This is no surprise at all..

Another story about a good guy with a gun stops killer:

Citizen Sets Up Scoped Rifle, Shoots Grandma Killer Terrorizing Arkansas Apartment Complex

Neighbor reportedly acted in accordance with Arkansas Stand Your Ground laws to neutralize the threat

Hopefully any liberal in that apartment, saved by the good guy's gun, will reevaluate their beliefs in banning guns.

Wishful thinking, I know.

Because it looks cool... ( actually more to it.. )

Before I lost my AK in the boating accident I had, I LOVED IT IMMENSELY! All those years we were told that the M16 was superior to the AK....pfffft! I'd take my AK over my AR (If I hadn't lost them in a boating accident) any day of the week. Besides, I can barely see accurately 500 yards any longer, much less hit something with irons sights

Having been on the same boat with @SJGUSMC21 during the tragic accident, I too lost a plain Jane WASR AK. Though unlike the Sarge, I had yet to become proficient with it.

I must say that my Sig 516 .556 was extremely reliable and due to the gas piston design, the bcg and internals stayed (relatively) clean even after a 1300 round 3 day carbine class.

Damn I miss those guns ...

 

[SJGUSMC21]

Hell yes, who DOESN'T like a gas piston system?! I just like my Ak's the way I like my women....cheap, dirty, and just keeps putting out!

A California lawmaker demonstrated why liberals are totally unqualified to opine on the 2nd Amendment, much craft legislation restricting citizens’ rights.


In a now-deleted tweet, California Assemblyman David Chiu dramatically posted: “Finding the discarded packaging of a semi-automatic on a leisurely weekend walk was disturbing, particularly during this month’s surge of gun violence in San Francisco.”

Except… if David had maybe looked at the packaging, he would have noticed it’s for a .177 caliber C02 powered BB gun.

Hasn't California had a spate of walkers killed by mountain lions recently? In which case, open or concealed carry in the wild (if permitted in Cali), might not seem such a bad idea. Bit like Alaska - very few people walk in the woods without at least a .357 magnum because of the bear problem.

Well, they used to. I have my dad's 22lr that was purchased from Sears in 1954, I have the box and the stamp from the post office. The postage was 78 cents.
You could also purchase ammo at about any gas station.
That same rifle, I used to take out into the stripper hills about 2 miles out of town, to shoot cans when I was a young teenager.
I carried that rifle on my back with a sling, riding my bicycle, through the middle of town multiple times, passing the fire and police station on the way.
Gasp, no one ever called the swat team on me, or batted an eye for that matter.

My first purchased gun was a lever action 30-30 from Sears. Them were the days.

 

[bigredfish]

Yep. Have Dads original 16 ga shotgun my grandfather bought him from Montgomery Ward ...

I tell my coworkers this and they are in shock!

I ran a trap line before school, so kept a rifle and pistol in the truck at school.
No one ever worried about guns back then, we had common sense.

The football field storage area was a metal building and got birds in it at times.
They would ask for volunteers to use a 22 rifle with rat shot to dispatch the birds.

That was a very different time, a very different reality.

Interestingly enough, this happened this week:

A SUSPECTED BIG cat was spotted by a woman near a train station.

Definately looks like a Puma to me when watched in 1080 and looked at up close. Note the long tail and very wide paws.

Rough day taking care of mom (let alone my day job).. but a fun moment when at her cardiologist. After seeing the pacemaker guy and nurse, wheel her into see him and the first thing he says is “like your hat” (US Palm - for those who don’t know of them, company that made quality AK mags and other “stuff”, went out of business and I think last year got bought up by another outfit). I smiled and said I had a “few” of their mags, he grins and says “yeah, me too. Quite a few”
