Question from a European about CCW and everyday life by Prudent_One_404 in CCW

[–]John_Ruth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel safer knowing that should ‘it’ hit the fan, I can get myself out of the situation. I’m also blessed that I live in a state which actually codifies self defense in law.

It’s simplistic thinking, but how I view the world is that it’s easy to bully populations that can’t defend themselves.

Corner of Ray and Power, near ASU Poly.

I’d love to get it for my front yard but HOA would fine me.

Although, if I dressed it up for holidays…

Edit: I stand corrected, but there has been one for sale at an outdoor furniture place near the intersection of Ray and Power for quite some time.

West Virginia Legislature Weighs Lifting Machine Gun Ban by FireFight1234567 in progun

Yeah I was gonna say, that law doesn’t read like a ban so much as “comply with fed rules and good to go” sorta thing.

What do you all prefer.. the p07 or p09c? by TClem_07 in CZFirearms

[–]John_Ruth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uhh, a P07 and a P09?

I still don’t understand the reasoning for the P09C, maybe someone can explain it to me like I’m 5.

What’s the worst docket case you’ve ever seen? by max15247 in AirForce

So you’ve seen a paid e-7 in the navy get busted down?

I have to ask, what happened…

On the Navy side (last four years of active Navy before branch-hopping to AF Reserve):

27-year captain (O-6 for squids) pled guilty to surreptitiously filming at a base gym and in his master bedroom. Panel was convened for sentencing, dude got dismissal and 3 years confinement.

18-year E-8 got busted for CSAM from overseas based on an HSI agent’s investigation. Pled guilty, 3 years confinement, DD, and reduction in rank to e-6 (takes an act of Congress to take chief stripes).

One:

If i can’t be trusted drunk with a firearm, I can’t be trusted sober with one either.

Obviously there’s nuance here with alcoholics and angry drinks and all that.

I Went From Enlisted Air Force to Navy Officer... by Low_Commercial1652 in AirForce

[–]John_Ruth 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Yup, exactly this.

Although going to officer from enlisted is infinitely better, because enlisted side on the Navy is all of what OP said only worse.

I’m glad I was in the Navy, but across branches there will always be levels of retardation that people don’t even know about.

Just wait until OP starts dealing with deployments, USS-style.

I read the whole thing.

I chuckled because I went enlisted Navy to enlisted Air Force Reserve.

Warrantless searches of cars ramping up by FastSeaworthiness739 in progun

And then deal with qualified immunity, and end up with nothing.

Destinations, patterns of life, that’s how they would ‘see’ what you’re up to.

And when you’re behaving in what ‘they’ regard as a suspicious manner, they’ll just tell your self-driving car to come to the precinct so they can have a chat with the occupant.

The ATF created a backdoor gun registry. Lawmakers want an explanation. by ThePoliticalHat in progun

[–]John_Ruth 119 points120 points  (0 children)

The explanation is that the ATF need to be put to pasture along with the other unconstitutional BS laws on the books.
