Another Common Sense Gun Law from Texas

[jclalor 12]

Is it not a good idea if firearms are being used, that people in the general area of the shooting should know?

I mean it's not like people just hiking are killed every year by hunters.

How many are killed every year?

If you hear the report of the firearm the shooter was probably not aiming at you. You never hear the one that gets you.

If you hear the snap of the bullet as it goes by, take cover. The shooter is probably aiming at you. Draw your personal weapon and assume a tactical defense posture.

As a general rule, the woods are safe. Be wary in the inner city or anyplace where people are tattooed and/or wear hoodies.

Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

So you think suppressor's are a fine idea for hunters?

Talk about never hearing the one that got you.

Tattoos? your wary of the vast majortiy of your fellow jumpers?

As a rule, I also avoid people that assault police officers, use racial epithets, and abuse members of the oppisite sex..

Holy cra*! An *untrained* ear will be able to identify that *snap* as a bullet snap???

If there is a somewhat metallical snap close to you, you immediately "Draw your personal weapon and assume a tactical defense posture"? And recommend that for others?

Thanks God you posted that. Now I know your entire post was a giant joke [wiping dry my forehead]

I am jerking your chain a little because it is obvious you lack understanding concerning hunters, weapons, hunting strategies and hiking in nature in general.

I am fairly good at reading gang ink compared to decorative body art.

Concerning your last statement, how do you profile those offenders?

Yes
I think suppressor's would be ok.

But if you think they work like you see in movies and tv you have a big misconception

There are some shooting ranges, in states were suppressor's are legal (Iowa is not one of them) that require suppressors on some calibers of weapons just to keep the noise down to be nice to other shooters and the neighbors

The idea is that if a bullet travels faster than the speed of sound, it could kill you before you hear the shot.

Whoooosh, dear

I asked "How do you know?"

How can he know?? How *can* he know that's the one that got *him*, hmmmm ?? It was more or less a joke.

BTW, perhaps you did not know: I am a legally licensed hunter since more than 20 yrs and know those sounds.

OTOH, there are few people who never had an ear close enough to a weapon shot do discover *that* noise. Right?

I suppose one could take an educated guess...Do you think dead people can hear gunshots?

I'd say, no. That's just my wild guss.

But, exactly how does RonD1120 know it?

He's still with us, I hope?

Is there anything you won't try and start an argument about? Anything at all?

[Andy9o8 3]

I applaud this effort to preserve and protect the time-honored tradition of firing kill-shots from grassy knolls in Texas without being detected.

I am having some difficulty catching your drift. Therefore, I am lurking.

BTW, I have been told that there is nothing in life more exhilarating than to be shot at without result.

I don't see a problem with suppressors. Yet, I do like to hear the sound of a gun shot. Especially if I'm hunting with someone else. My first thought is that 'maybe he got one'!
Also, if a tree falls in the forest and noone is around... does it still make a sound?

Yo, Yo ma brother...

My favoritist hunting rifle sound comes from that of the British Enfield No.5 Mk1 jungle carbine chambered in .308....

All me buddies had other types of rifles and when I shot mine, they later said, they had a "What the fuck was that" moment? See pic.

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

[skybill 22]

Hi B-G,
'Usta' have a #5 Carbine like yours but it was chambered in Brit .303. Did you have yours "Bored out" for .308?? Traded it off some years ago for $$ to finance my Stiletto 170.

That'll do it! Having not heard your Enfield, my favorite is the sound my Remington - 721, .30-06 makes. I've had hunting buddies tell me; 'Tone that son of a bitch down! Dayum!'
Guns are cool!
edit to add... one of those guys shoots a 300-mag! I'm just shooting standard loads with 180-gtain bullets.

Don't silencers reduce the effective range of a weapon? Why would you use one while hunting?

23 states currently allow hunting with suppressors, and I haven't heard of a problem yet.

If hikers are worried about it, they should stay out of public hunting areas during hunting season. Even if they have not heard a gunshot yet, that doesn't mean that the woods are free of hunters. And the hunters, of course, should certainly do their part by being sure of the identity of their target, regardless of whether or not they have a silencer.

Because of the hassles of owning a silencer under federal law, very few people are probably doing this already, and I doubt if many more will take advantage of a new law allowing it for hunting. They can already do what they want, without a silencer. I don't think the woods will suddenly be filled with thousands of silent ninja assassins.

The gun-o-phobes are funny. They complain that guns make too much noise and want to ban them because of that. And now they're complaining that they won't make enough noise, and want to ban that. So for them this isn't really about the noise guns make - it's about opposing anything related to firearm freedoms, no matter what, even if there is no logical basis for it. Lions and tigers and silencers, oh my!

[masterrig 1]

#1!!!

I don't like the attitude of people who don't like something, it should be banned. That's a crock! If, you don't like what's on tv... change the channel. Trying to deny something that some people enjoy and is protected by the Constitution, is absolutely wrong. If, you don't like guns... stay away from them. Just like anything else.

Well said, Chuck. And the same thing applies to the 'Texas bashers'. If they don't like the way we do things in the Republic of Texas, don't come down here. Texas first!
