/k/ommandos, I am going to be backcountry camping in a national park in a few months. Estimated 35 mile hike to where a buddy and I will be staying. It's brown bear country on top of mountain lion/black bear.

I'm not trying to make this into a caliber debate or anything like that to preface this. Just looking for advice from people that are regularly in bear country. I have done a bit of research and people say 45-70 is the go to brown bear caliber. I could pick up a Marlin guide rifle for around $450. I have also heard that a lot of guides in Alaska carry a 12 gauge. I have multiple but the one I would bring is a 2002 Remington 870. I hear the go-to is a Brenneke black mag slug. I am definitely well versed in firing slugs but I have never shot 45-70.

As for my sidearm. I don't have a 10mm or a revolver of a capable caliber. If I were to get one, what would you suggest? I would prefer not to spend over $500 on a backup gun I will never have to use.

All advice/stories/info is appreciated. And before a bunch of people sperg out about bear spray, we will both have it on us at all times.

So my FOID card was approved, but not received yet. So while I wait, I have two questions:

Good first pistol? What does a brand new pistol come with? I'm hoping a case, a manual, and a trigger lock.

What supplies would I need? Cleaning stuff, tools, Ear/Eye pro, that kind of stuff

Rules: treat it as if its loaded, dont flag/sweep people, what else?

Last time I fired a gun I was a teenager. .20ga shotgun and .22lr bolt action. Looking for ways to get up to speed.

Hey boys, curious faggot here. I was rummaging around an old bookstore/antique shop when I stumbled across this beauty in a cardboard box behind a life-size startrek cutout of Spock. I asked the part time owner what it was and he had no idea. Being a weapons/military scrub i decided to ask yall what it was. Any guesses?

Why are governments so stupid in trying to ban guns?

If you were getting a combat shotgun would you rather get a pump or a semi-auto?

Assume you will be out in the field and the gun will get dirty and you won't always have a chance to perfectly break it down.

In light of the events today, what company sells a good, NJ legal, forged receiver FAL? Or am I stuck buying an AR?


By NJ legal I mean it can't have the letters "FAL" or "SLR" in a row on the receiver. Other than that you just can't have a flash hider

Due to the recent riots, and escalating race tensions, I am looking to buy my first handgun. I've been putting it off until now. I want a small, concealable pistol that still packs a lot of punch. I want something relatively easy to clean and maintain because I'm a noob. What should I get? I'm not a TOTAL noob. I like shooting, and I'm a pretty good shot, but I usually just rent a gun when I go to the range, and I think it's about time I buy one for myself. Any recommendations?
