  • Having been a dumb kid growing up in bumrucksville, I’ll add this too: Congnitive load.

    You have to learn to cope with something new. Driving sucks, other drivers suck, you’re telling me I have to drive in a two lane which could become one lane at any moment? I have to watch for faster pedestrians? “Isn’t the sidewalk for bikes, why do they need the road??”, then not realizing sidewalks aren’t properly flat enoigh and mixing bikes with walkers on a 3ft wide space is as stupid as the rest of stroad design to mix pedestrians and cars.

    Nah, sounds like too much work, bikers can drive like the rest of us, “keeps everyone safer” or whatever you wanna tell yourself without thinking further. Too much work to re-evaluate.




  • Frankly if it ever gets to the point I’m using it, I know I won’t have a reason to use it at long range - I wouldn’t shoot at someone in the middle of street, they’d have to both be a threat and at my door. I could never hit a target past 200 yards anyway. If you’re in a confrontation with one person, neither of you need much ammo to resolve the situation. If you against multiple people, you’d be lucky to get a shot off before an entire armed group does. In short, if I need to fire, it will be at short range, and it needs to count.

    I’d expect a pump-action would be easier to get operator error with, is there a specific semi-auto you’d suggest?


  • I’m thinking of buying a shotgun - despite having been in the national guard my capabilities and experience with guns is pretty limited. What can I get that can take the abuse of a newbie man-handling it and still be dependable in action?

    Edit: Also, how do I know if I got the stock and general setup correct for comfortable use? Do this vary from weapon to weapon?
