Gun Thread: First 2025 Edition!

Howdy, Y'all! Welcome to the wondrously fabulous Gun Thread! As always, I want to thank all of our regulars for being here week in and week out, and also offer a bigly Gun Thread welcome to any newcomers who may be joining us tonight. Howdy and thank you for stopping by! I hope you find our wacky conversation on the subject of guns 'n shooting both enjoyable and informative. You are always welcome to lurk in the shadows of shame, but I'd like to invite you to jump into the conversation, say howdy, and tell us what kind of shooting you like to do!

Holy jumping atomic shitballs! How in the ever-loving hell did it get to be 2025? Did you a) make a New Year's resolution, and 2) have you broken it yet? Every year mine is to not write the previous year on everything, and five days in I'm still holding strong. How many of you made focusing on shooting fundamentals a personal priority?

Snowmageddon

A big chunk of the country is getting hammered or will soon be hammered by very low temperatures, ice and snow. Are you prepared? Feel free to discuss in the comments. Good luck, stay warm, and don't forget to bring the puppies and kitties inside!

I'll mostly be in and out of the comments tonight so please don't burn the place down. Appreciate it.

With that, step into the dojo and let's get to the gun stuff below, shall we?

******
FUNdamentals
Back to basics with iron sights on a rifle.

******
When to Carry
Should you carry in prohibited places? Not so much courthouses and post offices, but how about places that simply have a sign posted?

******
When to Draw

Now that you have when to carry sorted out, when do you draw the weapon? This is something worth thinking about before the time comes.

******
Safety?
Do you need a stinkin' safety?

******
Highway Patrol!
Narcotics!

******
Our Pal the Spinning Lever

******
Remember Grovers Mill!

Shoot down the alien drones!

******
This is Badass

Space shuttle approach from 30,000ft to landing.

******
Fire!
What is it?

******
Where Did It Come From?

It came from beneath the sea!

If you would like to remain completely anonymous, just say so. Lurkers are always welcome!

That's it for this week - have you been to the range?
