LOL, I posted their video of the simulated testing.

Yes, not awake yet, but what you say fits well. You could largely avoid the whole recoil issue with goggles, an IR light and IR laser. You could go cheaper and a little heavier with a helmet mounted Sionyx digital night vision (DNV) setup for one eye or spend more and go with real traditional...

LOL, it must be early because I am trying to rectify in my mind the dichotomy of these two options. That would be sort of like asking if folks would rather own a donkey or a spastic greyhound. Neither really covers the same functional areas of the other except from a very generalized...

You are going to want to be discerning in the NV or thermal gear you purchase. Not all of it is rated for shotguns. No single projectiles? That is going to be something of a range limiter. Hopefully, this is just the first baby step to getting the public used to the concept and night safety?

Very good catch! Reading through all of the names and dates gets overwhelming.

Colonial Female owners of guns....I did find. Estate of Mrs. Mary Steele https://research.colonialwilliamsburg.org/DigitalLibrary/view/index.cfm?doc=Probates\PB00229.xml&highlight=gun Elizabeth Baptist...

Should it matter? LOL. If the thread was about beliefs, then no, but the thread was about ownership. Also, there were statements made that people needed firearms to eat and surprise expressed if anyone didn't own a firearm. So, that aspect was addressed as well, again, has nothing to do with...

Here is the estate of founding father John Adams (not JQA as originally written, thank you orpington!). He was apparently quite wealthy. I don't see any firearms listed and the list is extensive, down to things like 1 pair spectacles. I could have missed it, but I don't see any listed...

Then you would be very surprised. First of all, you keep making fairly absolutist statements that are overly easy to refute by examples to the contrary. You would be surprised if ANYONE back then didn't have a firearm of some sort? Okay, most women, slaves, and children did not own firearms...

Very interesting. They cite the Mayo clinic for already noting CJD crossing species from cattle to humans.

Of course not. I never suggested otherwise. I was just pointing out that your statement that people could not run down to the market during that time frame was not correct as markets existed inside of towns and cities to the point that the the colonies, later states, had an established meat...

You do realize that when the Constitution was written, we had cities, towns, markets, newspapers, blacksmiths, government, etc. Not everyone lived in the rural country or was self sufficient. Many people most certainly did go to the market for their food. There was industry and specialization...

Always go the the original source. The deceaseds did hunt and consume meat from a deer population that has CWD. That is known. Did the specific deer they eat have it? That/those deer is long gone and not available for exam. The article is just reporting the possible link and potential first...

After seeing this opinion and logic expressed repeated online after the last 25 years, my answer is simple. No. It is not time to start stockpiling ammo. That you haven't done it already, means you have been missing all the signs throughout your adult life (you just turned 18/21). You are...

Side window glass isn't that thick. Either way, my point is that this isn't likely to be a bullet fail issue. It happens to police officers firing real police ammo, not gimmick ammo, not snake shot, not BB guns. As JohnKSa said, guns (and by extension, ammo/bullets) are not magic.

Happens to police officers using department issue ammo as there is their camera evidence documenting it. People do miss at close range and/or fail to connect meaningfully with their bullets.

You aren't into sharpshootery boards?

Both funny and appropriate!

Exactly, this isn't a new article. This has been going on for years since the first announcement. How long does the scientific method take? In modern day, that is often a funding issue. Historically, some developments took decades to get right. I do like how so many have assumed it was a...

How I wish costs were directly correlated with quality/capability/reliability/etc. Life would be so much easier.
