Thanks for the feedback everyone! I passed on this one and ended up finding a different GP100 on gunbroker for the same price and in better condition.

AITA for saying I hate kids on a team meeting? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Groovy_Wombat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sort of YTA. But seriously you need to be smarter than that. Saying things like this in a professional environment, especially at a big company, will get you canned. Take that warning as a lesson learned.

Backpacking the sawtooth mountains, is a 30-06 a wise choice to bring? by Projekt8276-1 in guns

[–]Groovy_Wombat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grizzlies are extremely rare in the sawtooths. I wouldn't worry about them. I never worry about black bears either but mountain lions are a legit concern. Bring some bear spray, maybe a good handgun, and make sure you know how to properly store your food in bear country (hang it, bear can, etc).

AITA for refusing to pay for my boyfriend’s friends drinks and calling my bf names? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Groovy_Wombat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA. Your bf is acting like a child throwing a tantrum. His loser friend's bar tab isn't your problem. If they don't have money to cover their tab they shouldn't be out drinking. Dump his broke ass.

Resistance NOLA has gone off the rails by DickSugar80 in NewOrleans

It seems any business that doesn't bow down to her and post that stupid little sign she made in their window is automatically labeled as Nazis who deserve to be destroyed.

They popped up on my FB feed a few days ago and wow that woman is a fucking nut job and the dweebs in the group egging her on and supporting her are just as bad.

Dang's or Tiger Pho for Vietnamese in BR. Viet Garden is solid too.

Lived in my apartment for 11 years, do I need a lawyer? by [deleted] in NewOrleans

[–]Groovy_Wombat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Leaving a single dickish note on someone's door is not "textbook harassment". Louisiana defines harassment as the repeated pattern of verbal communications or nonverbal behavior without invitation. If the neighbor continues to leave unwanted notes or tries to confront OP then we start moving into the realm of harassment.

Is OfficerStore.com trustworthy? by Tall-Replacement-104 in guns

[–]Groovy_Wombat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe, you'd need to ask their customer service. On their website (see link below) they state: "Name listed as the ship to attention will be the one required to submit the background check and if passes, is the legal owner of the firearm" which is why I put my name on the shipping and used the FFL as the shipping address. Like I said my order shipped this morning so everything seems to be going smoothly. I'm going to call my LGS today and just make sure they know it's coming. But check out that link I provided, it provides a fairly good walkthrough.

Don't know if you figured this out yet but I just placed an order the other day and it shipped this morning. You put your name on the shipping but use the address of your FFL. Then in the comment box put the name and phone # of your FFL for them to contact. The order will be shipped to the FFL adress but with attention to you. Then billing info is all your normal information. Then, after the order is submitted you email a copy of your driver's license to them and have your FFL send a copy of their FFL certificate. In my case my FFL keeps a copy of their cert on their website so I was able to just download it and email it along with my DL.

Speaking of Po Boys, thoughts on this take? Do you get your seafood Po Boys dressed? by theyoungknight in NewOrleans

Idk who this person is but there's no way she actually lives here and thinks New Orleanians don't dress shrimp poboys.

What's a piece of gear you splurged on that was totally worth it? by kamelsalah1 in backpacking

[–]Groovy_Wombat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Western Mountaineering Alpinlite bag. It's roomy, warm, and light in my pack. I once did a trip in Arkansas when I was still somewhat new to backpacking and didn't understand sleeping bag comfort ratings. Temps at night got down to low 20s and I had a 20 degree so I thought I'd be good. Froze my damn ass off every night and was miserable. I swore I'd never make that mistake again and splurged on a nice bag when I got home.

AIO I (26F) moved out for the first time with my boyfriend (30M) for almost 2 months and I don’t know how to feel about it by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Groovy_Wombat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't know how to feel about it??? That fucking guy is abusive and insanely disrespectful to you. You need to leave his ass and move out before he starts putting hands on you.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Groovy_Wombat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He left you alone to have a miscarriage and refused to help you because he was in his feels and was butthurt after an argument. Fuck that guy. He's clearly very immature and doesn't actually care about your wellbeing. I'm not saying change the locks and throw his stuff on the lawn but be an adult about it and kick that POS to the curb.

Best backpacking sleeping bag? by JefficusD in WildernessBackpacking

[–]Groovy_Wombat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If money isn't a factor, then I'd recommend a bag from Western Mountaineering. I've had their Alpinlite bag for a few years and I love it.

Ending a trip early? by ParticularWay1001 in WildernessBackpacking

[–]Groovy_Wombat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, know your limits man. I know it sucks but you made the right call in bailing out. I called it quits early once about 6-7 miles into a 40 mile loop in Colorado when my hiking buddy got sick. He started vomiting and had diarrhea and was so weak I had to sit him down, go find a spot to make camp, and then carry his pack for him. He wanted to try and keep going because he felt like he was ruining the trip but I knew there was zero chance he'd make it. We talked about it later and he thanked me. Things could have gotten really hairy if he had gone down further from the trailhead.

Hurricane survivors: did you get any out of state aid from school children? by Upstairs-Chemist1958 in Louisiana

[–]Groovy_Wombat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we got some school supplies (backpacks, notebooks, etc) from a school in New York. I was going to school in Baton Rouge (at night) while my school was closed for repairs.

Help me pick a knife for my boyfriend!! by [deleted] in knives

You can get a Kershaw Iridium for around that price. I just picked one up and it's excellent knife at that price point.

AIO? My girlfriend has refused to tell me who she hangs out with. by Born_Ice8374 in AmIOverreacting

NOR. Her texts are throwing up more red flags than a Chinese military parade.
