alright /k/ im sure you'll all bust my balls but im buying my first sidearm and need advice and dont really have anywhere else to get it. first of all i live in Pennsylvania so the laws are kinda loose. im looking for a simple handgun.
i like revolvers because they are strong, simple, and dont jam so they seem like a good first gun.
but im worried about my lack of skills.
is there a handgun you would recommend for a beginner?

I know this sounds like a canned answer, but most handguns these days are pretty good (sig, beretta, glock, hk, etc). It's all about personal preference, how it feels in your hand etc. Go to a range and rent a couple of guns and see which you like best. I'm not a huge revolver guy, but you're right that they're durable and don't jam much, but I would still recommend a semi-auto.
>>
>>28435321
>revolvers
>dont jam
Yes, they do.
For semi-autos look for a 9mm in the $550 range. That covers GLOCKs, CZ, the XD series, the M&P series, etc. Everything in that price range is pretty good and what you get will boil down to personal preference.
For revolvers look at Ruger's SP101 and GP100, or S&W's 686 and k-frames or l-frames or whatever they're smaller stuff is.

I said don't jam MUCH, champ. In terms of jamming, revolvers jam less frequency. I would definitely go 9mm though. I prefer the Beretta 92fs

>I really want the russian rifle and I want to add the russian scope to it but I can't because of the 922r
Goddamnit I'm literally fucking stressed out from the fact that the VEPR rifles have more than ten factory parts in the rifle and I hate it more that I have to replace the parts with none foreign parts just to make it a legal gun here in this country.
Fucking goddamnit I just want the gun and the russian optic but I can't because the gun literally has more parts in it that needs them to make it work properly but the law makes it immediately not a legal gun since it is over the ten foreign part limit.
Fuck I'm fixing to have a heart attack from my stress level over this how the fuck am I supposed to get this gun and enjoy shooting it without being force to cram US parts in the gun and take out the russian parts that came with it because of a goddamn 922r!

First off, nobody in the history of the world has ever been charged solely on a 922r violation, it's mostly something to string onto other charges
Second, can they prove that the parts are foreign made?
>>
>>28435076
I don't think you understand how 922 works. If you modify it from its original form, THEN you have to have a certain number of parts be US made. But if you don't modify it at all, it's fine. And the pic you posted if from Atlantic, so obviously its already legal.

Does anyone here on /k/ have any opinions on a good footlocker? I recently moved in with my girlfriend and her shit dominates everything in the apartment with clothes, cosmetics, etc etc. I don't even have room to put my own shit in the closet, she literally has 37 pairs of shoes.
Anyway I need my own personal space just so i can separate my shit from hers and it doesn't get destroyed with cat puke and make up and I was thinking a nice footlocker would fit the bill. I just need something to store an AK sidefolder, my handgun, 100 cartridge .50 cal ammo can and some literature / personal documents.
What do you guys think would fit this bill? In terms of size and whatever opinions you all might have for quality. Thanks /k/
Also would plastic be better than say wood or some other material?

Today I went to take a UA test for my new employer. When I got there the new nurse lady told me to remove all items in pockets and jacket and place them in this cubby that locks. I realized I had my ccw and extra mags in my pocket (g19) and I asked her if I may place my belongings in my car so I ran out to my car to drop off my gat. As I returned there was another nurse telling me that wasn't allowed, and that my first nurse is new and she's in training and didn't know that I wasn't supposed to leave because that looked suspicious.
I told her it's because of my firearms and she said "yea just as I suspected, you should've left it on, you're totally allowed to carry your gun, it's your constitutional right, next time please just leave it on and inform us, I'll let this one slide but please keep your gun on you next time".
TLDR; My nurse grilled me for not carrying in her clinic.
With all our soldiers getting body armor, how is it that any of them are dying? Legit question, especially with the coverage they're giving these days. Are they all getting shot in the face or are they bleeding out from minor wounds?

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to ARs, but I've decided to do a build starting with an 80% lower. If I purchased one, could I just take it to my local gunsmith and have him finish the milling and drilling? I heard they passed some legislation on this recently, but I'm pretty fuzzy on the details. Also how much would this cost?

I read something like this, however, it looked like to me you could do it, but they would have to do the normal forums and shit as if it was a firearms purchase, but i may be wrong.

no

How do people (excluding machinists) usually finish an 80% lower then?

I currently have a G19 and P226 Mk25 I switch between for everyday carry. I find myself carrying the G19 90% of the time. I was thinking of selling the P226 and getting pic related USP Compact in 9mm.
Solid plan or shit plan?

Well, /k/, America's xenophobia has finally gone too far. I married an Australian, and after a long drawn out legal battle, it seems there's a good chance we'll have to go back to Australia. I love this country, but I love my wife more. Immigration has gotten all but impossible unless you just do it illegally it seems.
Australia has a lot going for it, at least. But the police are appallingly incompetent, the assault rates are higher, and of course- it's a no-guns country. Coming from the Arkansas region, this is unacceptable. Fortunately, there are loopholes. Hopefully you can help me find all of them.
I'm not tied to any specific profession or location. I can become the bunny-reaper if that lets me open carry. I can also live in any location if that makes a difference, though Queensland would be preferred.
What does /k/ recommend?
