Eh, bullets ricochet too. However that is why I use a shotgun, easier to not miss, and added bonus, you get to see their face(s).

Planned on going to the range next week to sight in my hunting rifles. Was going to bring some others to play around with, but I'm kinda wanting to hold on the ammo that I have.

You can find ammo, just have to look

I'm wondering what is the minimum needed for a decent sight in.

Maybe 6?

Do it efficiently. Have you done it before? There are youtube videos about this. That is the one thing that a shooting vice is good for. You can get a rifle close in 2 shots, if it has a scope or good sights.

I also stocked up on alcohol to use for barter and trading once the libs begin their hostile takeover.

Depends on how good you setup the scope prior, and how good you are shooting that rifle.

Can be done in 6

Yes I have. But I don't have a vice.

Usually use a couple to get on paper up close. Then fine tune that at 100 yrds with at least 3.

Then 200 with 3 more.

shite’s overpriced right now, but I stocked up anyway. 1500 rds of 9mm FMJ and two cases of 12 gauge bird shot. Plenty of ammo for my wife’s 22LR Colt for target practice so we’ll be ready.

That's about what I would think, if you use a vice. 3 rounds at 25 yards to get sighted in right. Then 3 rounds at 100 yards to check it out. I don't know how well you shoot though, you may only need 4.

I just bought a new gun safe yesterday because theft/break ins is increasingly drastically in my area.

Guns, cash, and jewelry are now safe in my home

’ll just go ahead and say it: If Trump wins the election, there is going to be some sort of civilian urban warfare beyond what we’re seeing now. I’m talking about civilians fighting back rather than just sitting back and taking it.

Nah when Trump wins we’ll see that many more people that have had enough of this crap . Then DC can tell PC culture to pluck off

Now honestly, how many southerners or country folk around the nation do NOT know how to use a gun? My favorite is a shot gun, just point the right way and BOOM


You would be surprised. Far too many suffer from Dunning–Kruger complications. From working a various ranges I’ve seen guys that zero a rifle or hit a 12” stationary target at 25 feet with a pistol. Add in stress and I doubt they could point down and miss earth.

I just had a storm shelter/safe room installed under our staircase last weekend. Most of my collection will get locked up in there.

You ain't stocked up. That hand gun is just good enough to shoot your way to a real rifle.
