Stag mil-spec

Is aight

Or get a Ruger AR

can i put a gun related meme here? I just found

You could but it would be seen more in @military and firearm memes

Also why do people want mil spec rifles?

Mil spec is ok, but there's far better options in the civilian market

I am no expert, but I know that mil spec gives a standard to which something is built, esp. in terms of dimensions. This just ensures some degree of continuity across the platform, making it easier to find upgrade/replacement parts. e.g., mil-spec vs "civilian" buffer-tubes. neither is really better, but mil-spec buffers are a different size, and most AR- stocks are designed for the mil-spec size. Your 100% right that mil-spec standards could be way better, but they still are pretty good. And if you look around, you will likely find some manufacturers that claim "mil-spec or better." The idea, again, being that "mil-spec" is a minimum standard. Hope this helps

Interesting

likewise, many companies claim "built to mil-spec standards" but they are not necessarily mil-spec certified. This is again, just to maintain a level of continuity across the AR-platform, more than anything

I dont believe its so much of an issue now, but 10ish years ago, i remember it being important to look for that mil-spec thing, just because there was a lot of stuff that didnt work reliably too.

So military standard is basically "hey this rifle is made of decent materials and has the right dimensions!"

Whoo got a 100 on my ltc test

Noice

Nice. Still faster than I could probably do lol

I got a question, like just wondering. Sort of want your take on it.

Couldn't have said it better myself buddy. PoB

It seems as tho many gun owners "back the blue" and have complete support for police. Now, I think that's interesting because a lot of gun owners have this sense of security where if police aren't near or available that they will be able to take care of themselves and be alright, but at the same time, police will be called upon if governments implement new gun control measures, some things we are seeing in Virginia for example.

I don't know, I'm not bashing the job of police here, I just want to hear your thoughts.

Depends on the police department really

bingo.

I live in Wyoming and many of the police here are pro 2A

So they're probably going to not enforce that

If you belive in law and order you have to back the enforcers

But also keep in mind

I believe most police serve because they genuinely take an interest in defending and nurturing their community. I have met some real dicks who wear the badge, but most are good people who I can have a nice conversation with, even if I am potentially in trouble. additionally, it is not my job to uphold the law, nor am I equipped to serve justice to a criminal who wrongs me. I carry weapons so that I can defend myself when no one else can, but I will always make a point to get the proper authorities on scene. I remember a time when someone was trying to break into my home for several hours. My dad was on a business trip and I was only 14, suddenly put in a position where I knew that if whoever was trying to get in opened that door, I would have to step up and be a man with no means of defending myself or my family. Within minutes of hearing an intruder in our backyard, we had 911 on the phone. Shortly after, they started trying to jimmy the lock on our sun room door. After 10 minutes, they got into the sunroom. We had a wooden bar in the glass sliding door that sealed the sunroom off, but I knew they could break that or walk around to the laundry room door. We were on the phone with the operator for almost 2 1/2 hours and the police couldnt get to us because there was some big emergency elsewhere. Ever since, I have maintained that I will do my best to ensure I can handle a situation in the moment, but I will always call the police, if only to bring an ambulance for the intruder/aggressor.

thats my lengthy 2c :/

Sounds like you need a gun

needed*

<:thinking:726878987837636698>

but yes, i want mor guns

Ive never had that happen but ive also had acess to loaded rifles for that reason since always

People have broken into my vehicle once but have never tried to enter my home.

That's a really interesting perspective, and the saddest part about it is your probably right.
