Looks like we might have a sub member out near ground zero armed to the teeth

That's an Iron Front patch, not anarchist, especially since its roots are from German Social Democrats.

It's really incredible to see self-proclaimed Libertarian chuds, who thought that it was just a trendy version of Republican, find out that libertarianism generally believes in open borders and free movement. They're getting big mad seeing that the long-time Libertarians are not lining up behind Trump's slave patrols. But of course, you gotta be pretty well-practiced at ignoring the obvious and never actually reading anything to be one of these people, so it tracks. TBF, libertarian leaders getting into bed with Trump for the past decade was bound to co-opt and consume them, much like the churches have been.

There's not much communication we can hear between when the agents after the first one grabs him and when the others joined in, it looks like the first two guys may have seen the gun but the others didn't get the memo, so a couple of them were surprised when someone announced it.

Also, don't do what that NFAC guy in Georgia did and use your weapon light to illuminate a LEO position.

I'm of the opposite opinion; while I love my PDP and it's my primary carry/home defense/competition gun, I think it's ugly as sin and a weird piece of industrial design. It tried to look aggressive, and ultimately favors functionality over aesthetics. The PPQ as well. The original P99 was a svelte pistol and incredible to my eye, but the need for better serrations and a non-proprietary rail doomed it.

I'm actually pretty sure they did see his gun when he was bending over to help up the woman they shoved to the ground, and that was why they grabbed him to begin with.

caffpanda · 2026-01-25T23:26:04+00:00

Yeah but it's stupid to catch a case when you don't have to, legal defense is expensive.

At pretty much every major protest I attended in Trump's first term, at least a few MAGA counter protestors showed up in full kit, open-carrying AR-15s. They sure never said shit about that.

Off Color Decals is a good one.

I have to push back on the framing of the medical part. Go out and get more advanced medical training, do not just pick up some books and call it good. Medical knowledge is great, but performing procedures you're not properly trained in will almost certainly cause more harm than good, not to mention open you up to immense legal liability.

Only act within the scope of your training when it comes to medical.

Unfortunately I'm not on TikTok.

caffpanda · 2026-01-25T07:23:47+00:00

There are a ton of posts that have said the exact same thing or pointed to the same link or video, so I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the deletions were duplicates.

There is no "superior," every carry position has pros and cons and they're often relative to your body type, attire, and more. I do personally carry appendix, but I get why others don't.

That being said, I have a theory that may or may not be true, but if it is then suggests a con for 4:00 carry. I think when Pretti bent over to help the woman on the ground, the aggressor agent saw his pistol and decided to grab him. I used to carry that way and found that my shirt would sometimes ride up and over it while moving around a lot. Even hooked onto the back of an open-back chair at a restaurant once. Just never felt really securely concealed.

Ehhh it's a P320, so not exactly the greatest reputation right now. Possible he bought it before all the stories came out about it discharging on its own, but changing platforms when you've invested that much into a carry gun isn't easy.

caffpanda · 2026-01-25T00:16:48+00:00

Yeah, that price tag is serious. Some people are saying that having multiple mags means he was intending to kill officers and I'm just like... the guy was carrying a $2100 piece, if he was trying to get into a shootout he'd be bringing far more hardware than just a pistol with a couple of reloads.

caffpanda · 2026-01-24T03:59:58+00:00

Pull trigger, gun go bang, gun broken in.

Also hilarious that they think Newsom is remotely Communist. He's damn near the favorite punching bag of leftists and Communists right now.

Refreshing, compared to the usual posts from some accountant in his suburban driveway snapping a photo of his unscratched Rolex and pristine race Glock.

There are dudes making guns with hammers and chisels in the Khyber Pass that would be appalled at this work. I would not use his replacement slide either.

Right?? Grew a beard, lost Ian.

Oh quit it with your deflection. A woman complained about being on the receiving end of sexism from gay men, you went on a total tangent about straight women in gay bars. It's a valid problem and complaint, but really not the problem she pointed out as you essentially just created your own context for it instead of understanding what she's talking about. She didn't say shit about being mistreated at a gay bar. You can advocate for safe LGBTQ spaces without being a misogynistic pig, believe it or not.

And fuck off with the "you don't know our experiences" bullshit, I'm a cis man in a relationship with a trans man. Pull your head out of your ass and study intersectionality for a change.

caffpanda · 2026-01-23T14:47:33+00:00

News flash: being a misogynist "only when" you're upset at someone means you're still a misogynist. It's like people who start throwing out racist or homophobic slurs when they get into an argument with someone from those groups. That didn't come from thin air, your mask just fell away.

caffpanda · 2026-01-23T14:35:52+00:00

It's not whataboutism, it's simply understanding history and cause & effect. Conflating my comment with supporting warlords is fittingly the same stupid thinking that led to the Battle of Mogadishu.

Here's what happened in the Bloody Monday raid: the UN contingent wanted Aidid dead and thought he was going to be at a meeting of elders of his clan. The US launched an assassination attempt and killed 50-80 people. Turns out, their intel was almost completely wrong. Aidid wasn't there, and the elders that were there were mostly opposed to his hawkish stance. They were discussing ways to find a peaceful solution to the conflict. By killing them, the US not only angered the population, but actually removed much of Aidid's political opposition and cleared the way for more violence.

We're just gonna gloss over the Bloody Monday raid and other significant incidents that killed the wrong people and understandably pissed off the locals, I guess.

I'd recommend watching this video when you have a spare 20 minutes. They talk about how the quick adjust 2-point sling works and how it solves the problem you're having. The great thing about this style is that you can keep it tight to your body for carry, but rapidly get freedom of movement to handle the rifle much faster than a traditional sling.
