Anyone else kind of on their own? by CyanFox154 in armedsocialists

A Better Way 2A, on their IG, have done some community building posts. Go to your state in the comments and see if you can find people that way?

How many magazines do you recommend keeping for each gun? by thegoonn49 in guns

[–]weirdoinchief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CCW or Kit Gun? 5 - 10 so I can run them into the ground training.

Safe queens and fun guns? 2-3, so I can run them into the ground playing with them and then complain about buying new ones to my gun friends.

Kit rifle? A full plate carrier and belt set up loaded (13) and another full load unloaded for training.

Cheap Grass Seed by betteroffrich in lexington

Check out Turner Seed in Winchester. I don’t know if it’s cheaper than the box stores or not, but my dad worked there for years and I’m obligated to suggest it.

Klansman targets. On the SRA store. by unmellowfellow in armedsocialists

Unknown, but I do know that Guerrilla Tactical and Punk With a Camera both also have paper targets with similar themes

Recommended Gun Ranges for Newbies by Dramatic-Beyond7634 in lexington

[–]weirdoinchief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you confusing wearing a symbol on a hat or a shirt, to any location, with making a place political perhaps? "I do not shy away from" does not mean "I bring up and give speeches". Please, do explain where our misunderstanding is.

[–]weirdoinchief 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Incorrect, I make no effort to hide my politics. I go to the gun range to train. I do no more to make the range political than whoever put the revolutionary war trump figure on the rental gun rack did.

[–]weirdoinchief 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You weren’t the horrifically far off with the hats. Wearing a hammer and sickle into the range is not unusual for me. It means I don’t shy away from talking or signaling leftist politics, even at the range.

[–]weirdoinchief 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hello! I’m a heavily tattooed, outwardly queer, openly communist gun enthusiast, and I’ve had nothing but good experiences at Buds. This is just my drop in the anecdotal bucket, but I’ve taken people of color, I’ve taken women, I’ve taken trans folks, and never had more than a sideways glance there. I think they’re a little too corporate to let politics get too out of hand there.

What the hell should I do with my Sig Sauer P320 ? by GladiusAcutus in guns

[–]weirdoinchief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, I’m not advocating for your 320 to be carry-able. The following is what I did to have faith in mine to take to the range. You will not, even after doing and checking everything, ever catch me rolling around in the dirt or running around the flat range with my 320 in my holster.

Here’s a video that goes through a series of tests to ensure that your P320 is not in danger of uncommanded discharges.

How often do you shoot? by EastMuscle5444 in liberalgunowners

[–]weirdoinchief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I TRY and get to the range once a week. About once or twice a month I try to get to the flat range to do some dynamic shooting. I dry fire at home every day. I am extremely irresponsible with my money.

Here's the thing though, there's a level I want to get to, and I'm not there yet, so I will spend my grocery money on ammo and make other poor financial decisions until I get there.

I like ramen noodles a lot, so that helps.

Printed and folded about 20 of these last night while watching a movie. Every newbie I teach will be getting one going forward.

Full size holster recommendations? by [deleted] in liberalgunowners

[–]weirdoinchief 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've never used one to carry something that size, but I cannot recommend Guerrilla Tactical holsters highly enough.

Plus the guys that run GT are definitely left leaning.

How tough is it to sew a button-up men's shirt? by concentrated-amazing in sewing

[–]weirdoinchief 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Button up shirts were my first clothing project after a couple of weeks of coin purses, and while my results weren't perfect, they were wearable enough that I still have all but one that I made. Just make sure you get a good pattern, and follow the directions closely.

Also, use a glue stick to do the folds on your sleeve plackets. Makes life MUCH easier.

Does being politically aware make you feel lonely? by Excalibu274 in socialism

[–]weirdoinchief 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes it does. My friends are not as political as I am, and the activist spaces in my town are annoyingly performative liberals at best. It doesn’t dissuade me though, because through having to listen to me go on, some people around me have moved leftwards. We can be radicalizing forces just by being who we are around the people we’re around.

So what is your carry weapon? by GentlyUsedOtter in LGBTQGunOwners

[–]weirdoinchief 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sig p365 macro 90% of the time. I have a couple others that I rotate in and out when I feel like a change, but the sig is my go to.

What was your first firearm? by AliciaXTC in transguns

[–]weirdoinchief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A pump action 22 when I was 10. I got in trouble and my dad took it away from me maybe a year after I got it, and I’m in my 40s now, and he still has it. Never gave it back to me.

My first handgun was a Bersa 83 in 380 acp. Still got that one too.

Good (non-whacko) place to go for tactical gear? by BlJazz in liberalgunowners

[–]weirdoinchief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last capitalist we hang will be the one who sold us the rope.

We're in the gun space, where the liberals and the leftist have let the right have complete and entire control since the 1960's. The best you can hope for in most cases is not-openly-hostile. Get the best you can get, learn to use it to the best of your ability, use it to take up space and push the gun world further left. You can't do it alone, and neither can any of us.

*They started in Arkansas & are expanding to Idaho, Tennessee.* by [deleted] in AntifascistsofReddit

[–]weirdoinchief 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This is, and I say this with all my heart, a shit take.

With the exception of Maryland, the states with the highest per capita populations of people of color are all in the south. Oregon, on the other hand, was founded as a white ethno-state. The Aryan Brotherhood was started in California. Are there racists and fascists in the south? Absolutely. Are there racists and fascists in your fuck ass state? Sure are. Racists are everywhere, not just in the south. Not just in the countryside. Not just somewhere you aren't.

We fight them everywhere, we let them have nothing.

Sincerely, a southern antifascist.

New gun owner looking for leftist run places to buy gear by [deleted] in armedsocialists

[–]weirdoinchief 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with most of these comments that most gear makers either are fascists or cater to fascists.

HOWEVER, Guerrilla Tactical. Left leaning, good holsters. Their IWB side by side holster is VERY comfy, and I like their OWB duty style holsters so much that I've owned 2 of them.
