then again, guns are such a hot topic right now, she could be trying to get votes from the left too. Hence her very indeterminate stance on firearms. Either way, I don't think she is anti-2A.
I think the critical difference in the nature of those crimes is that bank...
Have you ever lived in an area with a very high population of immigrants? Particularly Latin ones? I ask because I worked landscaping for 12 years in Atlanta and my company would recruit illegals every morning for pennies compared to what American workers wanted. They were the hardest working...
I actually support open borders and ending wasteful spending on imprisoning millions of Americans for victimless crime. Believe it or not, a lot of "illegal" immigrants are pro-liberty and pro-capitalism. The Republican party is missing out on a seriously large demographic that for the most...
If I was in a swing state I would definitely vote Trump. Being in NY is part of the reason the decision was so easy. NY will pander to whatever policy gets blue votes in. Biden wins the popular vote? NY will vote blue. Guaranteed if Trump wins the popular vote this election NY will see the error...
I made the decision over the weekend to not sell my soul to either party and vote Jo Jorgensen this cycle. I don't care if she wins or not. At least I can sleep at night knowing I didn't vote in more of the status quo.
This looks like an attempted car-jacking to me. I cannot stress enough to my family and friends that if you are caught in a crowd like this, KEEP DRIVING. Do not attempt to stop. It will not subdue the mob. It will only escalate further. What do these people expect blocking public roadways?
Thank you all for the replies! I really like the belly band idea as well as the t-shirt, OWB holster, and button-down shirt idea. You all have certainly given me some food for thought. And yes, I realize I am being a little bit of a pansy but this is also our hobby that we like to be as...
I ride a Yamaha YXZ1000R just about every other weekend at various off-road parks/trail systems. Currently, I stuff my P320C (my EDC) in the glovebox of the machine when riding and then tuck it in my waistband if we stop somewhere. This has worked OK but it has some downfalls.
1. I cannot...
With the way things are going right now, I either have my firearm with me or I simply don't visit that place. It sounds like they are looking for a cheap way to remove their statues.
I hope most of the LEOs get mad and quit so there will be less of them to enforce unconstitutional laws and regs. I'd far prefer "street justice" over the BS "justice" handed to pro-2A in this state. Rob a bank? Appearance ticket. Possesion of a pistol with a legally held permit in another...
It's kind of like if the officer was saying he supports due process and a criminal's right to innocence until guilt is proven in court and then gets fired for it. Makes no sense. The department and the legislature are the ones who endorse this rhetoric (supposedly).
Right and his message was that he was going to uphold the constitution which his department made him swear an oath to before he got his badge. If the department is not ok with officers supporting the constitution publicly while on duty, the department should not require an oath to the...
This actually made me a little sick to my stomach. Publicly stating that you will defend your oath to the constitution (that you took publicly) is implying a cop won't do his/her job? I'd argue that any cop that has enforced NY gun laws has violated their oath to the constitution and therefore...
I am confused about how advertising you will defend your oath the constitution is considered making a political statement. The constitution is the framework unto which our country was founded; it's relevant regardless of your political views. If supporting the constitution is making a political...
We checked out the Ruger SR22 online last night, she likes the looks of it and it doesn't seem too MUCH larger than the 365. Obviously bigger but the size doesn't bother her that much. *Wink Wink*
She wants something to plink with at the range but also potentially carry it. I think the p365 is just a little intimidating right now as she got it only 2 weeks before covid19. I think shed be more confident and comfortable carrying with a .22 until the weather gets nice and we can go practice...
HAHA the replies have been very entertaining. I know she's a keeper!!! And believe me, I'm not bitching because she wants another gun. I'm not so stuck on the caliber thing I was just curious what other people would suggest. It was more of a playful debate between the two of us.
From what I've...
A little background- I carry a P320C daily. I'm confident, comfortable, and most importantly accurate with it. My girlfriend got her CCW late last year and decided on a P365 after trying a handful of similar guns. She is slightly less confident than she wants to be but also has not practiced at...
I talked to an OPP officer at the snowmobile/ATV show in Fall 2019. I had some questions about riding SXS unregistered on their trails as NYistan will not allow ATVs >1000lbs to be registered. Him and his fellow officers were very polite and professional. As a fellow ATV enthusiast, we got...
I have two Sigs. A 516 Patrol rifle and a 320C. I bought the 320C because I was looking for an EDC that was semi auto, striker fired, and capable of accepting an accessory. I tried the G19, the G19X, G17, M&P, H&K, I tried every variety the store had for rental. I settled on the 320C for one...
