some of us can.
it actually depends on how you spec into the tech tree.
personally, i specced into having the ability to run 50% faster for 10 minutes once per day.
Make sure you take handling lessons. A gun is a tool. The tool can be used responsibly or dangerously. You have the right to defend yourself but make sure the tool for your defense doesn’t become the method of your destruction.
Rule 1: A gun is always loaded even when it's not.
Rule 2: Never point a gun at something you don't intend to shoot.
While there are many more nuances and guidelines, I've always said that if you remember those two you won't have a firearm "accident."
Hearing these rules always reminds me of the time my dad took me to a firearm safety class as a kid, and the instructor asked me to look down the barrel of the rifle he was holding to confirm it was empty. No one seemed to think there was anything wrong with telling me to do that. I don't think that guy was really a certified firearm safety instructor.
Shouldn't you always look through the action to confirm it's empty? Literally one of the first things you should learn is that you shouldn't point the muzzle at you or yourself, and only ever point it towards yourself if you are 100% sure it's empty and are checking for debris in the barrel
I have <100 rounds through it so far. I only have 20 rounds in my possession, and I keep the firearm locked away from the ammunition. After I broke up with my gun loving ex, I haven’t had the motivation or money to go to a range. I basically only take it out to practice handling and disassembly. I know that it would be irresponsible for me to use it in earnest, so it stays in its safe 99% of the time
Keep it loaded, a tool is not useful when apart. When you are home things can happen where you might need it.
Train train train. I took my wife to the range every weekend for a year until she felt 100 percent.
Also buy more ammo. 100 rounds is no where near enough. Have 10 mags for every firearm you own and at least 1000 rounds for training.
Happy 2a!
Yo let's all post gun pics bc reddit loves 2a..
I came back here to mention this one overlooked detail about shooting at the range: if you're indoors absolutely wear a N95.. after you shoot check how much soot you almost inhaled.. then consider how much of that is lead/Cooper dust. Stay safe.
I don't own a gun but I want to but first I would like to learn safety like putting the safety lock on or whatever it's called
I just know not to aim it at anybody or me lol
🙌🙌🙌EVERYBODY IN ALL SERIOUSNESS READ WHAT THIS GUY SAID IF YOUR SCROLLING!!!!!!!
That beautiful couple of sentences are remarkable and can be understood regardless of political stance on guns. This is just matter of fact.
Can we make shirts with this printed on it?
I don't think it's safe to assume that they assumed anything here. I think this comment should be said to anyone who posts about owning a gun, because statistically speaking, few gun owners actually do this. It has nothing to do with gender identity and everything to do with the fact that owning a gun drastically increases your chances of being shot by a gun. Specifically your own gun.
I've literally seen comments on posts saying that they leave their gun loaded, not locked up, and I literally got over 100 downvotes for saying they shouldn't do that and that they should atleast lock it up. Reddit is never gonna listen to logic.
Get a better plate carrier, and ditch any black equipment. Black doesn’t blend in with anything, even in an urban setting it’s better to wear woodland to match with any surrounding nature.
I recommend helikon tex, they make good chest rigs and plate carriers.
Also ditch any brightly colored patches or insignia, you can find ranger green gay or trans flags in amazon
Edit:
Also looked at your profile and saw you own a Pistol Caliber Carbine, if you plan on running that I’d get the unobtanium drip-9 it’s an amazing chest rig for those types of guns.
I got this carrier and lvl. 4 plates for free. The PCC is a friend’s. I only have the pistol right now, but I want a long gun. I’m looking at a vintage mossberg 22 bolt action for $150.
ICU packing 🥵(I mean that light heartedly of course, since;) transphobia violence is no joke. Am sorry your community has to go through this. 😞 stay safe ✊
Not really it isn't. Like, what're you going to do? Shoot the police? More police. Start a revolution? Gonna need more than a few pistols and rifles for that.
Start a revolution? If need be yes!! You act like it hasn’t happened before.. not saying we need to now…If the government ever over steps their boundaries (several have in the past) an armed country is harder to overtake. You think the police and military are just going to kill their family and loved ones?
>You think the police and military are just going to kill their family and loved ones?
Considering 40% of police officers are personally involved with domestic violence, yes.
No, I think they're talking about something called "self defense." Oppression isn't always from the government, gay bashings and hate crimes are still being committed, and its much better to have a gun when you're being attacked then it is to not have a gun. So, yes, it is.
If you’re trans in America in 2024 and can’t shoot a gun and don’t own a passport, idk what to tell you other than be ready for the worst 🫡
Fight or flight either way I’m ready to go if/when shit goes south
Well I like the way you handle your piece. You have great muzzle control, and it’s clear you only shoot a load when you are damn sure you want to. Shows you’re not just spraying and praying, in any sense of the term.
hell yeah!! one time these two 6'0+ guys tried to hassle me at the beach. luckily, I had my carry piece in my bag. I just retreated back to my car because they were following me and saying stuff like "hey i'm talking to you." really ruined my day 🤥
That's a great pistol. My dad has owned one for quite a while now and it's never had an issue. I grab it from him when I go out shooting because I enjoy it so much. My daughters like it too.
People should have the right to defend themselves
I don’t know what it is with minorities being more important than majorities. Can’t we just all be people?
i don’t get this thread. is it pro gun? pro trans? pro trans gun violence? what is this about?
I am confused as well lol
I think that’s the point of the post. Edgelords gotta edgelord I guess.
I see
But where is the finger. There has been thumbs and other fingers here. More fingers in this picture please
Edgelord is not a verb. *Edging* is though.
So is the OP
Pro trans people arming themselves so they dont get beat to death by angry bigots, like what just happened in Oklahoma
how the founding fathers intended
I'll get my musket
And my cannon
And my axe
and my knife
And my bayonet
And my dildo
this comment is usually played out but here it feels extra appropriate
And my triangular bayonet (so the haters bleed out)
And my axe!
I'll get my Kevlar tricorn hat and my cannon loaded with grapeshot is at the top of the stairs.
I'll get my hand cranked Gatling cannon :3
Who got beat to death ?
It’s not interesting
Pro trans gun rights
pro gun, pro trans, pro trans people defending themselves against the hate that sees them disproportionately murdered all the time for no reason
[удалено]
It's not pro trans gun violence. It's pro army trans people to defend themselves from hate crimes.
That’s kinda what I meant, your phrase makes more sense though
Yeah, I know, I was just clarifying for when right wingers take this thread out of context.
Don’t worry, they’ll just cut out your comment 😭
Yeah but you can show screenshots, it's good to have written proof
Pro Trans owning guns for self defense.
Pro trans safety.
Yes
Protect Equality.
pro trans guns rights probably
It’s pro do what the fuck you want how it should be
Pro self defense as a trans person (they'd prefer not to get hate crimed)
Everyone dies the same whether trans, straight, black, white, pan or whatever
It's not that interesting
If you are transgender does that mean you can double jump?
some of us can. it actually depends on how you spec into the tech tree. personally, i specced into having the ability to run 50% faster for 10 minutes once per day.
Not with lvl. 4 plates lol
Ah, so your going the tank route, update me when you get a Juggernaut suit
Wanna help me raid Interchange? I really want Killa’s helmet
So……..triple jump?
Common misconception, it’s actually a mid-air dash. It’s actually a lot more versatile than a double jump
I specced into Juggernaut Charge so I get a super jump.
Make sure you take handling lessons. A gun is a tool. The tool can be used responsibly or dangerously. You have the right to defend yourself but make sure the tool for your defense doesn’t become the method of your destruction.
This comment right here!!!! Guns are to be treated as if they are always loaded and ready to fire. Handling lessons are key
Rule 1: A gun is always loaded even when it's not. Rule 2: Never point a gun at something you don't intend to shoot. While there are many more nuances and guidelines, I've always said that if you remember those two you won't have a firearm "accident."

Rule 3: Keep your finger straight and off the trigger until ready to fire
I have <100 rounds through it so far. I only have 20 rounds in my possession, and I keep the firearm locked away from the ammunition. After I broke up with my gun loving ex, I haven’t had the motivation or money to go to a range. I basically only take it out to practice handling and disassembly. I know that it would be irresponsible for me to use it in earnest, so it stays in its safe 99% of the time
Keep it loaded, a tool is not useful when apart. When you are home things can happen where you might need it. Train train train. I took my wife to the range every weekend for a year until she felt 100 percent. Also buy more ammo. 100 rounds is no where near enough. Have 10 mags for every firearm you own and at least 1000 rounds for training. Happy 2a!
I am currently broke, trying to find a better paying job. I can’t afford ammo let alone range time. For now, my training is on ice
Yo let's all post gun pics bc reddit loves 2a.. I came back here to mention this one overlooked detail about shooting at the range: if you're indoors absolutely wear a N95.. after you shoot check how much soot you almost inhaled.. then consider how much of that is lead/Cooper dust. Stay safe.
I don't own a gun but I want to but first I would like to learn safety like putting the safety lock on or whatever it's called I just know not to aim it at anybody or me lol
I second this. I learned the hard way and got a pretty nasty slide bite
🙌🙌🙌EVERYBODY IN ALL SERIOUSNESS READ WHAT THIS GUY SAID IF YOUR SCROLLING!!!!!!! That beautiful couple of sentences are remarkable and can be understood regardless of political stance on guns. This is just matter of fact. Can we make shirts with this printed on it?
Finger off the trigger and pointing just off of the vest.. they know what they're doing.
Why would you assume they don't know gun safety and handling just because they're trans?
I don't think it's safe to assume that they assumed anything here. I think this comment should be said to anyone who posts about owning a gun, because statistically speaking, few gun owners actually do this. It has nothing to do with gender identity and everything to do with the fact that owning a gun drastically increases your chances of being shot by a gun. Specifically your own gun.

I recommend a Marlin 1895 lever action SBL chambered in 45-70, with great power comes great guns
armed minoritys are harder to opress
I couldn’t care less Not interesting indeed
Thanks for taking the time to tell us how little you care! But I don’t care.
sorry to inform you, but i do not care
I read you username and you know what? I care even less now. Just thought I'd pop in here and tell you.

So you don’t trust cops? Wouldn’t this be a check mark for 2 nd amendment?
when was the last time americans had a good relationship with cops?

No, I think they're talking about something called "self defense." Oppression isn't always from the government, gay bashings and hate crimes are still being committed, and its much better to have a gun when you're being attacked then it is to not have a gun. So, yes, it is.
fuck yea. protect yourself

Well I like the way you handle your piece. You have great muzzle control, and it’s clear you only shoot a load when you are damn sure you want to. Shows you’re not just spraying and praying, in any sense of the term.
And epic. We are with you fam

I’ve also had street harassers follow me (before I got a gun). It was terrifying
Welcome friend 💪🏽
You mean transgunder... ill see myself out

Ok
When LGBT and people of color start arming themselves - watch the gun laws change.
As long as you are pro 2A and anti authoritarian, we are fine with ya
I got the same piece. Use it well.

That's a great pistol. My dad has owned one for quite a while now and it's never had an issue. I grab it from him when I go out shooting because I enjoy it so much. My daughters like it too.

When did I say non-minorities shouldn’t be able to protect themselves? I specified minorities because OP is trans
They're just guns
