I try my best to shoot ELR, which is Extreme Long Range shooting. We shoot on average from 1000 meters out to 2500 meters. This is a sport that is practiced in almost every single western country as far as I know. I also have taught some tactical shooting to some guys that offered a reasonable sum to learn what I know. I have no issues with people learning that sort of thing, I think it's a skill set that is still useful even in times of peace as a prevention measure. I do not appreciate those assholes that wear camo and run acting like dickheads and have to have all the gear that is purely tactical, but are essentially behaving like idiots about it... Usually those are the guys that do not last long, and they generally do not ask me for lessons. I charge too much, and I require too much of anyone I do train. I keep the standards I was taught.
Most of the time you do not have to shoot someone to get them to back off. There is a vast psychological weight in the threat of getting shot alone. Most criminals are weak, and of weak will. They are not looking to get injured, so most often you do not have to fire upon them to make your point to them. If I were ever forced to fire, it would suck, but it's my life or theirs. My life is worth infinitely more to me than theirs to me. I would rather not get into a fist fight, the last time I had a fight like that in the civilian world I got stabbed. It's not something I care to repeat at any time in the future. In fact I would kill to avoid it. Get stabbed does not feel good, and it was the primary motivator for me getting as big as I am, so people would just tend to leave me alone. I still run into people getting stupid though, as my previous posts indicate. I seem to attract negative attention from assholes for some reason...
BTW, you being that much taller than me seems to be the key to most of the morons that think they can rob people or start something. Not sure when people started thinking that height was the determining factor in physical competence but it's mainly only prominent in the violent 'thug' types. Being short I think has made me more of a target by most idiots. It's telling when I get called Manlet by a guy that weighs like 30 pounds less than me but is almost a foot taller than me. The last guy I actually got into a physical altercation fit that description. Me simply being short means weak to many morons.
For evidence just look at the post below this one, it's obvious that there are lot of those idiots out there.
You have it wrong. I have no issue defending myself, I just don't want to be that close to someone that means to do me harm. I can't trust anyone that means to do me harm, obviously, so why should I assume that they are not armed themselves? Don't get it confused is some idiot charged at me after learning that I am armed, I would not hesitate to shoot them in the face. My choice to be civil and adhere to the non-aggression principle is completely voluntary.
That is ok, those of us with actual operational experience deal with this a lot. There a lot of "posers" out there. I stopped sharing with people that I am former military because it's so bad that no one believes me at first, no one thinks there are any short people in the military apparently. Much less ones that have my background..... The amount of posers is just unbelievable, and the Tacti-cool morons are the source of that idiocy.
Our primary society between us is this site. As for in the real world, I don't have a society that I associate with outside of fellow Rothbardians. I don't think anything about you to be honest. I believe in letting you show me what you are about through civil debate, in fact I encourage it.
It's an An-Cap joke about the police and federal "authorities".
Not really. People still shoot daily/weekly. Some people stock up and rotate, but otherwise other than the increase of new sales, there has not been much of a large increase in consumer consumption in ammo. You have to understand, most ammo factories sell to the feds first by contract, and the surplus goes into the open market. Last year I know they bought over a billion rounds, and this year that amount has been even greater. It's just now starting to get back to normal. I haven't been able to find my caliber, because it's the caliber the feds use until this past month or so locally. It's starting to trickle out again now. The feds always get first dibs though...
