What are the requirements these days to buy an assault rifle?

I only recently moved back to NC and discovered the laws are significantly different with respect to handguns versus long guns (rifles & shotguns).

So, until escrow closes on the house we bought and I get settled into the new digs, mine will stay locked up and secure in Virginia.

Why that?

Why that?

 

I had my gun safe mounted in a wall inside a closet and in my temporary rental I really have nowhere to put it. So I was able to leave it with the police range where I moved from. Soon as I get moved again, I can go get it.

 

By the way, this is what I have for home defense. It's something my wife can easily handle, and we tried out several types and styles of firearms before deciding on this Benelli M3 Tactical Convertible semi-auto 12-guage.

They make an M2 and an M4 model as well. This one ran me about $1600, or about the same as 2 of our 3 pistols. She is very comfortable with this and handles it very well, which was the primary factor. Once we're moved in permanently, we'll get everything taken care of for NC because she likes to carry her H&K P30 9mm. I have a Sig Sauer P229 9mm and an older Beretta 92S 9mm that I've had for years and had a slightly oversized grip set put on because my hands are pretty big. The Beretta feels great and I really enjoy shooting it.

Makes sense.

 

Check my earlier post, I added some info on the shotgun we bought for the house. My wife isn't petite, she's pretty much a jock, but rifles intimidated the crap outta her until I stepped away from the whole thing and let a cop friend of ours teach her how to use, handle, etc. Then, at his suggestion, we started looking at the pistol grip model shotguns.

 

The important factor is for the person who will be using it to feel like they have complete control of the weapon in their hands. If it's the least bit uncomfortable or it feels heavy or they're just afraid of it "getting away from them" they'll never step up to use it. It's kinda like baseball when we were kids- put the right size and weight of bat in the kids hands so they feel like they get the most out of it. For me, as soon as the wife had the added feeling of control that comes with the pistol grip, it was a done deal.

 

With home security, it's all about point and shoot. There's no time to screw around trying to get a gun up to your shoulder and take aim. And there's no sound as intimidating as a pump racking a round on a shotgun.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Roger all that. Do you think BY avoided any sacks last game? This oline is not what you're touting them to be. They are much better then 2023! Much much much better than 2023. But come on now, you'd expect this expensive oline (most are run blocking specialist) to at least dominate in the run game every game.  And... I keep telling you our WRs and TEs are not that good yet. I mean last Sunday was a prime example. Our receiving targets never make plays like those. Never. And this is from one of the worst teams in the league. Shough could have easily had 3 INTs if not for his receivers making plays on the ball. Our guys just don't do that. XL almost allowed an INT backing up out of bounds instead of coming to the ball. And everyone would have blamed that on BY. That's why he doesn't throw to that dude. I can't recall a game except maybe the second Falcons game - maybe, where I thought our receivers could possibly be better than the other team's. I think TMac and Coker have a lot of potential. But they're aren't consistent. But they're young and WILL improve. I'm confident of that.  I don't agree that BY was drafted to only stand in the pocket. He has always been best off schedule - for better or worse.

      Do you think you will get a direct answer?  Icky giving up 5 pressures (playing hurt in his defense) by himself and Bryce only getting sacked once tells you he played well in the pocket.  He extended plays and converted some tough downs.

      What gets this team past this?

      By frankw · Posted

      I've been very apprehensive about potentially firing yet another head coach. But Canales needs to focus on being a head coach first and foremost and begin handing off some responsibilities like playcalling duties and begin overseeing the entire team or we need to assess all possible ideal HC candidates in the offseason.
