I need a side arm to go with my ar15. Im wanting either a glock or s&w m&p in one of these calibers.

Best answer: Get stuffed.

One Primary, Secondary & Sidearm firearm of your choice to carry during a shtf/wrol scenario.

I'm moving to Austin and currently live in Cleveland. In Cleveland you definitely have to go to the range. There isn't any public land and shooting is not taken casually. In Texas is there huge swaths of land you can just plink on without anyone bother you?

Best answer: Submit ATF Form 1 with all the other things it requires and the tax stamp. Oh, and live in a state that allows SBRs.

So this past month or so during the summer break, all my younger siblings have been doing are playing on their devices and watching youtube, etc. and I want to spend time with them and do something that'll get their minds of their devices. But I can't think of anything to do. Also, I want to give my mom a break (also because she has a headache at the moment) so that she can relax and chill for a bit. Thanks!

im not gonna shoot it at anyone this is just my own morbid curiosity. 435fps pistol shooting .177 cal pellets. im thinking hollowpoints or pointer. at point blank range. can it pierce a human skull? and how deep will it go into soft tissue?

Where can i find some reloading dies for this. I saw a video where someone did the same thing but with a 45acp casing, but no information was given on how to get/make them. I want to neck down a 10mm case to fire a 223/5.56 round. I,dont care if you think its a stupid idea. I just want to do it. I'm new to cartridge reloading so im not sure what to do. Like i said im just doing this for fun. I know i would have to custom make a barrel for it and i am prepared to spend money. I want to know if anyone else has done it or if you know where,to,get some reloading dies to do this. Thanks

not planning to kill one ;) but hiking in "bear country" (european brown bear) so should i take my 12/70 shotgun (with slugs) or my 7,62 mosin nagant with me for protection?

So while walking through a small patch of woods I found a skunk on the trail. It was dead, but couldn t be natural causes or predator. It s head, neck, legs, tail, and fur was all gone. Some of the neck and leg bones remains: bloodied. There was also a small patch of fur left on about the spinal area. Why would a predator eat the least meated parts, and go through the effort of tearing the fur off? How could a disease or old age destroy the head and legs to never be found?

Best answer: The internet has a lot of material on the topic of camping safely in bear country.

While it's of course true that a tent offers no protection from bears, people do camp in bear country with little risk of bear attack. They take precautions like never having food anywhere near where they sleep. It's FOOD bears are after, not people in sleeping bags. If your parents' plans include precautions like this, you're being fearful instead of making a realistic assessment of risk. If the plan is to camp in a developed campground -- a place where there are park rangers in charge of campers -- the rangers won't allow tent camping where there is significant risk of bears coming into the campground.

For extra reassurance, talk to park rangers about your family's plans when you get there. If your parents are truly being reckless, the park ranger will get involved in keeping your family safe.
