Anyone satisfied with any budget weapon lights? (Like <$80) I have a nice regular flashlight SureFire, but I also have some Chinese knock offs that are also super bright, and very dependable. Just wondering if there are any decent quality Chinese knock-off lights that you can trust, mounted to your Pistol/Rifle/Shotgun?
streamlight and wml are right around $100. there are a lot of used surefires in this category also
thanks where do i buy used surefires?
>>27904233
Buy the streamlight
The AR-15 is lighter, cheaper, has more/better accessory options, and has lighter and cheaper ammo
FAL is sexy as fuck. Convince me to buy a FAL. I only plan to buy one rifle to go with my mossman, because I personally don't feel like I personally have a need for multiple rifles when the happening will never happen and I just want something for shooting paper.
>>27903951
You'll end up getting both, eventually.

>convince me to buy an FAL
>the FAL is sexy as fuck
You just convinced yourself and you didn't even know it. I bought an AR first cause I knew it was more practical but eventually bought the FAL a couple years down the line.
The FAL is a lot more fun to shoot, fondle, and look at. The AR would be better for a happening that will never happen, less recoil, and ammo, mags and accessories are more common and cheaper. Yadayadayada you know all the reasons that an AR is better but I think if you come to the understanding that you will only have one rifle, S will never HTF(and if it does a FAL would still work), and you can appropriate all of your funds towards FAL mags and .308 instead of grip-pods and shit like that, you will decide the

FALs are too inaccurate since the operating system is slav in origin.

Should we retire the A-10, and if so, what would you replace it with?
Pic definitely related.
>>27903802
The only reason they are considering retiring it is so the military-industrial complex can spend a few hundred billion more replacing something that works perfectly

Okay... .380 is mediocre.

ITT: We're a better ISIS terror cell
After the attacks on Paris I thought how fucking bullshit their entire operation was. Clearly with the fucking resources they can gather up (They found a fucking rocket launcher in Lyon) they could easily kill a bunch of more people.
I came up with the following ideas. Don't fucking ask me why I thought about this kind of shit, I just thought you could optimize their ways to kill.
>Mortar strikes into stade de france
Since they can't lay bombs there before a game or get in during a game, a mortar strike from a nearby building would kill a whole bunch of people. Mortars shouldn't be that difficult to get and are easy to transport.
>Second sleeper cell for the day after
After the attack on Charle Hebdo thousand of people gatherd at the Place de la République and at Charlie Hebdo itself. This time it was no different.
Prime oppurtunity for another attack.

stop giving them ideas and be glad the asshats (kebabs) thought a pressure cooker was the best way to go for an IED, instead of a pipe bomb filled with finishing nails
... I mean fucking idiot kebabs amirite

COINTELPRO get out.
>>27903633
ISIS leave.
I want to buy a revolver just because.
Is .38 special a good round compared to 9mm?
Yeah. Get one in .357, then you can shoot that and .38 in it, and the extra mass will soak up recoil like a champ. I can help you out. What's your budget?
>>27903517
$150
>>27903578
Up to $500, but I'm still trying to look for a good deal.

Classroom firepower: Ohio teachers increasingly pack heat on job
Dozens of school districts in Ohio now allow teachers who have conceal-carry permits to pack heat on the job.
In several cases, boards of education have been pressed into adopting the policy by parents concerned about school shootings in the wake of the 2012 shooting at a school in Newtown, Conn. While an exact number of Buckeye State districts now allowing teachers to have guns in the classroom is not known, there are at least 40, according to Joe Eaton, director of FASTERsaveslives.org, a program affiliated with the Buckeye Firearms Foundation which sponsors training for teachers from the school districts,,
“The sad thing is that time is these situations in the most important factor,” Eaton said, “and waiting for outside help is just not a viable solution anymore.”
"The sooner they are stopped, the fewer people die. It is really that simple."
- Chad Baus. Buckeye Firearms Foundation
Teachers who recently took part in the program were taught not only about gun safety and use, but were taught paramedic skills and how to react to active shooter situations, according to WKRC in Cincinnati. Teachers and administrators trained side-by-side with local cops and paramedics at the Tactical Defense Institute in West Union, located in Adams County.
The training entailed practice scenarios in which the armed protector must find and subdue the threat as students flee a classroom. In addition to the combat training, those who attended the exercise were also given combat casualty training where they learned how to treat injuries at the scene with bandages and a tourniquet.

“Safety of our kids should not be a controversial issue. This is not about guns,” Jim Irvine, also with FASTERsaveslives.org and the Buckeye Firearms Foundation, said. “For nearly 60 years, not one student has died from a fire. That is due to a redundant, overlapping approach to safety.
“We should be copying that same method for incidents of violence in our schools," Irvine added. "You need something that is effective. Show us another method and we would invest in it.”
Chad Baus, of the Buckeye Firearms Foundation, also stressed the importance of training educators in these skills.
“The single most important factor in active killer death toll is time,” he said in a statement to Foxnews.com. “The longer killers have their way in so-called ‘no-guns’ zones, the more people die. The sooner they are stopped, the fewer people die. It is really that simple.
“The importance of the decisions being made by these school districts to make sure that willing teachers and administrators have the proper tools to protect the children in their care cannot be overstated. Teachers will do anything for ‘their kids,’ including dying."
The 3,500-student Sidney, Ohio school district adopted the policy in the wake of the Connecticut attack, in which a troubled gunman killed 20 young children and six staff members before police arrived.
“It made us as a school district look at the system we had in place to keep our children safe,” Superintendent John Scheu told FoxNews.com. “We quickly learned that we didn’t have anything in place. We decided to be pro-active.”

>>27903432
Rules regarding gun handling differ from one district to another, with some allowing teachers to carry firearms in the classroom and others requiring the guns to be kept in locked safes, only accessible by trained teachers.
Nearly 40 teachers in Sidney volunteered to be part of a first-response team, in which they were trained and provided with bulletproof vests as well as handguns that are kept in biometric lock safes in various locations throughout each of the district's seven schools. It is part of a multi-layered approach as the schools also have buzzer-only entrances and armed security, comprised of ex-law enforcement officials, on duty during school hours.
“We learned that we may not stop a shooter from getting into the building. If they want to, they will find a way, but if they enter, we can stop them in seconds,” Scheu added.
Officials from FASTER say that school districts from at least five other states have reached out and expressed interest in the program.
Those on the other side of the gun debate say more guns won't make children safer, even if they are in the hands of trained teachers..
“It's profoundly sad," said Ladd Everitt, spokesman for the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence. "Ohio seems incapable of addressing the real problem, which is the disturbing number of households in this country that make firearms readily available to young men in crisis.
“What a message that sends to young people," Everitt added. "This is a profound moral failing. Perhaps the children themselves would have better solutions.”

Anybody?
How are knife laws in your state/country?
http://www.knifeup.com/knife-laws/
>It is legal to own any type of knife in North Dakota. North Dakota has no laws making it a crime to own any kind of knife.
Can't conceal weapons
Can't carry switchblades or spring assisted knives
thats it really, however each city might have there own by laws about it.
Also even though you can legally carry a 12 inch bowie knife, unless you are innawoods and hunting / camping and just walking through the city you will attract attention from other people and cops.
SW Ontario
>>27903213
Nevada just legalized auto/switchblades this year, so laws here are pretty legit now. Not sure about fixed blade carry, but any folding knife is now legal to possess in public, no blade length bullshit or anything.
>Indiana
All knives are completely legal and unregulated. This includes switchblades. I conceal carry a 3.5 inch automatic OTF every day. The only things that are banned are "Chinese throwing stars", but that's weaboo shit anyways.
How viable is this /k/?
It's a fold out bullet proof briefcase.
Apperently heads of state in South America and Africa use this in their personal security, as well as other rich people and drug lords.

Looks pretty tactical in action.
I think it can provide you a supreme tactical advantage.

Its not the 60s anymore people have rifles. Thus soft armor is pretty useless.

silly/10
Do you still feel like your sidearm is enough?
If not, what is enough?
No, im not talking about muggings, im talking about straight up terrorism.
Truck bombs, suicide squads
Is there ANY WAY (short of never leaving your house) to be safe?
Ive been carrying for years, I will continue to do so, but I hear about something like france which freedomfries aside is without a doubt an industrialized civilized nation, or the boston marathon a little further back.
This shit is 10x scarier than 9/11. I travelled a LOT after than with all the dont let the terrorists win, remeber to make your vacation trips etc..
But now; I actively avoid movie theaters on premiers (used to go to tons of midnight premiers in the past) Sporting events? no more, parades? I steer clear.
Is there any way for the "average person" to be safe from this?
I love guns, but more rights will not help. Even if you wear your pc and carry your ar everywhere they outnumber you and have explosives.
Almost feel like total marshall law or 1982-esque drone filled skies and natguard at every corner is the only thing that would work...
It's worse here in the UK where in some places it seems like every 4th person is a Muslim. Not only that but they roam around in groups of 10-15, you never see one on their own. I live in a small town so I'm unlikely to be caught up in an attack but everytime I've been in London I always scan my surroundings 24/7 and look out for unattended bags on Tube trains. I also keep a lookout for groups of grown men of Asian appearance, if they are together, wearing backpacks and look suspicious it raises alarm bells in my head. There isn't much I can do really apart from plan escape routes in my head and look for areas of solid cover I can run to.
>>27903012
Great, so you acknowledge that a small-scale terrorist attack every couple of months absolutely hinders your ability to live a normal life and enjoy the things you used to do. Terrorists win, you lose. Worry more about your heart-health/driving ability than avoiding social contact and confined spaces. The lifetime chances of you dying in a terrorist attack are a big fat giant ZERO percent. won't happen. enjoy sitting in your basement finger-fuckingg your .50 cal BMG with your scanner radio and infowars blaring in the background. surely you will be the one to survive the red-dawn influx of ISIS jihadists dropping from the sky any day now.
No matter the size of your gun, how large of a clip you got, or level of the body armor you're wearing its not going to protect you from an IED.
The only defence is vigilance
I live in a small secluded apartment complex just outside of a fairly small town.
Just a few minutes ago, there was a knock at my door and through the peephole I saw two people standing in front of my door looking around (they were black and wore slightly baggy clothes if that gets your /pol/ juices flowing). I had never seen them before in the neighborhood. I kept the door locked and went into my bedroom and peeked out the window and saw that there were two SUVs parked in my numbered parking spot and my neighbor's numbered parking spot in front of my house. There was white girl sitting behind the wheel of one car and another guy standing outside the cars looking around.
I thought that was fishy so I slapped my CCW and holster on my hip and grabbed my Beretta CX4 (30 rounds of 9mm, this short, light, and handy carbine is my main home defense gun) and went back to the peephole in my door. The two guys were still there and they were talking quietly to each other. I couldn't hear what they were saying. They knocked once more and went back to the cars. I went back to the bedroom window and watched them. The four of them talked for a bit and then one of them went back up to my door and knocked again, and after waiting a bit he went back down to the cars.
They got in and drove away very slowly. They drove down the rest of the apartment complex's parking lot before turning around and drove very slowly back across the front of my house before stopping in front of my house for about 15 seconds before driving away much quicker than they were driving before.
Am I being paranoid? Does that seem sketchy to anyone else? I know all of my neighbors fairly well and I'd recognize those cars if I had seen them around before. To be honest it was weird at first but when I saw the girl still in the driver's seat and the other guy standing around looking fishy my heart was racing and when I grabbed my CX4 the safety was off. This has never happened around here or to me ever before.
That's not being paranoid at all OP, I'd completely say you did the right thing.
To go one step further maybe give your local police a call and tell them all the details you can and let them know some people are being really fucking shady in your neighborhood. Might help the police and you.
sounds like they had the wrong adress to a party.
or you deal drugs and they wanted to knock off ur stash, probably not though because they would have most likely kicked your door in if that was the case

Fake picture, by the way.

>WHY DO YOU NEED A GUN??!!?11!
Because although massive, my penis is not an effective self defense weapon.
>>27902746
oh no its a real picture, as real as your computer screen
I think the term you're looking for is staged
>>27902724
>france has a way to liberal gun law
that means they're way too restricted right? lol
either way, have the idiots educate themselves on where the kebabs actually got their weapons.
Alright /k/, we need to be more vigilant as gun owners and better armed citizens by carrying 24/7... no excuses. I live in fuckin NYS and we aren't allowed to CC in my county but I, as well as all of my friends carry every where. Mall, gas station, movie theater, university, hospital visits, it doesn't matter. It hasn't mattered for a long time. The law has nothing to do with you and your families safety.
Eurobros. Carry knives. Make your own knives with grinders and good steel. Kydex and G10 are cheap enough to make sheaths and handles. Arm yourselves with whatever you can since your gov hates your freedom.
All nationalities, learn as much medical procedures for gunshot wounds and trauma as you can. Carry medical equipment on you or in your car. If you have and carry a gun, you should also have the knowledge to save a life as well. All Mass shootings and terrorist attacks have more wounded and dying civilians than shooters or terrorists.
So, /k/, are you willing to step toward the fire, and help your fellow countryman? Or are you a beta coward?
I'm a beta coward, next thread
>>27902674
ATF here, tell me bout yourself.
