In that case I just forgo the top strap and use the compression straps. I really only do this when packing something out and knowing I won't need to get my rilfe out again.
All of these moves in recent days by Dick's, Walmart and now REI are not political, just business decisions. When the the majority of the public feels a certain way it wouldn't make any sense for a big business to go the opposite way.
Never have been a member and never would be as long as dipshits like LaPierre and Loesche are representing the organization. The amount of inflammatory fear mongering they spew is turning off reasonable people. They fight for the 2A at it's peril.
As well as other religions. See Brazil, Honduras and Panama if you are looking for Christian countries. The oft-reported idea that more religion is the answer to violent crime etc is completely false.
Then how do you explain the much higher rate of murder and violent crimes in countries considered more religious and the opposite for more secular countries?
Thanks for posting Matt. Hard to believe that unanimous support from FWP and what looks to be overwhelming support from the public still has the 3 holdouts hemming and hawing. Rosendale thinks the next big oil/gas boom in MT will be in that area so his motivations for not approving are quite...
Yeah I just read something that perhaps he was trained/instructed to not enter an active shooter situation alone. Either way, when you are one dude with a pistol vs someone with much more firepower would you do any different? When you are an armed teacher and kids are dead and dying around you...
I started this thread to see if grown ass men with varying opinions on a hot button issue could have a respectful conversation. Other that the usual man babies who insist on attempting to insult those with different opinions on every non-gear thread around here, for the most part it's been...
All of you folks who think arming school employees, primarily educators, would work to neutralize a shooter with likely much more firepower where in this case a trained SRO couldn't perform his duties?
At the very least we shouldn't allow drug companies to market directly to consumers. How many parents with a fidgety kid went to the doctor and told them they should be on Ritalin after they saw a commercial/magazine inserts/etc?
Kevin I agree but as you probably know but school funding is pretty limited. In many towns across the country it's hard enough to pass a levy to increase school funding, which means fewer materials, higher student/teacher ratios and definitely fewer resources for mental health. I believe in...
What I've seen quite often in these discussions is something along the lines of "20 dead is nothing compared to whateverthousand that die from drugs/planes/abortions/etc". It's not really an apples to apples comparison IMO. What makes these situations harder to handle is the location and...
