I did skeet shooting with my dad for a year or two when I was a lad but it was a huge hassle and the dudes at the gun club were really weird

Most gun dudes are weird.

Had this Chilean wine that was crazy good. I don't typically like wines that are fruit forward but this one blew my mind. I've been searching for it all night and I can only find 2015 and 2017 vintages. 2016 was what I had. I'm terrified of pulling the trigger on a different vintage.

so there

I can top all of you, my Dad left to pursue a career in alcoholism after I was born and I didn't meet him until I was a teenager but her let me ride his motorcycle one time.

if i were to get into guns, i'd get a nice hunting rifle for shooting targets. without training im not willing to undertake, guns are almost useless for self-defense.

Someone broke into my house when I used to live in CO and I held him at gun point with a sig p229 until the cops showed up.

Granted I’ve probably had more training than everyone on BG not named ghost_wheel or FHB, but this is still a silly ass statement.

[Xno Kappa]

The fucker is lucky. Had it been nowadays with my one year old in the house I would’ve shot him with zero hesitation lol.

[Fondue]

did they have a gun?

[BaneTheBrawler]

i did say almost useless. the intimidation factor is by far its most valuable trait.

[Fondue]

thats called brandishing and its usually a felony
only pull it out to blast someone tbh

[NynJa]

In Canada, shooting an intruder is a bigger crime than the B&E and attempted theft combined.

lol

i mean in situations where anyone would reasonably blast someone, like a home invasion. but blasting someone reliably at anything but very short range requires training. and carrying requires training to be at all effective.

which is why i said they're almost useless for self defense without training.

[BaneTheBrawler]

without training, firing a gun in self defense is basically just spray and pray.

[NynJa]

git gud

[Demosthenes]

I think the UK has a reasonable force thing. If you magically end up shooting someone, they better have a gun too.

[Demosthenes]

You can go on the offensive in your house, but within reason.

Basically how the U.S military does it. Or supposed to anyway.
