    Non lethal self defense

    Wow. An automatic shotgun for defense? Are you expect a visit from a cartel? :yikes:

    Non lethal self defense

    I refuted all but one of your points, but that is irrelevant. You miss my meaning. You are playing a theoretical game. I am telling you that I have, in real life, used it, in that environment. Your opinion is nice, and I am glad you have one. It makes you a unique snowflake. It doesn't make you...

    iPhone 6 or 6 plus?

    I had to watch one of the videos that the verge posted to see it.

    iPhone 6 or 6 plus?

    I am getting a 6 plus, for the added split screen abilities. I am excited to see what fore flight and flyq do with the space.

    You are forgetting that close quarters fighting doesn't work that way. Room clearing means that you are not firing at many targets. You are firing at few to none. The recoil is not really relevant, since you are only engaging one or two targets. This is inaccurate. 00 buck is 7 pellets...

    Nice! I do not believe that the Mossberg 500 does that. What kind do you have?

    Also very good for room clearing, but yes, a shotgun is also very good at opening a door. You are, I feel, minimizing the need to actually clear buildings. That shotgun was far, far more effective for room clearing than my 249. Don't get me wrong, I ****ing LOVED my 249, but it was a touch heavy...

    They are a standard armament. They are not the primary weapon of an infantry unit, but they are certainly standard. We did one shotgun, one SAW, one M-4 or M-16, and one 203 per fireteam. I also usually carried an M9, since I was usually the SAW gunner.

    That is not a 590. It's a 500. Really, really similar weapons, so please don't think I am being a pedantic prick, but I was in Iraq in 05. We had 500s. The difference is in the length of the magazine and bayonet lug on the 590. Super effective tool. Because it can be used for so much, I almost...

    Who else hates reading on eDevices?

    I prefer reading on paper if the book is large. Paperbacks are annoying to hold open. But ultimately, I love reading because I love reading, and I am going to consume literature however I can. Since it is easiest to get books on my kindle, and in the Kindle app on my iPad and phone, I buy about...

    Seeking flight friends

    Aunt Peggy has a point. The USA is not just large, it is unfathomably huge. I've driven from the north east corner to the south west corner four times, and can say from experience, it takes days. It is 3,300 miles from my current home to my last. It took me 52 hours of driving. India (I'm sorry...

    You are in Keene? Did you head to the Sonex meetup this past weekend? Also, I looked at your webpage. It says you are incorporated in Kansas? What brings you up north?

    Avoiding Amazon's Slow Boat From China

    I make a point to only buy prime eligible items from amazon, with the exception of watch bands, and who cares how long they take to arrive? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hi narchee, it is. Sort of. I won it a few weeks ago in a drawing at vmworld, but took the cash, and am using the money to fund my pilots license. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I actually grew up on a horse farm in the Northeast Kingdom. We call it "the NEK". It is beautiful, but very economically depressed. It's not so much that we are hiding the poverty, but rather that we haven't built many roads to the area, which, come to think of it, may be contributing to the...
