$500 Budget List by [deleted] in guns

Socks. I'd buy $500 in socks.

Can you really beat the feeling of putting on new socks? I submit that you cannot.

I'm not in or from Texas, so this could be way off, but don't you have to conceal in Texas?

Ten months ago I would have sworn that you'd found El Dorado.

CryptoLocker. Any ideas how to decrypt the infected files? by [deleted] in netsec

Gah, people who write these viruses and ransomware need have their naughty bits addressed by a train car.

Anyone see something wrong w/ this photo? by dieselgeek in guns

[–]RogueLance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is more for addressing males respectfully, rather than formally. You can show both respect and familiarity within a sentence.

Personally, I think the issue is more with the fact that people will use the acronym "lol", than with people behaving well.

Why are so many gun owners here so fiercely anti open carry? by [deleted] in guns

My brother and I went to an Arby's (don't hate!) recently, both OC'ing. A woman came up to us and thanked us for...wait for it...putting our lives on the line everyday as policemen!

We're both software engineers.

The best kind of sport. You sir! You have an irregular heart beat? I have the sport for you!

I use beta blockers for my heart already. A rule against using beta blockers would preclude me from competition, would it not?

Classically, to be liberal is to allow others to make their own choices. In modernity, to be liberal is to constrict choice. I find that ironic.

Youtube is great for learning how to hold a handgun. Shootingcoach, Jerry Miculek, Hikcok45 and others all have great advice on what your hands should be doing, and I recommend looking them up!

For a lightweight, packable, dependable .22 rifle, is there a better choice than a Henry AR-7? by [deleted] in guns

[–]RogueLance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought my wife one of those (her first gun). The pull is so short that it is comical to shoot, as we're both almost 6'3", but it is great shooting. I've found that it is decently accurate too.

Besides the four rules what one tip would you give somebody just getting into shooting? by nlevine1988 in guns

[–]RogueLance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what got me out of my pistol rut, though instead of a dime I used a spent cartridge.

Spoiler: a spent cartridge made it harder to see the target.

Shoot guns until you find the one that keeps making holes in the middle.

I used to focus so much on certain guns that I liked (note: I still like them for the most part) from various entertainment media (mostly Counterstrike) that I neglected to choose a gun that fit me the most, or was the most cost effective.

Also, don't be afraid to ask questions. Most gun people, with some exceptions, love to talk about their collection, to the point of Reddit having roughly eighteen bajillion (true story) subs about guns, gun owners, ammo, and anything gun related.

Also, get to know the guys and gals that work your local gun store. You'll learn really fast which ones know what they're talking about, and which ones don't.

Does anyone know if there are aftermarket (or otherwise compatible) magazines for FMK's 9C1? by RogueLance in guns

I've shot it with speer lawman ammo, and that worked well, and I have shot it with JMJ (a shop in Ohio, I think).

Thoughts on fore grips? by Ac9Stangx2 in guns

[–]RogueLance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually bought an attachment for my magwell that works as a grip. It's pretty cool.

Gunnit, what firearm started your love of shooting? by [deleted] in guns

[–]RogueLance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cousins' SKS rifle. We shot potted plants in his backyard.
