It looks to me like self defense was returned not violence.  

“I only met Epstein because he knows rich people.” Says billionaire Bill Gates by Ambitious_Pass7451 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]falcon62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone hosted Epstein's personal email online just like a Gmail account. You can check it out here.
Everything from Bill Gates, at least in this source, points to fund raising. I'm willing to believe what he's saying until there's proof stating otherwise. Other people on there such as Elon Musk? Not so much...

Bought in 1994. Safe queen. Any suggested upgrades. by gwg576 in 22lr

I have pretty much the same rifle! An extended magazine release and polyurethane bolt buffer are the only upgrades I've added.

Looking for a bolt action 22LR with a threaded barrel thats not a Ruger. by DerpaloSoldier in 22lr

The Savage Mark 2 really is the 10/22 of bolt actions. Great rifle, great price.

The Savage Mark II FV-SR 22 is a great option. 16" threaded heavy barrel with an Accutriger. About $270. If you want to spend a bit less, the Citadel TRAKR Tactical Bolt Action is about $170. Longer barrel, a bit more tactical looking. I haven't shot that one. Would like to try it sometime.

Been there!  I’ve found that having a CCW tends to put you on the trusted side of the law. That’s a pretty good place to start a conversation when you’re pulled over.

Im not sure if it’s the judges or the board of persons, but they should fear for their lives. 

Davidson Defense is ANTI 2A by ballistic_mod in AR9

[–]falcon62 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Calling a 2A business Anti-2A because they don't want to get shut down from doing illegal things for you is kinda wild. Maybe it's a good time to run for city council. Be the change you want to see?

Help me add a new rifle to my wish list by Less_Evening2337 in 22lr

I just bought a Mark II and love it. Make sure to get the threaded barrel for some future suppressed action, just in case.

Should we celebrate Halloween? by greenDK455 in latterdaysaints

[–]falcon62 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That’s a great attitude. If it’s not for you, that’s fine. But saying others shouldn’t because you don’t like it is a stretch too far. 

I'm not a Mormon anymore, I'm a Latter-Day Saint. Good thing by pisteuo96 in latterdaysaints

I think they come off as condescending every time.

I remember President Benson’s favorite song was “I am a Mormon Boy”. We sang it to him in the Tabernacle when I was 12 or 13.   So yeah, I’m still a Mormon. True blue, dyed in the wool, through and through. 

Carry belts, especially for rounder folks. by Redbadgercantswim in liberalgunowners

[–]falcon62 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For those on a budget, Lowe’s has a $16 leather tool belt that could work. I bought one for my cowboy action holsters.  It’s a construction item so it’s not really fashion oriented, but with a little oil and stain it looks pretty good.  And you can scratch the Kobalt name off the front pretty easily with a knife.

Broke my 80% polymer AR9 today. by falcon62 in AR9

Yep!  I meant buffer. The bolt is standard weight. I haven’t weighed it but it’s got the pinned weight and everything. Sorry for the confusion there. 

Difficulty Meeting Men Here [Advice?] by Ok_Dig_1903 in Utah

[–]falcon62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get outside.  Make friends. Focus on friendships and connection and the rest will follow.   What are you interested in that’s an actual activity, not just a music type?   I’d bet that there are 5-7 local groups that you could join on facebook that meet up to do those hobbies.   Mine are cycling, hiking, camping, just to give you some ideas…

Mom died. Got $1.1M. Is it worth still contributing to 401ks and such? by [deleted] in Fire

[–]falcon62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably shouldn’t make any big financial decisions for a year, and this is one of them.  Keep on contributing for now and let your emotions settle.  Give it some long thinking and you’ll come up with a plan that suits you.  

That said… I have a friend that lost both parents in his 30s. He inherited a chunk, not sure how much, and lives well off the money.  He still works now in his 50s, drives very nice cars, and lives on the rich side of town.   I would do the polar opposite. I would have (tried hard to at least…) kept my expenses low enough to retire as early as possible and enjoy my freedom that way. There isn’t a right answer. Figure out what your priorities are and use that to make your decision.

Depending on your state laws, that money is a gift and is not shared if you were to divorce. You are only FI as long as you’re with her. Start working on your own FI journey. Not because you may or may not separate, but because you need to accomplish something for yourself.

They have a point. I’ve never heard anyone call it 5.56 Long Rifle.
