The Lounge / Last trick you learned?

I'm ready to get gnar with shit. I haven't rode in two weeks, I need to do something.

My early days of riding was simply riding off of tall shit and dropping to flat. After watching Banned 3, I need to fin da roof to ride off of into a grass bank.

Stop nibbling ledges and doing fast plant variations, and do something that could hurt me.

Get an AR-15. Seriously the best thing. Buy one lower (the only part that is legally "a gun") and you can swap everything else out. You can get a complete upper, basically 90% of a gun shipped to you UPS, cause it's just parts. You can have as many uppers as you want in different calibers and such. It's such a versatile platform.

I think I may go to the indoor shooting range soon and try one out.



$20 for 10 shots though... But it will be fun!

For Nevada laws do a quick google search.  You shouldn't need a permit to own a firearm in Nevada unless you want to carry concealed.  Read up to make sure.

http://www.nraila.org/GunLaws/
http://www.handgunlaw.us/states/nevada.pdf

As for a good weapon....there's a huge range of choices.  For home defense, a handgun or a shotgun.

For a rifle...do you want a powerful centerfire rifle or a less powerful rimfire?

If you can only afford one gun as of now and want to use it for everything, get a 5.56 AR-15 with a 16" barrel and collapsible stock.

If you narrow down your search from the choices mentioned above I'll help you with the details.

I'd like to spend no more than $500 on my first weapon.

I see these billboards all the time while taking the I-15 into Vegas for this place that has guns, and a indoor shooting range. I really want to go there and test some out.

http://www.thegunstorelasvegas.com/ heres the link to that place.

Lets get the ball rolling.

I still don't know what i'd want more. I'm not really a fan of hunting, unless I'm going to eat what I kill. Our property borders like a 30,000 acres Wild Life refuge (our property IS a bird refuge, but a private one with no hunting) and it allows hunting of birds and what not.

A hand gun, maybe. But some sort of semi-automatic, "zombie killing" type gun may be the most fun for me.

Not quite sure yet.


EDIT: While I was back home in Indiana, a friend's room mate showed me his Russian AK-47 that was pretty awesome looking. I've been kind of wanting a gun for awhile already, but then he made the interest larger.

you shouldnt need a CCW to carry whatever you want on your own property.  It depends on your state if you need a gun permit, you dont need any permit or anything here in ol Virginia, you just go to the gun store, get your name run through the system, and then you get your gun.

Get a 12 gauge for home protection.  Dont use a rifle man, that shit goes through walls, not what you want at all with roommates.  Plus, your first instinct should be to get him out of there, not snipe him.  The sound of a shotgun cocking will deter most robbers, they want nothing of that.  And you shouldnt blast someone for stealing either, only if you were being attacked or they were armed.  For a rifle, something like a 30-30 would be perfect for most game.  Varmint, a .223 like birdmang said or alot of people are even using these .17 varmint rifles. http://www.gunsandammomag.com/cs/Satellite/IMO_GA/Story_C/Ruger+K77%252F17+Varmint.

I was more or less kidding about killing someone if I heard them stealing, but I would like one for home protection.

I'll read up on what is needed here in good ol' Nevada.

Guys, i've been wanting a gun for some time now.

I need to start off by becoming a resident of Nevada, right?
Then getting my permit?
Then getting a gun?

What else is there to do?

What would be a good weapon to get? I would like something that isn't too costly, accurate, a all around good "If I hear glass break, then footsteps in my house, someone is going to get shot in the belly" type gun.

I would like once nice hand gun, and one nice rifle of some sorts. A hand gun first, then a rifle. The rifle could be used for hunting, but also for the same reason as above.

Also because when we have an economic collapse, and people start parading our property to steal our fresh food source and to steal our clean water stored, i'll be popping them off left and right composting the bodies to enrich our soil.

where is it lul

So, when working with dirt that is, I don't know... like, 80%+ sand, what is needed to produce adequate trails?

These are just for me, not for the public so just as long as I can flow through them, I will be happy.

Future site of trails:


Just a large open field. Normally water never gets to where its at, we were irrigating the orchards and filled a pond that borders it a little high, and some water went into the overflow, and into a not-so-defined overgrown ditch in that field that is supposed to direct elsewhere. So, there won't be standing water (and its all be soaked up already) during construction.

I know I haven't filled my quota, I upgraded to Premium and I still can't upload files.

It just simply tells me, "Uploading of file: whatever.jpg has failed" or something.

Eh?
