    Do Thermal and Night Optics Have a Role in Home Defense?

    I never said thermal had anything to do with containing a situation. I do like how you keep moving the goal posts. :rofl:

    Do Thermal and Night Optics Have a Role in Home Defense?

    Mmkay. Well, I can't comment on your abilities or inabilities to run your thermal properly, but given the issue of photonic barriers (over illumination of the foreground at the expense of seeing things in the background, as would be common in the woods) you should have been able to see better...

    Do Thermal and Night Optics Have a Role in Home Defense?

    I can remember back in the days of 60-65 lumen Streamlight Scorpions and Surefires that people (reciting vendor or manufacturer claims?) were calling such amazingly powerful lights "weapons" that would blind and stun potential attackers. Your could get a Surefire 6P for about $40 and it came...

    Do Thermal and Night Optics Have a Role in Home Defense?

    You set this up like it was a binary sort of situation when it should not be. Ideally, you will have several tools at your disposal to use and not will fit all needs at all times. Thermal/NV isn't a warning system. Dogs won't improve your vision after dark.

    TV Jerk Charged for Numerous Hunting Violations

    Just what area allows hunting without a license? Some states do for vermin on private property, but the exceptions are just that compared to the norms of the rest of the country or with western countries.

    Let's see some hunting self portaits

    Before starting most of my evening/night hunts, I send a POL image to my wife with the ASL gesture for I Love You. I have been doing it for more than a decade. Should could do an age progression over time with them, LOL.

    Do Thermal and Night Optics Have a Role in Home Defense?

    Back when Thunder Ranch was in Texas, the Terminator was the shoot house. Clint had an employee (Tam, IIFC?) from Vietnam that would play the bad guy in FoF. The goal was to deal with the bad guy in the house. The only thing is that Tam almost never lost except against multi-person teamsand...

    Do Thermal and Night Optics Have a Role in Home Defense?

    The fatal assumption here is that you assume your 1000 lumens is going to blind your opposition before the opposition shoots the 1000 lumen source (you). It isn't like with 1000 lumens, they won't see you coming, LOL.

    Do Thermal and Night Optics Have a Role in Home Defense?

    Just presenting a contrasting perspective...not suggesting anything is wrong with your rationale... I am not a lawyer, either, but I would not hesitate to use whatever resources I had available to me to defend my life or the lives of loved ones. I would rather have something that people may...

    Silencers - Why?

    My experience is diffferent. I have noticed no real difference in the reaction of pigs to suppressed and unsuppressed shooting. I have groups shot at suppressed that ran with the first shot and didn't stop anywhere on property and I have seen groups shot at unsuppressed that run a few steps...

    How far over book max to load when velocity is down?

    westernrover, I am going to suggest something maybe a little unsettling, but I really think you need to get some proper, formal instruction on how to reload and understand reloading theory. Either/and that and some education on the scientific method as part of your issue seems to be that you...

    Officer not engaging the shooter

    Well, here's the end user problem. We are told to wait for the cops to come and save us by all sorts of LEO and civil leaders while at the same time the courts say the cops don't have to do squat. All I know is that I have been told that I am risking my life to try to save my own life with a...

    Why No Integrally Suppressed 300 Blackout Bullpups?

    And when you think about it, why don't we see more integrally suppressed bullpups or rifles in general in other calibers? It isn't just a .300 BO thing. One of the main hassles is that it isn't just your silencer that is Form 4, but the whole rifle because it is integrally suppressed. If...

    Silencers - Why?

    As I noted above for centerfire rifle ammo, generally their reports are reduced down to (about) the sonic crack which will be in the 130s db-wise which takes you out of the safe range, barely, by a few db. So hearing protection is definitely suggested. However, I don't have to double up with...

    Silencers - Why?

    Let's face it. There isn't much cool factor with a silencer. I bought the gun for the cool factor. The silencer just makes it easier on my ears.

    Officer not engaging the shooter

    I will say this, I would never want to play hide n seek against Houston PD where I have to be IT, first. They hide with the best of them.

    Silencers - Why?

    Oh, and silencer is defined thusly... 18 U.S.C., § 921(A)(24) The term “Firearm Silencer” or “Firearm Muffler” means any device for silencing, muffling, or diminishing the report of a portable firearm, including any combination of parts, designed or redesigned, and intended for the use in...

    Silencers - Why?

    People keep making this argument, but it never changes the fact my form 4s all have the word SILENCER written on them and the word 'silencer' is used as per the definition (required for box 4 b of what can be put in the box to define said item, as explained under 1C. Muffler would have worked...

    Silencers - Why?

    There is a lot to unpack here. There are a lot of guys at the range with silencers. Okay. Then you transition to saying that these are dedicated range rifles. How do you know all the guys at the range with suppressors on their rifles that the rifles are dedicated range rifles? I can tell...

    It never fails finding a rifle deal after you already bought one…

    1. Stop looking at prices after you buy. 2. You won't regret the purchase price if you made the best deal you could find at the time. You can never do better than that. 3. It is a fool's errand to lust after prices not available to you.
