In a way I am rooting for Mahdani. NYC has been going downhill since Bloomberg and just maybe having someone like Mahdani as a mayor for a while will cause people to wake up.

If the PH had one, I doubt he’d rent it out unless very well compensated, maybe thousands a day.

I can’t understand the British liberal mind. They had a great example of what unfettered uneducated Arab immigration in France where one cannot go to certain neighborhoods of Paris, even cops. They have their own little country there with their own laws. And instead of learning from it they...

No. I bought it overseas to use overseas.

I love mine with a turbo 2.8L diesel engine. After riding in one in a Safari I had to get one overseas to drive around. I'll have it forever as I bought it new in 2022 and have about 10K miles on it. Here is a pic from when I picked it up a few years ago.

Of course, took my numbered pair of Grulla SxS shotguns to ND a week ago. I will take my 6 figure Rigby double to Africa next year. Now, for waterfowl I borrowed a Beretta semi-auto as my SxS were not proofed for Hemi. I am planning to buy a waterfowl gun in the near future. I was impressed...

There is a difference between snap caps like Azoom that one buys from Amazon and the ones specifically manufactured for double rifles.

Most if not all talking points are straight off various Reddit topics.

So, things like gravity, theory of relativity etc. are foreign concepts to you as you did not know Newton or Einstein personally? :unsure:

Guess, it depends on your shooting stance. Turning one side or other to the target would screw me up as I have shot tens of thousands of rounds each year using a different stance (square to the target). You can see from the video below that my feet and body are square to the targets unless I am...

Biden is not the only POTUS that has used the autopen. I doubt they can make a case to just void his usage. I wish the GOP would learn about Pyrrhic victories and spend their time productively. They have a bit over a year before the midterms and most likely will lose the House.

IMessage which most people use is more integrated, hence convenient. I had to get my employees to start using WhatsApp yelling and screaming as they were very resistant. I prefer WhatsApp most of the time as I can use it from a PC. Early trips to Africa were with my dad as a teen in the 70s...

As Kellyanne Conway famously once said, “alternative facts”.:unsure:

That's pretty provincial of you.

How do you avoid flagging people when you draw? Assuming you end up drawing at a crowded restaurant and there is a robber in front of you.

You purport to pay attention to facts. By definition of farmer by IRS, Department of Agriculture etc. he is a farmer. Your narrow definition of farmer does not apply to a lot of farmers or farming business. From where I sit, you seem to like cherry picking your definitions and facts.

This has been my EDC for a while except I have replace Ridge with Proof wallets.

From Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farmer 'Nuff said.

That's subsistence farming. If you had a decent size farm you would not have been doing all the work. The point is that he is still affected by the soybean sales blockage by China. He does have skin in the game. I think that is what he was trying to convey. Stop trying to parse everything...

I'll have to try it out, I limited out each day in ND last week.

I think you need to learn about farming and terminology. He said he is a farmer not a farm worker there is a huge difference. My grandfather was a farmer. I saw him either in a three piece suit or jodhpurs and a riding outfit when he was inspecting his farm. Now, his farm had grown to hundreds...

First, my comment was not directed at you. Second, I have been charged by an elephant, at the distance you are aware of the charge he will catch up, they move very deceptively fast (25 mph) for such a large animal.

Absolutely. I didn't even care about finding birds (though we did, plenty) just seeing the dog work the field on command and happy while doing it was a pleasure in itself.

How many DG have you taken with a .375 in Africa? Would you face an elephant charge with one?

If you had read the article you quoted: Yes, he is feeling the pain as the income from his land is via revenue sharing which means if the farmers aren't making money, neither is he. The fact that he has other revenue streams is immaterial. Being a farmer does not always mean one is tilling...

How do you shoot handguns? It might be easier/cheaper to transition shooting with both eyes with a handgun than a rifle. Also, it might help selling it if you specified the MOA size on the Trijicon. Most of us prefer 1 MOA sights for it.

Sometimes, I really regret being left-handed.

On one of the gun forums I belong to, they also have an "off-topic" section. People do not even see it listed among sections let alone post there until they have posted X amount of times in other more relevant sections of the web site. It sure cuts down on trolls. I wonder if something like...

Well, I was in ND this past week hunting wild pheasants with Rusty. He loves to hunt and the energy is amazing. Here are some pics. Finding the pheasant in the bush. Grabbing and retrieving it. I'd say he is 70% to 80% from being a finished dog. Then again, he is only 14 months old. By...

Too many paper cuts or carpal tunnel?

Wow, you go pheasant and waterfowl hunting for a week and one guy and responses to him takes over the politics thread. Here is my two cents. I am not a fan of Trump or the way he goes about things. Some of his decisions also baffle the mind, for example his interactions with Putin...

Head in the sand much? While it might not come very close to 7 million the organizers state, yes it was in millions. https://apple.news/AopYzdD65QfelDJNLszcktg

Well, when I was charged by an elephant I had a bolt gun, a .500 MDM, it did the job. But if I had needed a second shot, I wouldn’t have had the time. Having the faster second shot is my main reason for using a double. Plus they look and feel great.:sneaky:

Heym, VC and Rigby will guarantee at minimum 2" at 50 meters and will keep regulating the rifle until it can do that or better. My Heym will have the two rounds touching at 50 meters.

In the Muslim world they don't cremate. Also, they get buried in a sewn shroud not in a box.

CA bans Glocks... https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/gov-gavin-newsom-signs-law-banning-new-glock-sales-in-california/ar-AA1OoiCt?ocid=msedgntp&pc=W069&cvid=68ed5f73f98a4b46be2d9b7d34b72f9d&ei=10 What is ironic is that: Only Gen 3 Glocks were being sold in CA. The later model Glocks have a...

Of all my PHs, only one PH carried a bolt, a .458 Lott, rest had doubles .470 and .500

To layout suppressive fire? :unsure:

My shooting glasses are plus 0.75 (what I need to see front sight clearly for pistol competitions) on dominant eye and are adjusted for astigmatism. Non-dominant eye is just adjusted for astigmatism. I shoot with both eyes open and the brain adjusts so I can aim and still see the target without...

A lot of people's costs will increase and this is something GOP needs to address for sure. However, she should listen to her side and work on that after the clean CR has passed. Then again, she is not known for common sense.

Last time I asked AI (ChatGpt) an elephant hunt question it told me it was unethical to hunt endangered species and did not answer my question. This was a while back though. I just did it again and this time (question was where to hunt elephants with largest tusks) it somewhat answered, but...

Still needs 60 votes in the Senate. But MTG needs to shut up and let Democrats hang themselves. Recently she was repeating their talking points in regard to Obamacare subsidies.

She is a former Congresswoman that first ran for the CA Senate seat in 2024. Lost the primary to GOP candidate and Schiff. CA has jungle primary where top two vote getters regardless of party affiliation run in the general election. Now, she is running for Governor to replace Newsom who is...

Why are y'all obsessed with sexual mores of people socially stuck in 15th century? Not to mention man/boy stuff goes on in the Western world as well, as evidenced by stuff found out about Catholic priests all over the World.

Most of the time I practice at 85 yards (length of the longest private bay at my gun range. Though now and then I will go to a 200 yard range where I can set targets at 100 yards. Longest shot I took was 60 yards at a buffalo and 55 yards at an elephant.

I still row 5K daily at Zone 2. The trainer does emphasize higher reps at lighter weight. No, I can’t lift two plates a side anymore at 69. One thing I am cognizant about is bone density. DEXA scans show I am doing great.

I agree. Especially the time factor. A few months ago I hired a personal trainer to come to my house 3 times a week to train myself and my partner. Not because I couldn’t do it, but to force myself to actually do it. Hard to find an excuse for doing something else when the doorbell is going to...

Would be easy for them, way out of my weight class. All they’d have to do is fall on top me, of course they’d have to catch me first which might be a challenge for them. :unsure:

Yeah, I just saw some, those guys sure were not representing... :ROFLMAO:

They might not be able to serve for long if the Army follows through with Hegseth's directives. I was just pointing out that he seems to be right as far as lack of physical conditioning in the armed forces.
