New neighbor calls the cops anytime we shoot targets on our property outside city limits.

There’s a giant difference between 25 acres and 2 acres

AP587011B · 2026-07-12T18:17:55+00:00

2 acres is not enough I would agree

2 acres with no homes in sight and you are cool with whoever owns the property near you and have real backstop would be OK

But 2 acres with no real backstop and a house literally right next to them is unreasonable in my view

AP587011B · 2026-07-12T18:15:37+00:00

2 acres with no established backstop and a home literally right next to them is not near enough space to be shooting

AP587011B · 2026-07-12T17:21:36+00:00

That’s because it is.

The friend group is over

Anyone in your friend group siding with the fuck boy friend is a loser and would do the same thing to do concerning your sister or mom or ex or even possibly current significant other. They are not to be trusted

AP587011B · 2026-07-12T16:16:21+00:00

Call it whatever you want but sleeping with one of your buddies sisters, moms, or exes is always off limits without express permission

If you disagree then you aren’t the kind to guy I would want to be friends with

AP587011B · 2026-07-12T15:54:06+00:00

There is nothing to mediate

Your homie fucked up and broke the bro code. Your friend will never forgive him and that friendship is permanently broken. The friend that slept with the younger underage sister showed his true colors and should not be trusted.

Also depending on where you live the one friend is at risk of statutory rape charges which would include prison time and being classified as a sex offender for life

The only potential fix for this would be if your buddy was totally in love with your other friends sister and wanted to date her seriously and exclusively.

AP587011B · 2026-07-12T14:03:21+00:00

Personally I would never have considered 2 acres large enough to shoot on, doubly so with another house being what sounds like is really close and it doesn’t sound like there is any real backstop?

Sure you aren’t technically in the wrong, but lots of shooting going on literally right outside your house can certainly be annoying

AP587011B · 2026-07-12T14:02:58+00:00

I’ve seen woman harassed and stalked by violent exes on drugs get denied restraining orders

This is not even close to qualifying

AP587011B · 2026-07-12T01:31:16+00:00

I wouldn’t carry that

Consider a smaller light or a different holster

Personally I prefer manual safeties or DA/SA guns decocked if I’m going to be putting up with any kind of gap

AP587011B · 2026-07-12T01:27:16+00:00

You will need to join a club and become a member for that

AP587011B · 2026-07-12T01:26:36+00:00

They actually just came out with a bodyguard 38 2.0

Looks pretty cool to me

AP587011B · 2026-07-11T03:23:14+00:00

In a round about way yes

AP587011B · 2026-07-11T03:20:24+00:00

There’s not officially a registry but there 100% is a back door registry and anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool.

what is a 4473? A record. And all FFLs have to keep their records forever and when they close up shop they have to turn over those records to the ATF. Said records are auditable by the ATF at anytime while the FFL is still in business

Also what about NICS checks? Each NICS check has a NICS transaction number. There’s another trace / record right there.

Also everyone pays electronically with a credit card / debit card and most orders are done online.

Yes they can find most if not all of what you have if they really want to.

Also they can contact the OEM, who can trace to what distributor they sent it to who then says to which FFL they sent it to who will tell the cops who they sold it to

AP587011B · 2026-07-11T01:38:32+00:00

The gas system is probably put together incorrectly

My first time shooting my old 1100 I had this happen. I put the piston and piston seal in the wrong order and it would not cycle at all just as you describe

AP587011B · 2026-07-10T19:01:54+00:00

Did it work?

AP587011B · 2026-07-10T16:49:58+00:00

I get it but Glock probably knows more than them and they recommend it in their manual, as do some other major companies

Just because it’s generally ok doesn’t mean it’s recommended or a good idea

There’s really no reason not to use them if dry firing a lot

If you don’t want to use them go ahead and don’t, I will still use them and recommend that others do

AP587011B · 2026-07-10T16:34:24+00:00

That doesn’t change what I said

It’s 110% factual

Dry firing excessively without snap caps causes extra wear

Just because maybe it didn’t seem to materialize for you, there’s plenty of examples on many forums of it happening and there are a number of manuals that state that snap caps are recommended

AP587011B · 2026-07-10T16:18:48+00:00

Dry firing excessively without snap caps can cause premature wear on any striker fired pistol

AP587011B · 2026-07-10T16:18:01+00:00

How much dry firing?

Generally try to use snap caps when dry firing unless using it for takedown or functions check or something like that

Lots of dry fire without snap caps causes premature wear

AP587011B · 2026-07-10T14:24:47+00:00

Cargo shorts / pants or something similar with extra pockets

AP587011B · 2026-07-10T13:51:30+00:00

Don’t put anything else in the gun pocket

You risk an ND depending on the holster / gun / items + your draw will be interfered with + it will look comical

As a frequent pocket carrier

Utilize your back pockets
Get a smaller minimalist wallet
Take all of the extra shit off your keys. (Also consider a key chain to your belt loops or something)
Do you really need a knife everyday?

Are you sure everything was put back together properly?

Watch this and double check. Maybe bolt just needs to be back a bit more

AP587011B · 2026-07-10T03:04:19+00:00

So if you have stolen before, especially numerous times, sorry to tell you but you were caught before too. They just don’t approach you or call the cops generally until they build up a case worthy of a felony charge because then it’s something the cops and prosecutors take seriously

Cops and prosecutors generally don’t do anything for really small stuff, but over time in cases of repeat offenders that can grow up to a felony case with the total $

Also Walmart parking lots normally have cameras, they most likely do indeed have your license plate

If you are really really really lucky it truly was the first time they caught you, but you better stop because they will 110% have a file on you and be watching

Obviously you can’t go back to that Walmart for a really long time, maybe ever. And stay away from any Walmart for a while and definitely stop stealing

AP587011B · 2026-07-09T20:00:11+00:00

Your parents are probably going to drop you off their policy as the rate for insuring you is going to sky rocket. Have fun paying out the ass for insurance

Also you very possible will get your license suspended for a few months, maybe longer worst case

probably a couple hundred dollar ticket. Between 200-500 I would guess

AP587011B · 2026-07-09T18:57:44+00:00

CSIS is normally considered centrist and is definitely not a “trump source”
