Hunting / Re: Some Dumb Hunting Questions
« on: September 14, 2021, 07:48:13 PM »
1. How do dogs tolerate loud gunfire, while humans need to wear ear protection?
The times ive gone hunting and my friends brought their dogs, the dogs were used to push and were far away from the shooters so the sound didnt bother them.  The times when the dogs were hanging around us as we shot at deer, they were smart enough to move away from us, probably learned over time.  I probably should, but Ive never worn ear pro while hunting and the only time my ears have rung was when someone else let off their rifle too close to me or if someone was using a muzzle brake.

2. Lifting, dressing and carrying a dead carcass can strain the back. In fact, back spasms are a common result of anything strenuous, or using motion that you ordinarily would not employ in daily life. Bringing a heat pad into the woods seems to be impractical. The course never discusses this type of injury.
Never thought about this.  I guess the key is to know your limits and dont try and push yourself too far past them.  If youre tired, rest, no shame in taking 5 vs trying to man it and ending up hurt.  That being said, I exercise regularly and when I know I have a hunting trip coming up I do extra leg and back workouts.

3. Who carries an emergency locator beacon, and do you need one in HI?
I havent felt the need for a emergency beacon, but I do have an oh shit kit with some survival stuff in it (flashlight, signal mirror, whistle, etc).  Like someone else mentioned, tell people where you are going and when you are expected back.

4. Is there a one weapon limit on state/federal hunting grounds? Wouldn't a compound bow put you at risk of being overrun by a wild boar? This video raises a lot of questions about boar hunting. Long arms are used, with bad muzzle control very apparent at certain times.
Havent gotten into bow hunting yet, so arent familiar with those rules, sorry.

Hope I helped a little

when I used to work at the airport over 10 yrs ago, there used to be tons of micros flying to the mainland almost daily.  Continental flight to either Little Rock or Dallas/Fort Worth if I remember correctly, one of those two.  Anyways, I wonder if they are as much of a problem on the mainland as they are down here.  We certainly dont hear about it

apple doesnt fall far from the tree. i believe the older brother they interviewed got arrested for doing the same thing at ala moana beach park a year or two ago.  And the one that just died just got out of juvi for ramming police cars in another stolen car in chinatown in 2019.

Was there not a video a few years back of some alphabet agency coming into a classroom as the "expert" on firearms to demonstrate how dangerous they were.  Then he cranked off a round while diddling around with his weapon.

"F" troop as they are known, strikes again.  Apparently the dumbest of a pack of federal cops.

shot himself in the leg too if I remember correctly

Ive bought guns from them and have been happy with their service.  Seems shipping has gone up recently though.  I have never tried buying ammo from them though, will they ship ammo here?

Normally I'd shake my head, but the guy is still locked up at OCCC unable to post $11k bail for his pending felony theft charge, so it doesnt really matter in this case.  The judge could have only sentenced him to 1 day in jail for this case and he would still be locked up after that.

When I get to the gym, I see them sometimes in the Fisher lot.  And I also see the bum smoking Ba2 down the street with HPD in the Fisher lot.  But when I go back to my car later that night, no HPD around.  They do drive by occasionally, but that's only being there for a few seconds.  So any crime will just take place once they drive off.

Can our law makers create a law that says public property cannot be left on the sidewalk?  They came up with the bump stock bill very quickly...Unless the ACLU is being a PITA, that's why no laws were created.

There is a law about property being stored on public property, but the ACLU sued the city and won when the city would show up and start throwing stuff away.  Now the city has to give advanced notice of a sweep, give people time to move their stuff, inventory what theyre taking, and store it for 45 days before disposing of it.  Also, the city is only allowed to take certain things.

If any of you have been defrauded by him its best to file a police report.  The more people there are making cases against him, the better the chances are of getting him prosecuted/convicted.  I dont know the whole story, but unless hes broken any govt regs/laws in which the govt could be the complainant, the govt isnt going to go after him because they are not the "victims".  IE, The govt isnt going to go after him because he hasnt taken the govt's money (as far as i know).  That is why it is important that if you have been shorted by this guy to file a report.  Dont be the type that thinks, "ah well somebody else will do it" or "they already have a case against him", then when nothing happens, complain about the police not doing anything.  They need a complainant in order to make a case.    Ive not had any dealings with and am not affected by this guy, but it sounds like hes a giant pain in the ass that should probably be in prison.

Snake Look iPhone Scope Adapter mounted on a Nikon M-308 4-16x42 800 BDC Scope. Only problem is the scope is mounted low so I had to remove the bottom nylon mounting screws cause the bolt will not clear when retracting. I also had to remove the rubber housing from the Otter Box case from the phone so it will secure better. But still works well.  I have a iPhone 7.  You can use both the scope zoom or the iPhone zoom in mode.

awesome, thanks!

Why do Hawii LEO need firearms in the first place. Hawaii citizen are not allowed to carry guns.

London Police are prohibited from carrying firearms , and are only issued bully clubs.

I dont think that will go good with the guys pushing ccw. Politicians next answer is, "If the police dont need guns then why does the public?" Unless you were being sarcastic

General Discussion / Re: San Bernadino a False Flag Op?
« on: December 03, 2015, 11:22:16 AM »
On another website, the question was raised, how were the BATF and the FBI on scene so quickly?

It is not such a huge leap to think as you are possibly doing when you see things like this.

San Bernardino is only 60 miles away from LA, which has the 2nd largest FBI field office in the nation after NY. Plus San Bernardino itself probably has a small local FBI/Fed office.  First word of an active shooter and every leo in the area is gonna respond.  60 miles hauling ass from LA should take no more than 2 hours to get there, faster if they jumped in a helicopter.

roll some cotton balls or dryer lint in petroleum jelly.
For storage, grab straws from a fast food place of your choice, preferably the ones with wider straws,
Cut the straws into about 1.5"- 2" sections, then seal 1 end of the straw,
Stuff the cotton ball or lint into the straw then seal the other end.
Store in a old pill bottle or ziploc bag. The straws keep the firestarters from getting wet, and you can just light  the straw when youre ready for your fire.
