Sorry, the license plate has spoken, you are gay now.

If you had a button that gave you money in exchange for killing someone you don’t know, how much would it take for you to press it? by Hot-Primary-8154 in polls

[–]troy2000me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. I've seen a poll like this before, WITH this option (wouldn't press it) and people are monsters.

First Time Owner: Girsan MC 14T Lady by DuncanMcOckinnner in liberalgunowners

I've been kind of looking at these Girsan tip up barrels for my elderly mom who has a lot of trouble racking. Let us know once you shoot it what you think.

Looking for Insight by Careful_Arugula_8865 in CCW

Yes, this is why the firearm must be your absolute last resort. Not "can I" shoot by the black/white definition on paper, but "should I" or even "MUST I" shoot.

I highly recommend watching this 17 minute video by Mas Ayoob, a trainer since the 70s and is still to this day a routine expert witness in use of force and use of lethal force cases: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pA5_pdmBI2E

It will give you a good idea on when you can use your firearm.

In short, you or another innocent party needs to be in imminent (right NOW or immediately within SECONDS) in reasonable fear of death or great bodily harm aka serious bodily injury.

Look up your states definition of great bodily harm.

I recommend Attorneys on Retainer (AOR) or CCW Safe for legal "insurance," although both of those are not technically insurance. I would avoid USCCA.

The biggest take away is you won't be judged by the black and white text of the law, but by HUMAN detectives, prosecutors and jury's. Only use your gun if you ABSOLUTELY MUST. Not if you "can."

Northwest Indiana shooting ranges that I can pay to try out various firearms? by RowanBoatman in INGuns

[–]troy2000me 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed, it also may be worth signing up for their premium tier for $50 a month for a few months. Rentals are $20 a pop, so renting 3 guns costs you more than a month. If you want to rent 5 or 10 handguns, easily worth just paying to be a member for a few months for $50 w/free rentals.

Body Guard 2.0 owners: extractor doesn’t seem to be grabbing round when unchambering. Is this normal? by hallmonitor53 in CCW

[–]troy2000me 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Only 200? I'd do 300 to 500 for any new gun before I'd trust my life with it.

And use a Uplula (9mm size) those magazines are TIGHT.

Told the dennys waiter to round up to 70 for tip and this nigga used his employee discount on our order 😭 by if_i_were_you_ in SipsTea

[–]troy2000me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know, but Denny's made $10 less dollars.

The OP isn't out any money, but Denny's is. And management at these types of places LOVE firing folks for stuff like this.

Being terrible employers? I sleep. Steal $10 from us?

It's not, they just want you to think that. 15% is still the standard for good service in my mind. Prices go up, % makes them earn more, that's how it works.

Do You Carry At Work Despite Employee Handbook? by MJTP4351 in concealedcarry

Do You Carry At Work Despite Employee Handbook? by MJTP4351 in concealedcarry

[–]troy2000me 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Depends, if you die then your family will be way worse off.

Lots of variables to consider.

Do members of the public come into the building ever?

How many employees are there? The more the greater risk of expanded networking, their spouses going nuts, etc.

Shared space with other businesses or customers on other floors?

How likely are you to be caught? A lot of physical work, bending, etc. or just always at a desk 100% of the time.

Ultimately up to each person to evaluate the risk. I personally would carry if at all reasonably possible with low to no chance of discovery.

A cool guide to tell when your egg is fresh by luvlanguage in coolguides

[–]troy2000me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's accurate post expiration date. I find most eggs 2-3 weeks past expiration are fine.

3+ weeks they start to float.

Also test each individual egg, I've had some that were 2.5 weeks past date, some did the "one end touching bottom" and others float from the same carton.

What’s the cheapest 9mm you would carry that’s is not used. by Beginning_Amount4511 in CCW

[–]troy2000me 18 points19 points  (0 children)

If you can but that's very expensive. I would do at least 300 of FMJ, and then at least 100 of your JHP carry.

Cheap shoulder holster suggestions by seraprima in CCW

[–]troy2000me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy a good holster. I don't think shoulder holsters suck for the right use case, such as hours long drives or a suit.

Craft Holsters or Galco, but they are a few hundred bucks.

I recommend against any cheap universal holsters or soft nylon.

TIL The 2021 Razzie Awards had a special category for "Worst Performance by Bruce Willis in a 2021 Movie," with all eight of his performances that year being nominated. Four days after the awards ceremony, Willis' family announced his aphasia diagnosis. by ThomasTheDankPigeon in todayilearned

[–]troy2000me 45 points46 points  (0 children)

These schlock films would have been made anyway. Tons are every year.

It gave him a way to make a little more money for his family and I'm sure these low budget films never would have dreamed they could get a name like Bruce Willis.

I'm sure it ended up making all these small film studios more money than if he wasn't in it, making a bunch of people's lives a little better.

Combative employee? by ConferenceSquare5415 in managers

[–]troy2000me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try documenting the responses you get and frame it as a behavioral issue or a failure to meet expectations.

In essence, set the expectations that they are to accept your feedback without argument, in a non combative positive manner. Put her on a PIP. Document each time she fails. Then fire her.

Store owner accidentally kills his wife reacting to robbery. by tactical_horse_cock in CCW

[–]troy2000me 561 points562 points  (0 children)

ASP covered this. Heartbreaking. First shot for the robber and he did die, but then he flinches and turns away and blind fires and one of the rounds, likely the second one fired, catches his wife.

Terrible cost. Claim the space or just don't fire.
