I too had a run-in with a melinated youth or rather two, one of them pulled a knife on me when I was working as property manager in a shit neighborhood, luckily I had a glock 27 and a very bright flashlight. Long story short I put the fear of god into the nig nog that pulled the knife of me, literally made him run for his life, no shots fired, local LE DNGAF.

Honestly thinking about getting a SBR'd 300 Blackout AR for that home defense roll. Short barrel, sub-sonics work is really the place where 300 Blackout shines. Put a suppressor on it and it should be the gold standard for such things.

A "pistol" 7" AR in 300 blackout is my SHTF goto.
 
Long guns for HD are ideal for obvious reasons. That said I can fit my handguns in my nightstand and already have one on me when I enter/exit my house. A K can or modular suppressor would be a nice upgrade. Something like the CGS mod9sk or Rugged obsidian 9.
 
Conventional wisdom would dictate having a gun that took readily available ammo, such as .223/5.56 (the most common round after .22lr IIRC) for when shit hits the fan, but you do you fam.
Oh I've got a little 5.56 upper a 9mm "pistol" and a .22LR conversion bolt in the collection if ammo options are not plentiful. But, frankly I have a hard time seeing anyone coming up on ammo in a true SHTF situation that they haven't stockpiled themselves prior to an emergency.
 
With the ongoing shenanigans I think I am going to sell a couple meme guns for a proper bolt action hunting rifle. Any recommendations from my fellow farmers? I like the Remington 700 action in 308 but I am open to suggestions outside of 300 AAC.

Remington 700 is pretty good but I hear the QC ain't what it use to be.

If you want to save some money you could go for a Ruger American Ranch in one of the multiple of calibers they have.

That is one of the meme rifles I want to sell. I’m thinking of dropping 2.5K (not including glass) that I can use for a lifetime.
 
Tavor X-95 fixed a lot of these issues. It has three QD mounts on each side, one at front, one in middle behind grip, one in back. The X-95 also has an AR-style mag release, making it a lot more convenient. Factory trigger is pretty decent too, especially for a military rifle.
Personally, I'd rather have at most two. But that's splitting hairs. The AUG's mag release is just ... different since it's behind the mag and underneath the gun versus to the side leading to some intresting mag swap methods.
Having to shoot anyone sucks. Should have sued them for emotional trauma, grief counseling, and trying to insinuate it was your fault.
They'd counter sue you and win on a jury trial unless you managed to bag someone who truly believes in the right to defend yourself.
HE DINDU NUTHIN JUS WALK UP AND BE ASKIN FOR MONEY, THESE RACIS CRACKAS BE POPPING BULLETS IN YOUNG BLACK CHILDREN!!!
As for shooting someone you'll get used to it after seeing a dozen or so bodies, people get desensitized remarkably fast (I know I did in childhood and in first responder work). Unfortunately, these same "people" you shoot wouldn't give a shit about you and probably brag about it.
I got mugged before and the cops basically shrugged it off since they were black and told me to get bent (not white).

Back on topic. Need recommendations for a gun for bear country, also anyone got experience with an autorevolver (I want one but no new ones :heart-empty:)?
 
Need recommendations for a gun for bear country
Depends, we discussed it a few pages back but I'll sum it up - 12 gauge is your best bet for cost effectiveness, .44 / .454 is good, .357 / 10mm is borderline.
Black bear requires less gun than brown bear which requires less gun than grizzly. Grizzlies bad.
also anyone got experience with an autorevolver
Mateba is really the only option and they're expensive. The difference from revolver/semi-auto shooting is a speed bump and you get used to it quickly until it comes to reloading it.
New imports were hinted at before the lockdowns and it's been in limbo ever since, last I heard.

I thought they stopped making Matebas?
Aside from meme factor on the .44 mag is there any other advantage over the .454? Not too sure of ballistics (I'd guess .454 is sightly harder hitting) but I'm going into Grizzly country.
Also, I figured ammo availability leans to the .44?

Availability of off-the-shelf ammunition biases the .44, but if you order online it's about equal. Velocity isn't as important as penetration so you should focus more on projectiles, specifically semi-wadcutters because of the geometry. The main point is that you have options either way you go but .44 is geared more towards manstoppers and .454 is considered more for wildlife.
If you want to look at boutique ammunition, Buffalo Bore or Underwood are right up your alley. Buffalo Bore even has some scary solid brass (or copper) projectiles for dangerous game, might be worth looking into.

I really like the Ruger American Ranch mostly because it takes the mags and ammo that my ARs do.

I was idly browsing nutty bullpup builds, and crazy Ivan never fails to disappoint: the TsKIB ASh-12, in 12.7x55.

But what interests me the most is the ammo:
dsc_1145-tfb.jpg
The 12.7x55mm is a thumper of a cartridge. It is similar in size, and probably power, to the .50 Beowulf. To help mitigate recoil, the ASh-12 is fitted with a large two-baffle muzzle brake. The 12.7x55mm assault rifle cartridge is based on the 12.7x55mm subsonic rifle cartridge (similar to the .500 Whisper).
 
A "pistol" 7" AR in 300 blackout is my SHTF goto.
Been looking into getting one myself. As far as ammo goes, I'm not exactly planning on looting random stashes and people during any sort of civil crisis. That weird sounding zoomer from tfb is starting a series on 300 bbc "pistols". I've been looking into the supersonic preformance, and for how dense this area is running unspressed with supers out of a 9' pistol gives me better preformance, and I can always get some spare buffers to go with my 5.56 uppers I still have laying around to swap if really really need be (and yes I know you gotta test it and rezero etc).
 
And then as far as gun control is racism argument goes, it is somewhat true but that meme is getting weaker and weaker when many gun control groups and rallies are filled with non white women begging for guns to be taken away and the 2A destroyed and "why do you need a gun to compensate for your peepee" and all that.
I mean, gun control in the US has always been strongly motivated by racism. Only recently did they move on to extending it deliberately to cover poor whites too.

Though yeah, it's silly to blame conservatives for that. Both sides, but especially the Democratic party, was behind that for big chunks of history.

Plenty of minority women screech about guns, but in the same way, plenty of women asslick trannies. It doesn't mean tranny stuff isn't sexist. It just means that some women are morons.
Many gun control politicians get strong support primarily from sheboons and black women, who I have seen it in real life do hate guns and don't want their men to have guns even legally.
This has never been my experience in Maryland, and in particular, Baltimore.

Maryland's Democratic party is overall against guns and within the party, the anti-gun faction is the strongest and its elected reps in the more populous districts all vote that way.

However, it's the white Democrats in like Montgomery County (the glowie home county on this side of the potomac), Howard, Anne Arundel and Baltimore County (but not so much Baltimore City) that all vote that way. The black Democrats in Baltimore City and PG County are more reticent about the issue. Of course, the white counties are more populous, so basically all gun grabber laws eventually get through after a few tries.

I'm a registered Democrat, if only so I can have some voice in my state. For federal elections I usually vote for the dumbest, most unelectable candidate in the primary, but I do take local elections seriously, mostly because they matter to me personally a lot more. In reality, I'm a somewhat right libertarian independent.

So this year, I was voting in the primary for my local reps. I'm in Baltimore. Several of the black democratic primary candidates openly said they were gun owners. (Of course, then followed up with gun grabber shlock). A white democratic candidate would never dream of publicly saying they owned firearms. That simply would not fly, and they'd probably be stereotyped as racist somehow.

But for black candidates, especially in Baltimore, it's way more common to see them saying that openly and no one really criticizes them for it. We've all seen the Wire, we know the reality of the situation. Black people in the city, including democrats, are very viscerally aware of the dangers they face (from their fellow joggers, of course).

(And while we're at it, black democrats are also way less likely to support troon shit. I think they were a crucial help in keeping the troons-in-women's-prison bill from passing here. Your typical black Baltimorean probably knows a few female inmates, if not actual family members.)

My system for picking candidates was pretty much just: shuts up about trannies = 1 point, shuts up about gun grabbing = 1 point.
What do you mean? It's so you can hold it like a proper AK pattern rifle. Duh.
