Bed side gun ! Watcha Got

I do …. He’s 15. I have nieces and nephews that are always here that play hide n seek. I don’t want to take that risk that one of them will get their hands on it.

 

Got pics of the M4

 

Jumped on this little gizmo on Prime Day.

 

WhoooWeee!

 

Or alcohol

That makes perfect sense.
If I were in the same position I'd do the same.
Dont remember if I mentioned this but my Brothers ex Wife had two kids that were raised in a household that didnt have guns.
They were from Minnesota.
She was Shitting Bricks when She found out I'd taken them shooting at our weekend place.
The way I look at it is it's better to expose them firearms under controlled circumstances than let them discover firearms in a less controlled atmosphere.
Here in Texas it's going to happen eventually so I figured it was better to teach them about firearm safety now than let them come across them with no safety training.
In my mind it was crazy that She thought otherwise.

 

While I hate to admit it shooting guns with a slight alcohol buzz is WAY better than shooting completely sober!!!
Of course when you've had the rules pounded in your head since you were five the risk is minimal.
Nothing better than shooting a pile of tannerite with a little Buzz!!!
We found all kinds of inventive ways of shooting tannerite just to make it more interesting!!
Like stuffing a Watermelon with the Stuff!!!
Or a Pork Butt!!
We used to float it out on the lake and shoot it!!
It sent up a huge column of Water!!
And you'd occasionally kill a few fish.

 

P365 with light immediately on the bed side to assist in getting the 3ft further to grab the AR

 

Nice!!

 

And black is just boring, especially with an AR-15 where they look the same as all other 30 million out there

 

I'm not talking about getting hammered and shooting.
Just a few beers.
We know when it's time to put away the guns because we all know shit happens when you drink to excess.
Guns or no guns.
And with gun safety being hammered into your head since your first BB Gun it becomes automatic.
I've taken people shooting with zero experience with firearms,those are the people you need to worry about.
They'll casually paint you when turning around even though you've told them the rules repeatedly.
We even have a table set up and tell them when you stop shooting you immediately place the gun on the table after engaging the safety.
And the firearm should be pointed down range at all times.

And you have to remember.
This is way out in the boonies so there's not likely to be anyone around.
And we shoot into a large berm for the most part.

 

Amen.

 

My bedside gun is my edc gun, Ruger Speed-Six .357mag.

 

Likewise.

 

Dont know about Y'all but two beers with lunch is hardly going to make me intoxicated.
Hell,you can pass a breathalyzer after drinking two beers.
So if the Police are fine with you driving after a couple beers I dont see the issue.
And again,with firearm safety pounded into your head since you were a little kid two beers isnt going to make you reckless.
Would I shoot after a six pack?
Of course not!!
And again two beers are not going to affect your judgement or coordination.
Unless of course you weigh 40 lbs.

 

Not altogether true. Depends on a few factors like weight, height, chemical makeup. I knew a Navy Seal who drank 1 beer and and was borderline 3 sheets to the wind. He is 6'6", well build and had the weight of a defensive end. During the time I associated with him, he had been involved in multiple rear end accidents (his fault). I wouldn't trust him with a weapon after 1 or more beers at any time. There are many more people like him that can't hold their liquor. If you can still function after 2 beers w/o making any costly mistakes, then hats off to you. By the way, you don't have to fail a breathalyzer test to get arrested. It can be any amount of liquor reading on the breathalyzer if the arresting officer can show you were in fact affected by the amount consumed. Although not the usual way things go, unless you were involved in an accident, or any other incident to show cause, etc.

 

As I mentioned weight has a lot to do with it as does tolerance.
While a breathalyzer tests the amount of alcohol in your system it doesnt test tolerance.
You may have two people that weigh the same some are more tolerant than others.
And some process alcohol at faster rates.
If you get arrested and blow below the legal limit any halfway decent lawyer will get you off.
Of course if you're stumbling around and blow below the limit they'll suspect you have something else in your system.
And you can refuse a breathalyzer test as well as blood tests,which lawyers recommend.
While you may spend the night in jail thats going to happen anyway whether you blow or not.

 

Yes a decent lawyer can get you off. But, depending on circumstances may only be able to get it kicked down to a reckless. In Ca, a DUI stays on your record for 10 yrs and a reckless for 7. But after completing your probation, an individual can petition for expungement and if successful, could tell a future employer no to a criminal conviction, however will not remove the DUI from the driving record or prevent it from being used in future legal matters. And of course can be very costly. Shooting clubs that have an attached restaurant and bar, will prevent you from entering the range for 48hrs once you enter the bar/restaurant if they want to remain in business.

 

In this day and age, I seriously don't see why any responsible person would choose to mix drinking and shooting. Just because you can do something doesn't mean it is a good idea. I don't care how alcohol-tolerant you are.
