Drugs and Guns
    #26760505 - 06/20/20 07:26 PM (3 years, 7 months ago)

From a real gun safety checklist:

Do not drink or take drugs while shooting and while shooting.

Also do not take drugs when writing and/or editing gun safety tips.

I was in the Army Infantry...made my living with a gun. Copious quantities of LSD was standard field equipment for me. A good portion of the Vietnam and post Vietnam era veterans were acid freaks. More than once I qualified with my M16A1 rifle...expert no less while tripping on large quantities of acid. I was safe...kept my focus. I even did helicopter assaults tripping. For long road marches and late night watch it was golden. I did well. So guns and drugs is a generalization...guns and alcohol or heroin...might be bad...but psychedelics and guns are like beans and cornbread.

Please note I am a liberal. Without guns and violence you would not enjoy the little freedom you got...other people who had guns would take your freedom, your life and all your shit...doubt you would be useful as a slave. What you have is only possible because people guard you with the threat of violence...it is why you can pretend be be high minded and moral...violence make that illusion possible for you. They are not symbols but tools like a hammer or a screwdriver. Yes I hail from Kentucky and I grew up around rednecks...your intolerance and hatred for your fellow humans is quite distressing to me.

That's right and it's pretty simple, everyone needs to drop their guns and hold up a peace sign.

What you have is only possible because people guard you with the threat of violence...it is why you can pretend be be high minded and moral

Pretend to be high minded and moral? Am I not on your level? :ass:

Look, I want X to drop his gun and Y to drop his gun. I don't want only X to drop his gun and Y to keep his gun.

They are not symbols but tools like a hammer or a screwdriver.

One could say a confederate flag is just a flag. :shrug:

Yes I hail from Kentucky and I grew up around rednecks...your intolerance and hatred for your fellow humans is quite distressing to me.

I wouldn't call it hatred, it's more about awareness.

Try inviting a war-torn third world migrant into your backyard and shoot with guns, ask him/her what he/she feels about it.

I own two guns...one a .30 large bore air rifle...the other is a .45 Hawken black powder muzzle loading rifle. I would love to have a flintlock longrifle. I was an infantryman years ago. I shot all kinds of guns. I had a lot of fun doing that. I used guns, grenades, explosives, and rocket launchers. Once I was aware what war was about I never wanted to fire them at people. My instructors had mostly seen war in Vietnam. They told me that war was a terrible thing to have to do. Glad I never had to participate in one...but I accept that occasionally it is necessary. Often it is used to oppress and enslave and steal. The United States is not always the good guys either.

It is easy to express the ideal of nonviolence...but due to the nature of humans it will never be the norm. When I was a kid my first band that I loved was The Moody Blues. I liked their messages of peace and love...and I still do. However people aren't quite there as a species.

Now I trained with guys from war torn countries. After training I was going back to my barracks and off to train elsewhere, but these who had been at war most of their lives were going back to war. They were not gun shy. Also not all rednecks...and I guess I could be called one...are gun toting idiots....they do exist but it's not the rule.

That is close minded...I also like traditional wooden bows and arrows...that I make myself...and I'm good with a blowgun...a Cherokee blowgun with wooden darts a foot long. I also can throw axes and knives. I have never purposefully killed anything I did not intend to eat...and I have hunted but I am not an avid hunter...but I don't begrudge hunters who eat their kill. Playing with weapons safely...particularly primitive ones...is great fun and teaches one much about history. My favorite guns are muzzle-loaders, but a .50 machine gun is pretty fun to shoot. I do not even kill flies or cockroaches. Last year I had had an infestation of large rattlesnakes around my house and my dog was bit. Icelander encouraged me to just kill them, but I caught six of them by hand and relocated them for their and my well being. How many pacifists kill insects and mice? I just don't create an environment for them to occupy. I love weapons, but I only kill when absolutely unavoidable. Most of the anti-gun people are merely self important and looking for an excuse to look down on others.

are you kidding,
I see guns I check for exits and vehicles.
I have never ever been in a situation where a gun was necessary.
I held one 35 years ago - a coke dealer put it in my hands as a joke.

amazing that people find them interesting, valuable, and necessary.

I would rather have a crane or a back hoe if I had a big property.

So if I didn't like music I would say that musical instruments are garbage? By the way I am a middling luthier and have made complex musical instruments. Now carrying a gun because you a dealer is bad shit. I have never carried a gun for protection at all as I am not overly scared of my fellow humans. I have spent time in hardcore Mexican drug cartel country like the Sierra Madre in Chihuahua. I was never afraid because I wasn't playing the game. All I saw was the basic goodness of other people. Now I did learn that if you buy illegal drugs like marijuana, coke, heroin, etc... you are contributing to more gun violence than any several thousand legit gun owners..I do not purchase illegal drugs anymore these days. In cartel country the AK47 is king and when it concerns business they will use it.

Going into my yard out in the desert with a black powder rifle...circa 1840 and trying to hit paper targets with a safe backdrop is immoral? You ever played darts or played horseshoes...same shit. Now primitive weapons were used by our native forbears to feed themselves. At least they did not force the animals through assembly line slaughter where they are butchered before being completely dead. Anyone who buys meat at the grocery, wears leather shoes, uses rubber tires, or uses any animal products in anything...which most things have some, is a killer with blood on their hands completely. Me puncturing pieces of paper with a black powder rifle which is impractical for any self defense is innocuous. I did own a cartridge gun which took modern bullets, but I got rid of it because I never fired it...but some people do like it...doesn't mean they are bad. I also support more gun control because too many idiots have guns who are not safe. Sweden's laws would be a good model. Now I had military training which was disciplined and safety oriented...so I feel I am near best case scenario for gun ownership. From an early age I had a fascination with warrior cultures like the ancient Norse, Native Americans, Zulus, and the mammoth hunters for example. Learning their weapons is a window to that culture. This extends to modern military...I satisfied my curiosity about modern military by being an infantry soldier. I still am learning about the older ones.

A crane or a backhoe would be nice...but I don't have 200K to spend on it.

Years ago I had a couple nice gentlemen knock on my door at 1:30am, politely asking me to open the door. I cut the lights and huddled in the hallway with a stick I kept sitting around. I called the police and told them what was happening. They told me they would be right out. About 15 minutes later I did see a police car drive down my street. That was it. They did follow up with a detective a few days later.

Fortunately those guys took the lights out as a sign I wasn't in the mood for company, but that did prompt me to buy my first gun, a 12 gauge. I've since upgraded to a 9mm SBR. In between I bought a small pistol with a 3" barrel but you would be surprised how difficult it can be to hit something at close range with it when you don't give yourself time to sight in. The SBR with a red dot can be shot from the hip. I've also got a few other pistols and plan to get a hunting rifle eventually. There's an outdoor gun range I visit nearby. I've never gotten into the tournament stuff but it's fun to set up targets and work on accuracy.

The problem with carrying a gun for self defense is that the training needs to be under high pressure and fast moving. Your typical concealed carry class just creates scared people who can't aim. Often times scared people fire before acquiring the target and hit the wrong person...or kill someone who just startled them. The cops at the city I work only fire 40 rounds a year in training. As an infantryman I fired many thousands of rounds a year. No wonder so many untrained scared cops kill civilians every year. I strongly suggest combat handgun training if you really want to own a handgun.

A couple of years ago an off duty prison guard who recently moved to the desert fired a 357 magnum at me. She had been calling border patrol about perceived illegal immigrants every Friday night. The sheriff and border patrol told me it had gotten old for them. It culminated in her firing 3 .357 magnum rounds at me walking my dog just before sunset. I saw the dirt kick up. I did not press charges but law enforcement pursueded her to move.

Cops do a ridiculously small ammount of training compared to our military people per year. Thats why you see fat out of shape cops who are obviously not fit for the job on first glance. More funding, more training, better cops.

I don't carry a gun, but the guns made for CC have such short barrels that even with time to aim a 20ft target can be difficult to hit consistently and I've put a couple hundred rounds through mine. I bought it to keep in my night stand but after using it I'd rather have the shotgun if the need arose. The SBR is best of both.

My step dad carries and would let himself be robbed before using it. So yea, various considerations beyond being able to aim.

maybe the little CC gun is good for killing people that keep getting too close in a line up at Home Depot.

clearly these things are great for shooting at neighborhood dog walkers.

are you guys sure you need these things, they make a lot of noise and see to kill people and can't be that cheap.

That's a lot of associative content red. Safe to say not everyone has the same associations as you.

Hopefully I'll never need the SBR or pistols.

I read that during the Iraqi "war" the kill ratio was 1 enemy combatant (or sketchy civilian) per 200,000 rounds fired. If true, it seems like a lot of scared and random shooting by trained military personnel.

If I remember correctly, the average American GI was lucky to have a dozen rounds during the Battle of the Bulge.

Just got a 15 round magazine in today for my Taurus G2c. I loaded it with Underwood Xtreme Defender +P+ with well over 400ft ft/bs of muzzle energy per round. The salesman told me it was an excellent anti-stalker round.

am I the only one here without any bullets or metal hand held bullet launchers?

I keep a 7 foot piece of theraband in my briefcase with which I can create a slingshot, or tie on a loose muffler, or any of thousands of other applications that like stretch and rubber.

I could send a borrowed bullet pretty rapidly at a target 10 foot away with a slingshot I guess, but it could take a minute or two and a good chair to build my shooter.

I don't ever carry any weapon...even in the desert less than a mile from the Mexican border. You know where all of the cartel hitmen and the rapists supposedly are coming from. I see these "dangerous" illegals frequently. They have never tried to kill me or, god forbid, rape me. (are 300lb 6' 4" mid 50s men desirable to rapists...not sure) But carrying a slingshot that you would have to contruct in seconds is almost worse than carrying nothing...like I do. If I had to go armed I would just move.

I did have an illegal immigrant pet one of my dogs once. She is a 75lb bluenose pit bull...very intimidating looking. Fortunately Mexican people love pit bulls.

I find the gun discussion always interesting, as I've been on both sides of it.  I still own several (7) of them, relics from my days of being ruled by fear, but these days I just see them as a way to arm an attacker for the most part, unless you're hell bent on killing someone.  I used to carry even, but I decided I'd rather be robbed of my $20 cash I usually have than end up shooting someone or arming my attacker :shrug:

Got the things locked up in the safe now, only really saving the hunting worthy ones in case society collapses :lol:

This shit goes on day after day (usually by one demographic) and people are getting sick of it. It certainly is not paranoia.

I wonder why a site like activeselfprotection.com would post a video like that...  hmmm.  It's almost like they picked it to suit a narrative.

Not that I'm anti protect yourself, I just think pro-gun groups like that post shit like that all the time for exactly that purpose - paranoia.  Feeding off fears is all they do.

People get stabbed and stuck by knives and hit by cars every day too, should we all be wearing armor of some sort?  Or maybe just watch where we go if possible...

No, but when I was depressed it occurred to me, off & on to get one.
It tends to be a messy way to go, though.
Better diet, sunshine & vitamin D, and perhaps meditation,  and who knows what else, seem to have removed such sorry thoughts, or any identification with such a thought, in the event one were to pop up occasionally.
