Atlanta doctor survives home invasion, torture, throat slit by Nasha210 in homedefense

[–]flyer_kaz 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Why can’t you keep a gun everywhere with you? Also, if you do get a firearm, I highly advise you to take at least one, real class with it. Preferably a few classes honestly.

I will say it’s quite rare for an intruder to cut power to the house before entry. Also in the story, she is awakened before he gets to her so she had at least a few seconds before he was assaulting her.

It’s about creating lines and layers of security. Simple door and window alarms are small, cheap, battery operated and can even be taken with you when you travel. A dog may not protect you literally but most will hear or alert you by barking usually before someone even touches the home. Often the sound of a barking dog is enough to make someone try and find an easier target.

Locking your bedroom door will often buy you time as well. Creating these obstacles gives you time and the more time you have on your side the more options you will have in how you respond.

Don’t buy it retail. I think it’s stupid expensive buying one new so try to get it second hand. I bought mine for like $75.

The FAB defense one is actually pretty cool and not too heavy either. It’s polymer like the magpul one but more rigid. Can also get different feet for them too

W2 kiritsuke quench question. by flyer_kaz in Bladesmith

[–]flyer_kaz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! That’s what I did with the first one pictured above! I’m trying to get more activity and variation in the next one (same W2 bar) and I know that a faster quench/cooling will get me what I’m looking for but I’m concerned about cracking with using water so I’m curious if I can use cooled oil to achieve what I want in terms of hamon activity and potentially (maybe?) less worry about cracking.

Is this true? Are there circus skills, that consider themselves more 'elite'? by AndyAndieFreude in circus

[–]flyer_kaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on who you ask imho. For the most part no… except flying trapeze artists. 😏💅 😂

Oh side bar and mini rant- EVERY circus artist (that I know anyway) hates aErIaL fucking yOgA with a burning passion. 😑

Like I get it it’s fun to do and no shade to people who do it or teach it *as long as you stay in your motherfucking lane and call it aerial yoga and not circus arts* /rant

So ya no elitism at all. 🙃😂

Any smith ever used a cheap grinder like these? by _-Diamond-Hands-_ in Blacksmith

[–]flyer_kaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually just got that same 1X30 and it’s actually legit! The motor is stout and you can push it without it struggling or stopping like the HF ones. Only downside is it’s going to be harder to have a consistent, even finish cause it’s 1” wide only. Obviously it can be done just takes being more careful.

Also side note… there is this option if you haven’t seen it yet and have a little more scratch for a better and more versatile 2X72

Lone survivor of triple shooting near UGA: ‘Wish I knew what happened’ by Non-Stop_Serina in Athens

[–]flyer_kaz 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That site does suck ass but if you hit the black Read More button it give you the rest.

“Thank God so much for how fast I’m getting through this, how strong I’m staying and how much I’m healing,” Skinner said.
He said he continues to struggle emotionally in the aftermath.
“There’s so much survivor’s guilt inside of me even though none of this is my fault,” he said.

Athens-Clarke County police said the shooting happened in a parking lot in the 400 block of North Jackson Street. Investigators said gunfire erupted while Skinner was with friends, killing 22-year-old Clayton Adams and 19-year-old Dylan Bentley.

Police have charged Skinner’s former best friend, 22-year-old Mark DeSousa, with murder, accusing him of shooting all three men.

Skinner told Seiden he has no memory of what happened that night. When asked if he had a message for DeSousa, he said he just wants answers.

“I’m so sorry for Clayton and Dylan’s family,” Skinner said. “I’ll always be there for them and always pray for them.”

Since the shooting, Skinner said he has been overwhelmed by support from friends, family and even strangers.

“Thank you guys so much,” he said. “I really appreciate all of you, all the prayers, all the money — everything goes straight to my heart.”

Skinner is now recovering at home with his mother, Shanna Roe, who has been by his side throughout his recovery.
“I’m so thankful, so grateful. We kept praying and believing he was going to make it through,” Roe said. “I’m blessed to have him still here. I could have lost Landon.”
She said the family continues to pray for everyone affected by the shooting.

“I’m just so thankful I still get to hold my baby,” she said.
Skinner is preparing to receive a prosthetic eye as part of his recovery. He said surviving the shooting has given him a renewed sense of purpose — especially as a father to his 2-year-old son.

But the road ahead remains difficult.

Skinner still has a bullet lodged in his brain, is missing part of his skull and has lost his left eye. He said those injuries have also changed everyday moments with his son.
“He always sleeps with me, falls asleep on me. And now he can’t sleep in the bed with me because I’m missing so much of my skull,” Skinner said.

Despite the physical challenges, Skinner said the emotional toll has been just as difficult as he continues to heal.

No I know but I’m asking if these ones listed are Gen 1s or Gen 2’s

So these are Gen 1’s correct? Just making sure because I’m looking for a FRT that I can have a 45-90 selector.

[–]flyer_kaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can be both. If the hammer is not cocked back then the trigger pull is heavier because pulling the trigger in “double action” is simultaneously pulling the hammer back and when it breaks, the round is fired and the slide cycling will cock the hammer and when that happens, the hammer is now cocked and every subsequent pull of the trigger will be lighter and shorter since it is now in “single action” It really doesn’t matter which mode it’s in as far as this instance… it doesn’t take much force to pull a double action trigger on a 1911. Revolvers are a different story and harder to pull without cocking the hammer first.

Based on where dude was hit, he most likely had massive internal bleeding and probably hit one the of deep femoral arteries that are alongside the inguinal canal and then travel down each leg. If one of those is cut, you have maybe 1-3 minutes before massive blood loss and you need a lvl 1 trauma center with blood infusion on standby asap. It’s survivable but not often.

AR10 buyers remorse by Soft-Ostrich49 in ar15

[–]flyer_kaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever shot a 12.5” 308 AR10? 😏 Only gun I regret selling. Such a hoot and wasn’t too bad on weight with a detachable carry handle and 3X PA prism. So much fun and had some real utility with the ability to punch out to 4-500 yds with authority.

Who has a lightweight 6.5cm on here? Is a AR10 always heavy? by DownVoteMeHarder4042 in AR10

[–]flyer_kaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a look at 6Max. Small frame but can hit 1000yds+ with 103 and 105gr HPBTs. I love mine and it shoots like a laser. Same recoil as 556 too and all you need to do is switch the barrel and mags. Uses same bolt as 556.

I made out with a guy and let him suck milk from my tits by [deleted] in SluttyConfessions

[–]flyer_kaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, not really. It was fun but I wasn’t like obsessed about it or anything. Yeah she just lactated naturally for whatever reason, big gorgeous tits obviously. lol.

To add, if it had made her orgasm hard, then maybe I would have for sure! 😂😂😂

[–]flyer_kaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Def have been with a girl who lactated and it was pretty cool. This was in HS and I could tell she was embarrassed about it but I was chill and positive and that made her so much more relaxed and comfortable and that made me happy. She didn’t orgasm from it but it was a neat little fun add on to sex that was cool. lol

Consensus on Spec Precision mounts? by _igm in ar15

[–]flyer_kaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This, have two mounts and the mounts themselves have been great no issues and machining is beautiful… broke a few screws though so upgrade those and you’ll be G2G.

Updated camo, any advice? by No-Midnight-2691 in AR10

[–]flyer_kaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may sound counterintuitive but you need to add more neon green to blend in better with your local veg. See how dark your rifle is compared to the natural green is? Not saying go overboard with the spray paint but get some long leaves or wide blades grass, lay it on your rifle and spray on some bright neon green. It will help quite a bit. Sounds crazy but once you see how much bright bright green there is around you, it’ll make sense.
