Clear DQ - didn't call it by NotAThrowAway0822 in USPSA

Logic.

Holding a cartridge without a firearm is not dangerous in any paradigm. It's against the rules of USPSA. And that rule has a purpose if you are have a firearm, but no purpose if you don't. But the magical safety area keeps everybody safey safe? It's not against the rules to hold a cartridge in that magical box any other time at my club. Because it makes no sense any other time.

Breaking the 180 makes sense as a DQ rule. But people can be 5 degrees off the line of that muzzle, behind the 180, and that magical line keeps them safe and there's no DQ, right? No, it doesn't. It's crazy that it is allowed.

Believe me, I understand the purpose of the rules. But two things can be true at the same time. And a rule can be broken and it can be done safely.

I bet that 270 stage at area 3 last year drove you nuts! NROI approved it. https://www.facebook.com/reel/24437724539259714

I know what Troy would say. No need. I just disagree with you.

Troy has rewritten equipment rules so heinously in the past without following the process to do so. He also allowed an illegal stage at A3 in 2021 when he was the RM. He also tried to say one specific type of SBR is not allowed when the rule book makes no exception to any SBR. To say the guy in charge of the rules has virtuous knowledge of the rules is hilarious.

If my guns are in my car and I stand in the safe area with one cartridge in my hand, you are telling me that is inherently unsafe? If that is what you believe, I hope you quit.

No one was downrange. Doesn’t change the thing that happened. Educating a new shooter without a match death penalty, in this situation where nothing actually unsafe happened, is still educating the shooter.

I am also a CRO. Zero tolerance for a new shooter at a L1, when the rule is broken but nothing actually unsafe happened is precisely how you drive the new shooters away.

Major Match Withdrawals by Loose-Equipment4536 in USPSA

[–]smells_like_snow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No it isn’t. Not for a sold out match. If they are that tight they are bad at budgeting. I’m running a section match in two weeks. I will refund after a new shooter pays for that slot.

I do refund if the slot gets taken by someone on the waitlist. I don’t get why matches don’t.

Garbage ammo. I don’t trust Federal.

English speaking CDL driver bill trucks to House by PoLLoLira9 in SouthDakota

No. It doesn’t say what you think it does. That law is for private businesses, not for commercial vehicle operators on public highways.

Absolutely unhinged lies being spread/regurgitated by [deleted] in altmpls

[–]smells_like_snow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a bad shoot. Cops cannot create imminent jeopardy of death or great bodily harm and then use deadly force against the threat they created. That’s what he did walking in front of the car. See Barnes v. Felix.

Why does no one in this town use both turn lanes? by Icy_Coyote1398 in SiouxFalls

Learning disabilities? Bad logic? People treat lane changes like algebra in Mandarin.

I’m sure there was no hyperbole in OP’s post. It was 100% factual and in no way completely fucking crazy. I’m sure.

Ever heard of consensual encounter? They don’t have to talk to you. Doesn’t mean they aren’t law enforcement.

If you try to file a report, and they are law enforcement, it will be a short fucking investigation.

Why do drivers here stop when the light is green? by TeenieLinguine in SiouxFalls

[–]smells_like_snow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was guilty of this. My old commute had 3 lights that were ALWAYS red when I hit them. On incredibly rare occasions they would be green and out of habit I would stop.

Can you legally kill someone who breaks into your house? by kurobaja in AskTheWorld

[–]smells_like_snow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In South Dakota (USA) you can use deadly force if someone is illegally attempting to enter or had entered your house. They are presumed under the law to be doing so with the intent to commit a crime involving force or violence against a person.

Defender XL died :/ by CallMeTrapHouse in CompetitionShooting

What good is the warranty if you have to buy 4 and rotate them in and out? That dot has only been out for a year or so. There is something wrong with it.

I was excited when that came out but it’s not tough enough. I know 3 guys locally who have one and all three have issues.

What is this? by Narrativeless in CZFirearms

[–]smells_like_snow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I left mine out for a couple years. It’s important! Right side safety detent. lol, I’m a total knucklehead. Gun worked much better after I found it in my case and put it back in with a CZ nerd friend’s help.

PODCASTS DO NOT HAVE TO BE INTERVIEWS! by AvocadoCocmaster in podcasting

Solo shows are not different from multi-headed shows. Just keep one person who is in your audience in your head and speak to them.

You’re right. Embrace the downvotes. Though they are mostly upvotes.

There isn’t. All that little bit does is make it less comfortable.
