That's all very good to know, as I think my wife would have an easier time letting me get a 22 like that before getting an AR-15 or something of that family. :D Plus, I could maybe convince her to try a few shots at that calibre.

Yes, it was in progress... the progress took all of 45 seconds, the time it took them to find my car locked (I head to my front door and go outside) by then they are at the neighbors car and rip it open, I yelled they ran... 10 minutes would have been 9:45 too late... But anyways... I just try...

It's not fearfulness, it's more faithlessness... How am I supposed to ask the cops if I should detain them after they ran off, 2 nondescript punks in hoods at night... I mean, after I go inside, call 911, give them my address, birthday, phone number, etc, then get connected to a local cop who...

Did I say I'd blow someone away for stealing my laptop unarmed? All I said was that I'm not willing to bend over and take it "just please don't hurt me..." I said I would defend myself and my family. When I caught someone trying to break into my car did I have a gun? no... did I stop them? yes...

I do not agree with the whole "take what you want, just please don't hurt me" uh... defense? Could you call that defense? I don't know if I'm just cynical or what, but I assume the worst from everyone, I see someone walking in front of my house, I think he's going to break into my car (ever...

Me too Gravy...

You are correct recceguy, the AR does not require any more "stuff" to acquire, other then the multi-coloured paper stuff we hold so dear. :D

Pretty much exactly what I was thinking. :D

Well that's sort of what I was trying to feel out on the rifle side. I got the impression that for pistol skills it makes sense to practice on the one you'd be using in the field (not that it'd be likely I would use a pistol in the field...) for muscle memory etc. But wasn't sure if a rifle...

Hmm I thought the AR-15s and the like were not permitted for civy use. But I was reading on the CFC site today and they were listed as restricted. I'm not that well versed in the differences between restricted and prohibited, both those terms say "allowed but under strict rules and a lot of 'for...

Well if they can't find a livable job with a grade 10, ex-con background, maybe they should have made better choices. I don't have much sympathy for someone who chose to live outsides the boundaries of responsible  society and then cries when they are no longer accepted. You made your bed, now...

Just wondering if this is a completely ridiculous idea or not... I've been toying with the idea of getting my own personal firearms in order to keep shooting skills up on my own time. I'm under the impression that there isn't a lot of range time in the reserves (I've only recently been sworn in...

You'd think this would be common sense, but despite the name I don't think it's actually all that common...

Generally speaking, in the CF are you not a soldier first a (your trade here) second? I am very new to it all but that's my understanding, please correct if I am wrong.

You need a yellow camaro... duh... didn't you watch the movie? :D

very true spook. And real food is always superior to supplements (protein powders/shakes...) a piece of fruit and some meat/cheese would be great, hell a glass of milk would do for both.

The only problem with that is if you do "cardio" first, you are likely too tired lift safely and properly. Or at least too tired to lift heavy enough weights to really do it justice. Warm up Lift Run Warm down Keep it in the realm of functional movements (squats, pullups, pushups, press...

+10 midget-boyd... it's times like that that I wish I could vent without it coming out as an incomprehensible rant. :D

Yes everyone could snap, but what they're saying is, when that happens it won't matter if they have a gun or not, a CCW or not, they will find whatever tool they can to do the damage they want. So that point is someone moot.
