Storytime of the bad kind.

>Swing by my parents house yesterday to visit and get advice on filling out my W2s since I have like 3 of the things.
>Teen sister in college lives there as well.
>Don't want to sit on my cc all night so I put it in my hipster bag, button bag closed, and leave in living room.
>Shooting the shit with mom and dad. They give me the usual stuff like "How's work?" "What are you up to?" "Are you eating enough?" "Come visit more"
>Sudden BANG.
>Everyone jumps.
>Quiet for about 2 seconds then bloodcurdling screaming.
>Everyone rushes in.
>In living room screaming is my sister, who is holding her hand that is GUSHING blood.
>Giant hole through her palm.
>On the floor is one casing and my pistol.
>Bag is open too.
>This bitch.
>Rush her to hospital.
>Emergency surgery done.
>After everything, doctors say she'll keep her hand, but lose use of her middle and ring finger. Recovery is going to take years.
>Insurance luckily keeps bill down.
>Sister won't say what she did, just repeats "I thought it wasn't loaded."
>Parents are suddenly angry that I own guns, despite being fine with it before.
>Bullshit. Sister is the one who opened my bag without my permission, touched my gun without permission, then pulled the trigger while holding the muzzle to her hand.
>Point this out.
>Both say "Well, this would not have happened if you didn't have it in the first place!"
>Repeat that this isn't my fault.
>"Enough! It would not have happened if you didn't have a gun! How is your sister going to get a job with one hand, Anon?!"
>Get pissed and storm out.
>Get a text from dad saying that I'm not welcome until I agree not to carry a gun at home anymore.
>Didn't bother to reply.

Fucking hell. How can things go downhill so fast? I wasn't in the wrong on this one, right? There's no way I could have seen this coming. Why do I have to choose between one of my rights and my family?

>prioritizing tactical rifle training classes over handgun courses when you aren't law enforcement or military
>LARPing as wannabe operators

Why do people spend thousands of dollars on these courses when they're never going to get into a shootout with their long gun? If you ever found yourself in an active shooter attack your CCW is what you'd be using to defend yourself, not your tacticool rifle and plate carrier. Even HD scenarios don't require that much training considering it's basic single-person room clearing that can be taught in 5 minutes

hey /potassium/ i come from /o/ i recently got into firearms and i fell in love with the browning hi-power, and since there are no gunshops worth a damn in my area i was hoping you guys could point a place online where i could purchase one and if there is a specific kind of hi-power i should go for, as i heard there were different versions.


TL;DR: need a website that sells browning hi-powers

Why does /k/ seem to hate Cold Steel knives so much? I had one once (gave it to a friend), and I never saw anything wrong with it.

So let's talk holsters.

When I see anything brought up about a drop-leg setup, it seems to commonly be met with criticism, derision, and condescension, even if it's someone using it with a legitimate "tactical" gear setup. So what's the deal with them, what are the pros and cons? Is it just mallninja garbage or is there real merit in certain outfits/situations?

Well I finally joined the mounted light master race. However I can't shake the feeling that I could have spent the money on ammo instead, oh well!

Greetings fu/k/tards.

I'm planning on going out to purchase a stripped lower this weekend. I'm completely green to the ar platform, having never even shot one. I was looking at psa parts kits and had a question.

Is there any reason to justify getting a carbine length gas system over a mid length? I personally just like the way they look. But I'm reading that they shoot snappier, run dirtier, and the mid length shoots softer.

What are your opinions on the matter? Which do you suggest I go with being an absolute noob to the platform?
