As I have said before, for me, we are talking practice at the intensity of 1000 rds of pistol a month and 400 rounds of rifle, at least. Right now, I go to the range weekly but I want to up that to 2, 3 times a week once my schedule changes.

Is it not reasonable that if a person has to shoot, they should have practiced to be as perfect as they can be? No misses.

So don't limit the ammo in any way.

You have become lost in the forest while hunting, you have fallen, and you have broken an arm. With one hand, you might find it very hard to load your rifle or even another magazine.

The rifle distress signal is 3 rounds fired, one minute apart.

How many series of distress signals would you like to fire off?

It's more then just the switch, i'm sure you know that though. As far as the 30 round thing, to each their own. When i'm at the range with mine i have a 5 round mag.

ONE example, I read it somewhere one of the reasons is that AR-15s are a great choice for small women that still want to hunt, but would like to avoid some nasty scope bite.

Who am I to tell people what they NEED or don't NEED. There are differences between needs and wants. If they passed all the requirements, they should be able to get whatever they want.

Currently, I only own couple of revolvers. I feel if I want to own ar15, i should be allowed to. I passed the background check, and I am a legal gun owner who is also responsible. If I need to pass more tests, that is fine by me. I don't think taking away CERTAIN guys is the answer.

my point was retired military don't have Carte Blanche to carry a handgun because they served in the military, neither do retired cops, under LEOSA you have to quailify with a weapon on an approved course annually in order to carry

Hogg and his ignorant 17 and 18 year old friends are clueless and are becoming America's top gun salesmen. I've made several calls to local gunstores and ARs are once again quadrupling in sales in some of the stores.



Example in CT. Back around 2014 the state wanted all "assault weapons" registered and all high cap. Mags. Declared
Of the estimated 370,000 rifles only 50,000 were brought for registration. That's 13% compliance. Of the estimated 1 million High cap. Mags. Only 40,000 were declared. That's 4% compliance. And this is in Libby CT.

Anti-gunners efforts are futile.
A "real man" doesn't need a gun to prove it.

You are correct, my wife carries daily and isn't trying to prove she's a man.

She's just a 105lb woman, that embraces her 2A rights to protect herself, not trying to prove anything.
