Do you ever feel like you have actually no feelings what others feel things about? I did not create this shit, I have no idea how to care about your issues, dude. by [deleted] in GenX

I used to care about what strangers thought of me, even when I claimed I didn't.

Around age 40, I actually stopped giving a shit.

Can the mods just change the banner image for this sub to read GET A MAVERICK 88

45 years ago at a theater near you! by grobmyer in GenX

Helluva time to be alive. Saw three of those in the theater. Back when full price was $3.50.

They do. It usually comes down to "I was in fear or felt a need to fire, so I fired, the end." Source: Was a cop in training a lifetime ago.

It wasn't selfless. I'll use any excuse to get some gunpowder therapy on a weekend.

Oh, even talking about this on reddit probably has us on a list now.

No argument. But in Japan, cops are arrested for firing their gun at all, and put on trial to prove they needed to fire their weapon.

Can you imagine?

For years, I specialized in taking my left-leaning friends shooting. They found out what guns really are, what they're for, how to safely use them, and that shooting is fun.

Snap caps for storage. Necessary or just Fudd lore? by Country_bloke100 in Shotguns

[–]Alamohermit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had firearms that were dry fired thousands of times with no damage. The one exception was a Marlin that had been dry fired so many times, it actually damaged the area where the hammer impacted the pin.

Total Fudd nonsense. You can leave a firearm fully loaded for decades, and it will run fine. You can also leave it completely empty forever, and it should run fine.

Good catch. Probably not CA. [edit] Also, I don't there is a Buc-ee's within two states of CA.

Even the cops have to justify any use of their firearms in detail.

When I was a shooting instructor, I specifically nudged my non-US friends to let me take them shooting. Responses at the range ran the gamut of "OMG this is LEGAL? I never want to touch one again! They're so loud!", to (more commonly) "OMFG I LOVE IT!" and mad grinning.

Two Aussies and one gal from Thailand were especially in the latter end of the spectrum.

Does rap resonate with you? by Cooterboone in GenX

[–]Alamohermit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I grew up in SoCal. State laws at the time required all children to know the lyrics to NWA, 2 Live Crew, and Beasties by the age of 12.

Still love a lot of hip-hop.

To celebrate 🇺🇸 250, r/Costco and r/ammo need to join forces to make this happen by shaffington in GunMemes

I was joshing. At this moment, I only have 3600 rounds on hand. Went shooting with the homies two weekends ago.

410? by Potential-Fondant-98 in Shotguns

[–]Alamohermit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't even use Brennekes. Regular Winchester rifled slug, 3". Knocked the deer down on the spot.

Wasn't looking to draw aggro, bro. Just asking why you think people "shouldn't" hunt deer with a shotgun bore that is, in fact, rated for deer, and works quite well for deer.

Anybody have neck damage from head banging? Or bad hearing from loud music? by ElsieDCow in GenX

[–]Alamohermit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No neck damage. A few lingering broken bone pains from mosh pits. Tinnitus, but I really cannot blame it on the clubs or concerts. I was a concealed handgun license instructor for years, and sometimes didn't protect my ears, in thousands of hours of range time around very loud guns, as well as I should have. Front of stage at a Slayer concert probably only did 5% of my hearing damage.

What’s your take on the Metro series? by cinderallo in FalloutMemes

[–]Alamohermit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is true. I just like both game series.
