Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[MechanicMatt]

All this talk of bears....

in the commie state of New York ruled by lord Cuomo, if you nab a bear they send you a information packet to try and collect as much information as they can. I guess that bastard taking such good care of the criminals and people on the government teet, he stole the money from the conservationists and now us hunters have to do the leg work. Other pic just to make me smile again.....

I daily a 1911 or XD subcompact neither holds more then 9 in the mag. I feel for the folks that cant run standard capacity mags but at the same time I've never felt under gunned with either of my setups. Training is FAR more important then mag capacity.

Totally get it.

That is not the point.

The point is. Nobody can tell me how many I WANT to carry.

A few more pictures. Mustang Mike has a few running around his hunting property. This poor fella found himself on the wrong end of a .35Whelen. Not gonna lie, the death moan scared the crap outta me and I waited for my Uncle to track it with me. Wanted a second rifle in the woods with me. I surely didn’t want to get mauled, I’m just a skinny guy and a bite from a Bear sure wouldn’t feel too good....

I’m completely against any type of restrictions on magazine capacity. With that being said I only own one semi auto pistol and the nearest thing I have to an assault rifle is a M1 Garand.

If I have a pistol with me, 99 percent of the time I have a Ruger Security Six in .357. I shoot much more accurately with a roller gun and it packs a lot of punch compared to most auto cartridges.

I can’t imagine getting myself into a situation where more than 6 rounds would be needed but I suppose there’s a first time for everything.

If you end up needing to fire upon a human assailant I can guarantee one shot (even a miss) will provide for a major attitude adjustment and they will only be concerned with escaping after round number one comes out. And if you empty your gun into something mean and hairy that is charging you and that didn’t stop it, chances are you won’t have time for a second magazine before its eating you. Lol.

No offense sir. No argument either. But Lets make sure we use the term “assault Rifle” properly. It takes a handful of extra money and a lot of paperwork and time to have a REAL “Assault Rife”

We agree on the principle of “ don’t tell me how many i can carry” [emoji1303][emoji1303][emoji1303]

I’m totally in agreement, SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED

that said, my protection when I get scared is a coach gun. I don’t know a single person that’s going to argue with 2 12ga barrels pointed at him.....

but it really irks me that I’m told 10 rounds is max for me in my rifles.... how about a criminal that’s doesn’t comply to the laws comes at me with a 30round Mag, you know how to advance your position in a fire fight? To suppress the enemy by slinging more lead down range to pin them down while you advance or retreat. So I go 10rounds against......

And Steve, you better not go too leftie on us, in Australia I’m pretty sure your BAR and M1 are no no’s

There is no such thing as an assault weapon...that is a term dredged up by the media.

good answer

Three round box magazine...the Savage is on the left, my 1895gs 45-70 on the right. The 375 Ruger cartridge has reportedly taken every large and dangerous game in North America and Africa.

On a side note...I think we had a bear walk by us, heard some shooting in the general area, about fifteen minutes later had something walk just beyond our sight in the brush, and it grunted (I've heard bears grunt before, I know that is what I heard). After an hour or so, my father headed to the house and I took a tour down in those parts...we thought that maybe one was hit and might be piled up down there, but I didn't see anything but squirrels and deer.

Deer season is Saturday, I hope my 10yo daughter can tie into a buck...she uncannily accurate with a rifle.

Up here in the great white north we have hockey so every child learns hand to hand combat. As long as we have our skates handy, we have no need for firearms. Besides, 6 months of the year it's too cold for crime and the other 6 months you'd best be busy chopping wood.

Nice man I didn’t get a deer this year now that the middle daughter is playing travel softball like her older sister seems like there is never enough time

We're gonna need a video!

I see what you did there Jeff .

 

[chipper1]

That's what I tell everyone when there's a pellet vrs wood stove debate .
"I can always burn the kitchen table and chairs if I have to , try that in your pellet stove Lol"

I have a pellet stove here that helps when it gets real cold or we are leaving/coming home after vacation, it eats any pellets you put in there, I call it the 350 chevy of pellet stoves. I've threatened to sharpen the auger so I could just drop splits in there, I think it would take the table and chairs too .

I said that in my post also. I feel for the folks who cant carry what they want. If a 20 round 9mm and a spare makes you happy have at it. I have a good friend that thinks my setups are not enough. He carries a double stack 45 and 2 spares, to much weight for a daily setup IMO but hes happy with it.

 

[KiwiBro]

Holy moly mother of! Those tables! Jeff, you are an artisan, and kiwibro too I think, looking forward too seeing a 'beer shot' of yours!

Thanks. I don't really drink but knocked one back to salute Dan's dad. Sanded and oiled table today:

I didn’t feel right to share photos earlier but since then every local news source in the area has put out an article on this in the last two days.

Here’s my neighbor’s beautiful hand hewn log home going up in smoke on Sunday. To say it was horrific to watch would be an understatement.

They are planning to rebuild in the spring.

That would have been heartbreaking for them.

Bad day of bear hunting is better than a good day of work...

Depends how bad the day was. If the bad day bear hunting involved the bear chowing down on you, I think I'd take the day at work.

If 4 guys break into your house at 3am, beat you and your wife up, trash the place, steal all your stuff and drive off with it all in your car, we're allowed to ask them to stop, and that's about it. Ask politely, mind, so you don't offend anyone.

There's a bit of a problem in parts of Melbourne with African lads who immigrated to the country recently - 'refugees'- (or in some cases are the children of said recent immigrants) doing just that. They get picked up now and then by the cops but then some lefty magistrate lets them off with a warning and the cycle continues, and the hoodlums know it. Only occasionally do they get jail time and at best it might be a few months.
