Daily reminder that unless you live in Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, or North Idaho, there is literally NO reason to carry a handgun for self defense innawoods>b-b-but muh black bearslmao imagine being scared of a big raccoon, pussy.Hunting and target shooting is fine, but don't lie to yourself that you're going to be some superhero hiking in the cascades, appalachians, or souther rockies
>>2774028Why do assholes like you insist on commenting on what is my God given right that just happens to be inshrined in the constitution?
>>2774028Based and truthpilled.Now watch as the southernlet larpers get mad about why they need muh big bore larp guns in mountainlet country
>>2774032He didn’t say you couldn’t, he said you’re a coward.
>>2774028Ranchers graze cattle on Forest Service land all over the West. You can be hiking along minding your own business and suddenly encounter a big black bull (bovine) with its dick hanging out.
I'm just afraid of serial killer
>>2774028>target shooting is fineonly if it becomes law for the state to break a bone for every pound of trash these people dump on public lands
>>2774049>all over the West"the West"want to know how I know you're not from "the West"?>>2774036this anon understands
>>2774068I drove from Arizona to Montana and back this summer and there were cows everywhere.
>>2774028Why the fuck would anyone carry a loaded gun with safety off in a backpack? How can people be this retarded?
>>2774028I have zero fear of wildlife I just think carrying a weapon is fun desu
>>2774078This, it's super fun
>be american>go innawoods where there's no-one around to shoot you>shoot yourself
Never needed a gun and I never will so I'll never own one. I'm a man of peace, you see.
>>2774099peace through strength
>>2774099Based and 5150 pilled
>>2774035>that finger
Whenever some retard says shit like this I always immediately just think they're murderers who want easy victims when they go Human hunting innawoods.If you have a gun and you don't keep it on you whenever you're outside, you're a fucking dumbass.
>>2774078Hell yes it is.
>>2774099This man is destined to have his last moments thinking "I wish I had a gun" before being raped by forest schizo or urban dweller.You can't be a "peaceful" man while not having the ability to be dangerous. You're just harmless.
>>2774170Incel wisdom
It's like Skyrim in my part part of Alabama. Large packs of aggressive, feral dogs. I went hiking once this last year and ran into a pack of two pitbulls and a huge rottweilerAnyone who doesn't carry is retarded
>>2774074Some handguns, like the 70 series 1911s, can go off even with the safety engaged. The 80 series 1911 fixed that with a third safety that only disengages the firing pen when the other 2 safeties have been disengaged. But yeah tons of guns can be fired just by slamming them hard enough even with the safety on.
>>2774028Even if you're not in one of those states you never know what exists innawoods. Grizzlies have been reportedly been spotted as far as southern Colorado. You don't know if a feral dog is in the area. You don't know if someone released an exotic pet out there. You don't know if you'll run into cartel or a serial killer. Better to carry and not have to use it than not carry and wish you had it.
>>2774099Si vis pacem, para bellum.Just as true today as 2300 years ago.
Who said it was for self defense I just like shooting at stuff
>>2774255I've been of this mindset since I started backpacking but I'm getting tired of devoting an eighth of my pack weight to a gun that I never have needed ever, climbing switchbacks I am frequently fantasizing about shedding the weight even though I am the only one in my group carrying usually
>>2774028Know who doesn't want you to carry a firearm in the woods? Skin walkers. We see you skin walker and won't listen to your lies.
>>2774265Skinwalkers are getting tired of getting raped and gaped at gun point by /k/ommandos and became anti-gunners.
Guns are fun, still gonna carry one. Sorry sweaty :3
>>2774250tons of guns made >75 years ago maybe. modern firearms always feature a firing pin block. shrouding the trigger or using a safety makes keeping the chamber loaded a non-issue. but I wouldn't expect the crybabies in this thread to understand that
>>2774099Blessed and attuned with nature-pilled
>>2774259I am prepared. We’ve got mandatory conscription and refresher training for all males round these parts.
>>2774028Interestingly, the woods is one of the few places I don't carry a gun. Then again if it wasn't private property I probably would, and if I lived somewhere with bears or cougars I probably would.
>>2774294I would add, if you are able to brush off the political and ideological trappings that have festered on every inch of this whole topic... a reasonable mind would be extremely inclined to carrying a gun in general especially when around other people. A gun is basically such a powerful tool it's value is irresistible. I mean imagine being in a world where everyone has immense magical powers and you do not? How would that feel? Would it feel good lol? You have to be an actual moron to willingly put yourself in that position. The amount of power that a gun puts in your hand is so massive compared to the unarmed- it's almost transcendental. It almost makes us godlike- really the capabilities of making change qualitatively with that one fairly simple tool/machines. How anyone, with a functional brain would willingly divest themselves of that power is truly beyond rational comprehension.

>>2774074Loaded fine. I would never carry a gun with one in the chamber.

>>2774425Denying that there's purposeful deliverance of shitskins and third worlders to the west that is already collapsing. I won't bother with you anymore. I will just say I hope a nigger rapes and kills your family in front of you and leaves you alive.
>>2774426oh, thatum, I think you're confused--I was mocking the guy that said>>Migratory nigger herd>These only exsist in your head, rent freebecause I see darkies even here in my isolated little town in the middle of nowhere.so, I agree m8, but still a /pol/ thing. I just wanna pack my gat so I can cap a bear if the situation obligates.Election season on 4c is always a shit show. even on the side boards.
>>2774028After what I've experienced in my favorite stomping grounds, you would never go unarmed again. To put it bluntly, you wouldn't get it.

WHY DO LARPERS INSIST ON WEARING BOOTS INNAWOODS?Daily reminder that unless you live in a scorching desert or an active lava field, there is literally NO reason to wear any kind of footwear for foot defense innawoods >b-b-but muh rough terrainlmao imagine being scared of soft soil and pine needles, pussy. Marathon running and track running is fine, but don't lie to yourself that you're going to be some everest mountaineer hiking in the cascades, appalachians, or southern rockies.
>>2774388Is he a fool though? The Fudd slogan “need it and not have it” is a logical fallacy (possibiliter ergo probabiliter).
>>2774612Most of the Wast Coast had an Indian Summer last year.
>>2774628People get all twisted up with rhetoric and politics on this issue. Just consider the firearm objectively- like you were a robot or something. It's capabilities, what kind if power it puts in a human's hands... it's a game-changing invention for mankind and it's so simple. Why on earth would anyone be against these things? I honestly don't understand.
>>2774628>Is he a foolyes>better to need and not haveIsn't a logical fallacy and never has been.Unsurprising a leftist fool doesn't have a basic grasp of logic.
>>2774635Because they don't want to lug an extra 5 pounds up a mountain?I carry one when I go shopping. I carry when I travel in my vehicle. I carry at work sometimes. But I don't take extra weight hiking. If I hunted in brown bear country then I would probably take a small 44mag just in case one sneaks up as I am dressing an elk. But I don't do that. You see I actually am looking at it objectively.
>>2774506>I have no situational awarenessI've already run of a bear with my hiking poles kid--you have zero idea what you're talking about. When I'm in nature I'm hyper aware, I'm not milling about like a zoomer with my headphones on and my face in my cellphone. Even tiny birds and tree rodents are obvious as shit to me.Besides, most wild cat attacks where I live occur because some idiot brings their dogs with them where they don't belong--those are what attract territorial predators and entice them to attack.
>>2774639Objectively I give zero shit what people pack with them at all and neither should you. I know a lot of hikers that are much stronger than I am and they carry more shit: good on them.

>>2774674>go back to /k/ if you want to shit up this board with posts about how guns make you a GOD among menNTA but nobody sane honestly thinks that. Having a gun with you simply allows you to take decisive life saving action in a deadly situation. Retards will misuse them, but retards misuse lots of other necessary things like cars and fire

>>2774724It's just an IQlet repeating 30 year old republicunt talking points it's absorbed through osmosis
>>2774635>>2774637I never said I was against guns, I just agreed with OP that you’re a coward if you’re scared of wild animals.>it’s not a logical fallacyIt absolutely is. I even told you which one. Just because animal attacks are possible, doesn’t mean they’re probable. Therefor you’re taking action against an extremely minor risk strictly out of fear. You are a coward.
>>2774735okay philosofag:if you bring a gun on a hike and don't need one: you've cost yourself a few extra pounds.if you bring a gun on a hike and do need one: you've saved yourself pain, and possibly your life.if you don't bring a gun, and need one: you've lost your life, or suffered some pain.if you don't need a gun and didn't bring one, you've saved a few extra pounds.your argument is disingenuous because the worst case scenario of bringing a gun with you is the minor burden associated with its weight -- whereas worst case scenario of not having one is death.(The ND issue in OP's post is a red herring, stupid people do stupid things, the gun is actually irrelevant). Tl;DR -- it's cheap insurance. Moralizing an inanimate object is retarded.
>>2774739Nta, 5 lb weight tax in an area with no reason to carry is not cheap, at all
>>2774740Also NTA but it can be half of that weight for a nice full size .357 magnum revolver. Plenty of capability for not so much weight. Of course everyone needs to weigh the weight tax vs the risk on their own, but I myself am biased towards carrying the extra pound or two to be better equipped
>>2774743What magnum full size revolver is 2.5 lbs? That's insane and would certainly change the calculus. I have a G20 and I fucking hate carrying it
>>2774740i guess i don't have much experience with ultra-light hikers or other forms of mental illness; but man, don't tell me it's just about the weight, nothing else in that weight range seems to evoke histrionics in quite the same way.
>>2774749Getting triggered at the mere mention of weight just reveals your own inexperience. I am going to have to start signing all my posts by mentioning I am primarily a mountain wilderness backpacker at this point. Carrying a gun discretely or indiscretely while still being rapidly accessible when backpacking means you are going to have weight on your diaphragm which fucking sucks during heavy exertion especially as the air thins. It's not as simple as iwb or owb where you don't feel the weight as much on your belt. A monopurpose utility item that you never use weighing 5 lbs is a lot to ask in an off trail environment at elevation
Which idiot/ coward am I?>live alone in BFE Shasta County>some neighbors are wagon burning meth enthusiasts>walk in the deep woods at night, five miles and +1500' vert home from my cousin's place where I take dinner on occasion>don't carry a gun or flashlight, only a knife.

Solo, who gives a shit if you die a horrible death? Nobody. Have someone you care about? You're a bitch if you don't carry.
>>2774750What do you weigh?Weight weenies amuse me, because I carry 250 lbs before clothes, food, water, shelter etc. Inb4 fat, I can jump twice as high as you and run twice as fast
>>2774753This is how everyone knows you've never been on a hike in your life.
>>2774643Best post in the thread, you whiny cunts should read it again
>>2774750Well, that's the beautiful thing about our country. Feel free to go hiking however you want, with whatever level of preparedness you feel is necessary -- and I'll do the same.For me, doing day hikes in backwoods southern Oregon, I know I'll most likely not need the pistol, but I'll still take it, just in case. RE weight: yeah like I said, I don't get it, over my head I guess; quibbling over a few extra pounds is silly IMO.The problem lies entirely when people of your mindset try to impose it on others.
>>2774754This >>2774751 is me too. I've worn out more footwear in the woods than your entire tribe of africans will in a lifetime.T. Timber faller for the entire 90's
>>2774753You are definitely fat and have never climbed anything in your life
>>2774748I really had my Colt Python in mind, the manual says it comes in at 2 lbs 10 oz, just a little over 2.5 lbs. Of course that's unloaded so good point. The Smith & Wesson 327 is crazy light though, apparently only 23.2 oz unloaded. With 8 rounds of .357 mag in the cylinder, should come out to about 2.5 lbs.
>>2774757>The problem lies entirely when people of your mindset try to impose it on others.That works both ways too.I'm not saying my way is the only way I am merely stating there are legitimate grievances with weight and carrying a gun isn't always a no-brainer. I'm pretty sure ITT there are lots of guys saying you should always be packing, but no one has said you should never be. It's not black and white.
>>2774762OP literally said that though, and then lots of autistic screeching on both sides.
>>2774760Yeah one of these days I am going to have to shell out $2k for something like this. Half the rounds but half the weight is a fine trade off honestly.
>>2774763To be fair he did carve out grizzly territory, but yeah this is a shit post thread
>>2774764I certainly think so. I just looked up the weight of .357 mag, looks to be about 0.5 oz per round. 6 rounds in the cyl puts my Python at about 2 lbs 13 oz fully loaded, and 8 rounds puts the Smith 327 at about 1 lb 12 oz fully loaded. Suddenly that goofy ass revolver is looking real nice lol
>>2774759Lelz you are definitely five foot three.Last time up Shasta took me five hours up, two down. Never @ me again Fluffy you twinky little fedditor fag
>>2774751you just sound like pussy thats new to living in the woods, im sure big ol' fatty like you could take a cougar hand to hand
>>2774769Get back to your corner store Jamal, you're outclassed here
>>2774768Wow a day hiker with an empty bag how epic. Now try sustaining yourself off trail for a multiday in the mountains pindick. Also where's your gun?
>>2774768What gun did you bring up Shasta?
>>2774771>another gunless picyikes bro stay strapped or get clapped
>>2774762I left my 10mm at home last trip because I had a fuckhuge knoife with me anyways. Sometimes you just hope Yogi tries for the picnic basket so you can teach him to be wary of stinky boys. Violence is cleansing.
>>2774773Didn't bring one, there were no fedditurds on the route that day
>>2774764>>2774767Then there's the Smith model 66 at 33 oz. With 6 rounds in the cylinder, that's 36 oz, or 2.25 lbs. You're getting 6 rounds of .357 mag in a stainless steel gun with a 3" barrel. And it's way less expensive than the scandium frame Smith 327. So many options for hikers who don't want to go unarmed but also don't want to lug around a ton of weight
Weight weenies are are just looking to justify their weakness. Loaded Glock 10mm: 2.5 lbs. That's 1% of my body weight, 2% of yours.Feeble can't-cunts.I own a signed copy of Extreme Alpinism by Mark Twight, I know about fast and light and when it's justified. What's hilarious is that my pack frequently ends up being a smaller percentage of my body weight than some of the moderate UL nerds I know. Inb4 "IMPOSSIBRU!" Who cares, carry if you want to, don't if you don't.
>>2774785>Who caresApparently you do since you keep posting.
>>2774702When you backpack in a group you divy up kit and the strongest person still usually ends up carrying more. If someone is beefcake enough to carry your excess excuses for being weak they can handle the 5 extra pounds that will save your dumb ass from an animal attack.>>2774724And you have no idea how the constitution works at all. The bill of rights isn't a delegation of rights the government gives the people, it is the enumerated individual rights the citizens delegate to the government to govern. The government doesn't have rights the people do and if the people don't have the right to do something it is immortal to delegate that right to the government.Everything wrong with modern America is because morons like you never learned the basics of how your government was designed to work.
>>2774749Bro, if the average baseweight is 20lbs you’re talking about adding 25% for literally no reason.Post physique. I’m 100% certain you’re a fat zoomer.
>>2774790>t. 42 y/o boomer.and yeah.. got a bit of weight to lose, but happens as you get olderyour argument makes no sense though btw. if you're complaining about 5 pounds (if that, not sure how that weight was arrived at for a pistol) on a chest harness or what, you've got other issues.
>>2774788Czekd, solid post.>>2774787I'm just doing a drivebye, the bants take back seat to pics since this is an image board, not a twinky bitchfest boa--- hol up, n/m. Anyhoo smell ya tamale bitchy faggets
Idk why everyone is throwing around the 5 lbs figure. Anon showed a few posts up that it can be anywhere from 1.75 lbs to 3 lbs depending on the gun. When we're talking weight carried on a hike, that's a huge difference. Especially when there are people chopping their toothbrushes in half to save a gram here and there.
>>2774795Stay based anon.
>>2774803Toothbrush manglers and other gram counting ninnies are exactly who we're belittling. They can only fight back online, so they're vicious little tits. They lose sleep thinking there's a label somewhere in their pack that they forgot to tear off. "If I had just cut that toothbrush a little bit shorter, I could have set the 50th fastest time on strava up the Mountaineers Route, I'm sure of it" Meanwhile they weight in at 125 lbs with shoes on
>>2774795Allow me to retort for the fedditurd:None of this matters. The entire point is to virtue signal, you see I'M in the mountains all the time going light and fast and you're a filthy casual. That's it- he's frustrated that you haven't kissed his ring yet, because he doesn't carry an extra 2.5 lbs, because he's off piste multi day magic nigger. Not possible that anyone else here goes far and fast, he's in an elite company of one.
>>2774028i live in cucknada so we can bring a gun in the woods but its harderim told that if you have a gun in the woods and don't have a hunting license you're likely to be charged for poaching. So I have to get a squirrel hunting loicense or whatever and bring an appropriate gun.. we can't bring handguns outside of ranges so I'm allowed to bring a rifle or a shotgun innawoods but it has to be for "hunting" in reality I just want to target shoot without dealing with a bunch of rarted range boomers+initiation fee+training fee+membership fee+tip+tax

>>2774805>>2774806Kind of embarrassing to be seething this much about what other people carry anon. It's just a fact that carrying more weight over rough terrain off trail and where you will be scrambling and getting into class 3+ approaches contributes to excess fatigue and is fucking dangerous and you would know that if you tried it. I like to dayhike too and weight doesn't really matter there but anyone pretending weight doesn't matter while mountaineering et al is inexperienced or arrogant and will inevitably get gut checked by mother nature.

>>2774882>your a fucking mentally ill retard making a straw man in your own head.Pure projection as all your posts ITT are shitting on some neon ultralighter that doesn't exist here. >>2774882>these guys aren’t yapping about oz mattering while they’re climbing on the fucking side of a mountain with ice picksLol>toothbrushCutting down your toothbrush is one thing, but you are associating the most milligram counting UL spreadsheeter with basic mountaineering>>2774883You are genuinely retarded if you think people who are into mountains don't give a shit about weight. The entire doctrine of traditional alpineering (arguable the first mountain sport) is designed around being as fast and light as possible. You are a fucking know-nothing
>>2774032the constitution is reddit, just carry a gun because you want to and fuck anyone who has a problem with it. You sound like a nutter going off about "god given" rights.
>>2774094This is actually my exit strategy. Got the location picked out, probably do it in 10 years if my life isn't better.
>more mileage than you>more remote wilderness than you>more years of experience than you>no gunSkurka moggs all you small-dicked sissies ITT who are too scared to even walk to the end of their driveway without a gun

>>2774938Both, its really fucking hot too
>>2774917Skurka breaks /out/ everytime he’s mentioned. He popularized the term “stupid light” while at the same time being an ultralight hiker. He’s done insane off trail hikes in trail runners (google “Skurka Yukon expedition). He’s known as a hiker (because of his firsts) but goes on backcountry ultralight elk hunts. He’s also the world’s greatest bean chef.
>>2774885Ray Jardine has a few climbing accomplishments, such as being the first person to free climb the West Face of El Capitan. He also invented spring-loaded camming devices, the generic name “friends” actually being the brand name of the design he came up with. So his credentials as a mountaineer are pretty solid.The same guy popularized ultralight hiking in the early 90’s. He hiked the PCT several times, with a baseweight ranging from just over 13 pounds to just under 10. His book, the PCT Hiker’s Handbook, was controversial when it was released in 1991, with detractors claiming his advice was dangerous. He’s also a total fucking weirdo.
>>2774028Can somebody explain to me why hikers, especially female hikers, are against carrying? You're out in the middle of nowhere surrounded by strangers. Why wouldn't you carry a gun????
>>2774953>middle of nowhere>surrounded by strangersThese two things are mutually exclusive
>>2774956I would also like someone to explain to me why people who are against carrying have a propensity for disengenuous argumentation.Why do you deny reality for the sole purpose of convenience? Everyone knows hikers encounter each other regularly.
>>2774957>Everyone knows hikers encounter each other regularly.Not in the middle of nowhere. Even 5 miles from the nearest trailhead there aren’t as many people.
>>2774967>aren't as manyOkay, so we've agreed that hikers meet strangers in the middle of nowhere.Now why, for this reason, shouldn't a hiker carry?
>>2774969>5 miles from the trailhead is the middle of nowhereKeep going>but why not just carry?Because there’s no threat.
>>2774639Why do you people assume that driving your ass to some park and hiking is the only form of going outdoors? I mean you do realize that some of us live in the woods, I don't carry any pack at all in the woods and on a weekly basis I probably spend more time in the woods kek. If I go walk out my backdoor and spend the day in the woods I'll generally only carry maybe an empty cloth sack, a pocket knife, pruners, and a shovel or machete. Occassionally I might carry a gun if I feel like it. Loading yourself up with gear and walking on a trail as fast as you can is not really what I think if as quality time in the outdoors. I mean I go into the woods and piddle around mostly. Find some thick stuff to poke through. Look at the plants, wade through the swamp, see the change through the seasons, look at the animals, take some pics, look for snakes, mark plants, get seeds get seedlings, pick berries collect other fruits etc. occassionally hunt. I mean I have nothing against people who like to hike but I DO have a problem with this assumption that what you're doing is the only form of being outdoors kek. In my opinion it is a low quality form of being in the outdoors. I mean I might carry a gun occassionally but I don't walk on manicured trailes carring a fucking 30lb pack either with granola bars in it kek. If I sleep in the woods for fun occassionally I use a hammock in a little patch of red cedars that I've had in that spot for like 4 months now. If I get hungry I'll walk back home in a number of hours and make some bacon and eggs or something.
>>2774976>encountering strangers>no threat????????
only if huntingotherwise, i have no need; i don't intend to get into a fight when /out/, and i can run just fine. knife can kill animals in defense
>>2775162>i dont intendinvalid retort to preparedness considerations
I'm really sick of carrying my pistol, but here's the problem. Between me and "da woods" there are niggers. I don't go through the niggers without the pistol. I don't want to leave the pistol in my car. So I'm stuck carrying it.
>>2775330Have you tried not being a racist piece of shit?
>>2775338NOPE
>>2775338Just because he's racist doesn't mean he's wrong.
>>2774028>there is literally NO reason to carry a handgun for self defense innawoodsCucks like you saying I shouldn't do something is reason enough for me.Which is why I only open carry my gun during tourist season. Love hearing hose cityfags bitch about it.
>>2774028Sometimes I feel like if I had a gun I'd feel more comfortable. Then I remember it's just some other random shit I gotta carry, I'm usually carrying a cutless tho if I'm going off trails and such.
>>2774448I wouldn’t worry about it.
>>2774740I’ve never seen anyone with a gun further than 3 or 4 miles from the trailhead, including Alabama and Florida. I’ve seen lots of non-hunters carrying, but they were never far from a road. It makes sense.
I don’t carry a gun to shoot wildlife I carry a gun to shoot homeless vagrants
>>2774841>I'm an asshole to my friends who do things I don't approve of.You're an abusive piece of garbage and I hope your friends realize this and stop hanging out with you--if they haven't already.>>2774906>>2774918>If I don't understand at all how our government works I can pretend we live in a collectivist government.As usual the dumb and industrious are dead set on making slaves of us all.The government doesn't have rights--the individual does. We don't live in a democracy and people like you are cancer. The constitution created the greatest country in recorded history and your total ignorance, fueled by jewish propaganda, is hell bent on making us all serfs under the oligarchies who hate you.
>>2775519That's because you never go further than 4 miles from the trailhead, karen.
>>2774788>When you backpack in a group you divy up kit and the strongest person still usually ends up carrying more.No one does this except family meme bets and couples. What the fuck are you talking about?
>>2774981Yes, there is no threat. It’s all in your mind. I can’t change that, only you can.
>>2775535>No one does this because I don't do thisfantastic cope, I applaud you, I truly do. This really just tells me you and your friends are weekend warriors that never leave the trail.
>>2775537>there is no thereat...so why are you so threatened by people legally carrying guns innawoods?
>Dude you don't need a gun, nothing dangerous exists anywhere it's totally safe bro>>2774821This guy gets it, bear spray has always been a meme marketed to fags who are scared of guns. Thankfully the problem solves itself when they get killed by their own incompetence.
>>2774094it's the american way, what's wrong, too much freedom for you?
>>2774094I'm always impressed that midwits love to shit on america all day but never ever tell you where they are from. I bet this is a canadian cuck who pretends their healthcare system doesn't promote doctor assisted suicide or some euro cuck that needs a loicense to own a bread knife.

>>2776073>nail: headlel, uMad>>2776076>I have had more fire arms experience than youI really, really doubt that. I don't need to carry anything but I don't care if others do. 40MM MK19s are my fav but the M2 still has a special place in my heart. I let the other guy shoot the belt of SAW tracers, it looked cool though.A10s, Spectre gunships, even danger close A-10sFun times.. but na, you are a little kid with a bb gun to me.
gonna deprive this shitposting child citing call of duty from any more (You)s. Hopefully your parents shut off your internet
>>2776084LOLLook how mad you are.I even shot 155mm, 105m, 60mm and 40mm on the old M16 under carry platform.Sorry to bruise your ego but I'm the real deal and you're really not as cool as you clearly think you are.
yeah I'm sure you can cite the twist on an M16A4 or how many grains are spec for M855 or M193 without googling it you zogbot larping retard. if you love the constitution so much why don't you post something actionable and specific about it so I never have to read your shit posts again
>>2774094Gotta shoot somethin'.
>>2774099If you want peace, prepare for war
>>2776091>he madhead spacing timing gauge!I have nothing to prove to you--you're the one who made the claim you knew more about guns than me.It was an M4 with the grenade launcher; my bad. I had to run a range for TPT (training practice rounds) before moving to the explosive rounds.A 105 uses cheese charges that look like giant tea bags full of gun powder that you cut off the excess (and burn later) depending on the range you fire.I only shot the towed type of 155 and that is all seperate loading--the explosive charges are big puck like bags.The gunpowder used in artillery isn't the same as the commercial stuff it has microperferations.If you watch an AC130 gunship at night there is no mussel flash. If you have NVGs on you can see the 30mm gun firing--looks like a laser beam.Smoke rounds are base ejecting and there isn't an minimum safe distance like there is for HE rounds: I almost got hit with a smoke puck on a danger close mission.Apache helicopters use the same radios as the ground forces but if you have close air support you need a FAC or TACP with a different radio because the freequencies are different. Target talk ons obligate units of measure established each mission.I could go on but your very obviously delicate ego is already at the braking point.
yeah, didnt ask, not reading your copeeven on the off chance you aren't a larping child I hope you die waiting in line for the VAget fucked either way
>>2776105I still don't understand why you're so mad?You must be a cop if you hate private gun ownership so much.
no, cops, like yourself, are low IQ enough to think the constitution is some sacred artifact to sexually service. real heads know none of that shit matters
>>2776109>Incoherent raging>Fuck the constitutionSo I'm a cop/larper/gamerWhat does that make you?
someone who actually goes outside lmao
>NO reason to carry a handgun for self defense innawoods...no more or less than anywhere else. I think people that carry guns and spend time in the woods can be annoying about it because of muh libtards and then try justify carrying with inane arguments about woods animals which would probably be much more effectively deterred by bear sprayanyways carry a gun innawoods because larping is fun :)
>>2776081I despise the 40mm grenade it's just a dumb platform even from the mk19. But Christmas Eve many years ago we just got to dump every 40mm grenade we had into an already riaded compound and it was a glorious sight. But we didn't have any mk 19s mounted the day before when we actually raided the place. It's a retarded weapon.
>>2776131I never said it was good. I like it because it's really fun. I brought it up because that dude was having an incoherent autistic melt down and most people never ever get to see a MK19 in person, much less shoot one.You're right though--they're pretty dumb otherwise.
>>2776122Finally a good post ITT
>>2776145>incoherent autistic melt downlook man ive meticulously handloaded for dozens of different calibers including smokeless and black powder for a decade or so, I think it's fair to say thats more firearms experience than most people, even your average milfag, and probably you too seeing as how you only listed one kind of rifle in your CV up there. you got me beat on crew served and heavy weapons though, for your sake I hope you werent on the gunships you mentioned or theres a good chance you have blood cancer because the .mil is a shit institution that doesn't care for its own peoplenone of this countermands what my actual point was though: guns are toys for most people even if they swear otherwise. having some goofy internalized narrative about gunning down a charging animal in the bush or defending the republic red dawn style or otherwise is just delusional

>>2776469you've never come across an angry moose before huh? lol.
>>2776472I'd wager you haven't either (since you're posting here =P)What would you even need to bring in order to realistically stop an angry moose from wrecking your shit? As in, if you're getting charged by one; gun or not, you're well and truly fucked.
>>2776483i've come across many moose but never an angry one. My nephew got charged once. They are not to be taken lightly - esp at 1400lbs lol https://www.alaskasnewssource.com/2024/05/20/moose-charges-2-men-near-homer-home-killing-1/this woman dumped 6 shots from a pistol and it did nothing.https://www.outdoorlife.com/survival/alaskan-musher-dog-team-attacked-by-moose/
>>2776490>.380thats why you carry a 10mm in bear & moose country
>>2776492there is a high possibility you get bludgeoned or mauled to death before even a 10mm stops an animal that large, unless you are actually rigorously practiced with the weapon you are carrying, which is another reason this thread is filled with larpers
>>2776403>duck the construction
>>2776521The problem is the breast plate and shoulder blades on the front will stop a bullet. That's why you're supposed to take broadside shots. If it's charging you you are going to need more penetration to break through the bones and into the lungs and heart. But the other problem with anything over a .40 is you can't fire it both rapidly and accurately.
>>2776546This is what you're hitting.
>>2776546>>2776547yeah man its a crapshoot for sure, there are lots of videos of guys in thick brush getting jumped by a huge animal. that doesnt necessarily mean carrying a defensive weapon is a fools errand, but it does mean that if you dont have a setup that lets you draw and present quickly and you arent practiced with it, you may as well not bother. for some people peace of mind is worth the weight but I wouldnt call it a forgone conclusion that every hiker should be packing. but that really isnt a satisfactory answer for a dopamine slum like this board

as far as the lower 48, i can understand carrying a gun if you're doing serious off-trail/multi-day trips in extremely remote environments. i can not understand carrying a gun if you're on popular well-traveled trails unless there's a recent history of grizzly/cougar attacks.
>>2774028>there is literally NO reason to carry a handgun for self defense innawoodsI don't actually require a reason to carry a handgun in the woods. Or a rifle. Or any firearm I like.
>>2774028262 replies and not a SINGLE mention of bear cans, bear bags, bear-safe campsite practices, bear mace, or literally any other common practices for protecting yourself from wildlife. Are you ALL bushcrafters and paranoid racists? Jfc.
>>2776663If an animal kills you in the woods it'll be a human 9 times out of 10
>>2776650>what the fuck is your point you stupid cunt?They were hunting bear. They shot the bear. They didn't kill the bear. They only wounded the bear. They followed the wounded bear. Only then did the bear attack. Had they not been following a wounded bear, they wouldn't have been attacked. Had they not wounded the bear, they wouldn't have been attacked. Had they not been hunting bear, they wouldn't have been attacked. Is this really so hard to understand?inb4 some dumbass pipes up with "but you shouldn't leave a wounded animal! Following the bear they failed to kill is the correct thing to do!" Yes, and had they not shot at the bear in the first place, the bear wouldn't have been wounded and they would never have been in danger.
>>2774028how often do bears attempt to eat people sleeping in tents?like straight up rip through the thin fabric and fuck you up?
>>2776665>MISSING THE POINT ENTIRELYThe assertion of OP was that a gun was only neccesary if in grizzly country- insinuating black bears were no threat and never attacked.

>>2776662Apparently you don't need a reason to post either.>>2774028>>2776468Nonsense. There are plenty of wolves and bears where I live (Dolomites, Italy). Never seen a single one of either species, even though I'm up in the mountains whenever I can. I hear them very often, sure. But that's it.We'e had 2 people die by a bear attack in the past half century in this area. One was an old guy taking his dog for a walk and the dog just wouldn't shut up. The other was a retarded jogger with his headphones on (both killed by a bear). Nobody ever had any problems with bears apart from those 2. Nobody ever had problems with wolves, ever. Apart from farmers, and they've got much bigger issues aka wild boar and doe.
>>2776669>Apparently you don't need a reason to post either.or you're too stupid to grasp the reason I posted
>>2776667bears rarely "eat people". If they attack you in your tent its cuz you were a retard had food in or around your tent.

>>2774028Sounds like he just tossed it in there with a round chambered, this is why we follow basic firearms safety kiddos. Don't know why he stored it with one in the chamber anyways, he's not gonna be able to get that firearm out of his backpack in time for that to matter lol.
>>2776888¿Porque no los dos?
>>2776729In a bear bag. Then you hang the bear bag in a tree using cordage. At least 15 feet up, at least 5 feet away from the trunk. The bag should is supposed to be hung at least 150 feet from camp. I’ve done way less than 150 feet before and been ok.Alternative strategy is a bear can, which is a hard-sided container specially made to be impossible to open unless you are a human with thumbs and tools. You put it far away from camp before sleeping. These and other practical bits of actual /out/ practices that /out/ will call you a nigger and tell you to Kys for saying lol
>>2776888Based digits. I carry 50 lbs minimum on my long treks and never have the kind of problems these weak ass UL faggots on this board have. I guess I'm just too fucking masc and swole to be concerned with shaving weight like a scrawny bitch.
>>2776888>>2776949If I can get around 50 lbs dry for a week long backpack I'm ecstatic. "Just get stronger" is bullshit when you are pushing 60-70 lbs or worse when fully loaded on the initial ascent into the mountains. Most I've carried at the start of a week was 90 and it was not an experience I'm keen to repeat. Everyone who talks shit about planning around weight on this board is a larper who has never done more than a 3 day in front country with negligible elevation change, let alone any foray into a challenging environment where water or warmth is hard to come by or special gear is necessary. In those kinds of environments every pound saved means extra water, fuel, safety gear, or food. The extra speed, lower fatigue, and less bulk that comes from having a lighter pack in general are all things that recommend caring about weight as well.If you are a dipshit kid who has never been injured or felt wear on your body from days of serious exertion you come to online outdoor forums to talk about how "masc" you are because of your heavy pack though
>>2776943When did bear bagging become controversial on this shithole board? How much worse can it get at this point
>>2776815Yeah I guess at least that's enough to shoot yourself with when a bear you can't do anything to decides it wants to peel your succulent calf meat off of your shin bones

>>2776949Based chad>>2777042Seething libcuck. My record for a 7 day was 100 lbs and I was at 2400 meters above sea level on average. It's rather amazing how comfortable you are talking out your ass.

>>2777448>If I can't do something it is impossible for others to do that thingat this point I think you're either a third worlder who doesn't care at all about the thread and are just here to harass white people or are a GPT sent as an attempt to normalize attacking gun owners with incomprehensible nonsense that is based on emotional and personal attacks and devoid of actual content.Libcucks can't win any argument based on factual discussion and any attempt to have a sincere conversation ends up like this--you being dishonest and lying using pilpul as a primary tool.There is an off chance you're just a deranged libcuck who is incapable of winning any actual sincere debate on gun owenrship so you do what has been done in this thread--spew all sorts of lies and nonsense because you're unhinged.Stay mad. lol.
>all that text>ur mad not me!! ok seething poltard. I dont give a shit about your dumbass politics but I know you haven't carried shit in the mountains, let alone a 100 lb pack for alpine backpacking, and you should go back to whatever shithole you crawled out of. this is (ostensibly) a board for people who go outside
>>2777438dude i want a burger :(
>>2777465Yes, your incoherent logic is a hallmark of GPT.
>>2774028I like LARPing as a cowboy.
Carrying a gun and larping is fun innawoods. It's a great way of exercising while keeping that trigger finger happy. Also, we got honest to God wendigos up here, wouldn't wanna be caught with my pants down
>>2774028>carrying a gun innawoodsBecause I grew up there, and I've seen what goes bump in the night.
carrying a gun innawoods is the same as concealed carry. it's a little about practicality but mostly about rustling commie jimmies who hate freedom which is super based. people being extra butthurt warms my cockles.
>>2778179Same--I don't think people actually realize how many crazies live in national forests... and I'm not talking about the good kind.

>>2774035Even as a cucked Australian I'm embarrassed that you even consider that a weaponAre you planning to take on an old lady with a teaspoon or something?
>>2774028I have panthers and pigs where I live that will eat you and rattlesnakes and copper heads that will bite you. Your removal of my gun rights is a direct attack on my right to live and I will respond accordingly.
>>2778203people like this guyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Rollingwho I ran into a few times after which I determined to start carrying innawoods legality be damned.
>>2778269Exact case in point. Tonight a racoon got in my guinea cage and ripped o e of its wings off and was eating it alive when I heard it and ran outside. I chased the fucker in the woods and blasted at it and got a good shot. Firearms are necessary for survival where I live and you trying to take away guns is a direct attack on my livelihood.
>>2774028I carry a gun because the park I mostly hike in is close enough to a city that there are niggers, at least for the first mile or so of trail. Not really worried about bears, they are generally cool if you leave them alone. Big cats are rare here, but do exist, but I also know that if a cat wants to jump me, I'm probably getting fangs through the back of my head/getting my neck snapped before I even know the cat is there. So the gun is for niggers. And it helps ensure faggy college kids avoid me. Boomers from out of town think it's cool since they are usually visiting from blue state hellholes where it's illegal to carry a gun.
