My co worker helping me out though said he really recommends them. I do not have much experience with handguns.

At least enough for my own input.

Our great state has decided that I'm too young for a hand gun

I had a friend in high school turn 18, go to the gun store and get denied a handgun, so he said "fuck it" and bought an AK

our great state has also decided that I'm too young for a self loading rifle

So I've decided to get a musket and experiment with 'special' ammunition

On the bright side, I can also use it for civil war reenacting

I haven't seen one of those

If I have, I'd like to see the battle of 1st Minnesota in Gettysburg, just because I'm a Minnesotan and they kicked ass.

I see. there's supposed to be an event out in Cheney on memorial day weekend

It's still up in the air whether it will be open to the public or not

I don't think there'll be any major gatherings for the next 18 months

Just wait for the next PATRIOT act

I feel you

but I'm getting real tired of not working

And I'm getting real tired of all the adds with rich people telling us poors to stay inside and not make money for food and necessities

I'm still working because I'm essential

I'd be making $200 more to stay at home unemployed

what up. north west washington

Apologies, I'm jumping around doing multiple things at once, yes, Black Horse Militia will take newcomers with very little experience. We have experienced people, myself included that can train you on all sorts of methods that are useful to the minuteman, what we are looking for is a true desire to participate in something bigger than yourself. Not only to learn, but to become a pillar of your community.

what's your values?

as an organization, that is

so our only overarching theme is constitutionalism

beyond that

we don't care

no religion, no social ideologies, no politics are forced on anyone

I like constitutionalism

as individuals we all have our own values, but that which binds us right now is constitutionalism

Our CO is Rozzville Grace, a DJ who used to be big in the rap and hip hop game throughout the pacific northwest and southern BC Canada. He's a good dude. I'm the Council Rep for Kitsap, and each of the counties that have enough people have a Council Representative.

interesting

For my county, we meet publicly once a month and try to train anywhere from once to twice a month privately and take on other classes as they come up for first aid, survival, prepping, even cooking, just whatever useful comes up we put it out and some of us will go to it

Imagine if you will, society resets, and many people might be left without the usual convenience they are accustomed to, would knowing something like how to cut hair with sheers and a razor be a useful thing? Sure as fuck would, personal hygiene in those situations is far more important than in times like now where we can bathe in sanitizer

So don't overthink simple skills that you bring to the table

Everyone has something, even the urge to learn, it is how we apply that which makes it useful.

Sorry if I'm taking a while to respond, I'm trying to balance this with pysics work

no worries, I'm jumping through multiple chats and playing a game at the same time, because Murica

Indeed

Reckon I'll look into the group when I'm not as busy, and by that I mean probably when this semester finishes in a week.
