My idea of tough survival is getting a waitress to bring my steak sandwich at the local tavern. Nowadays if the critters stay in the woods and off the roads, they're safe from this shooter. Well ... most of the time.
a lot of the stuff he does is last-ditch type crap, where it's either risk dying or actually die. a knowledgeable survivor is hard-pressed to get put into many of the situations he has been.
I know what you mean. Common sense says go around a lion's den even if through is the more exciting route. Who is going to trek through barren terrain for a week just for the jollies?
To me that show is a joke, sure he puts himself in dangerous situations but they are all rehearsed. Myself, I have had a carry permit since 1983 and never go unarmed, anywhere!
Okay. Survivorman is out there, but look at who is out there with him. He's not doing the camera work himself. If survivorman starts to die of thirst or hunger, will cameraman spot him some food and drink? The show is more about what could happen than what is really happening. LOL We were discussing surviving in the wild, not the hood. I don't think I ever saw Survivorman carry a gun. Maybe the cameraman had one.
in survivorman, they drop Les Stroud wherever...he packs the cameras himself and does all his own crap. no camera team, like on Man Vs. Wild. *edit* there was an episode where he was given a gun, but not allowed to shoot any animals. he would up splitting some bullets and using the gunpowder to start a fire.
yeah,canada has a gun registry.funny thing is if i want an illegal handgun i can get one within about 24 hours.so what good did the billion we spent do? absolutely squat.all it did was make honest gun owners register their guns.criminals,well that is another billion or so.
LOL You got a hood, it's just got more trees and critters than the city environment. Yes it's a gun thread and we're glad to see another supporter of gun rights. We were just off topic for a while discussing survival methods and Survivorman. Being out in the country, you need a hunting license more than concealed carry. Still, I'm like you, I prefer having a handgun close by for personal protection. According to the rules, if your assailant changed his mind and gets away from you, you're not allowed to shoot him.
Well I'm not 21 yet, but as soon as I do turn 21 I'm getting a concealed weapons permit. Unless the navy lets you get one before, then I'll get one before lol.
If the mini 30 is yours, I wouldn't waste the money. Basically the same type weapon and the .30 cal (7.62x39mm) is heavier than the .223. Like I mentioned before, stocks and clips give the mini an assault rifle appearance. Should be lots of AR-15s available, Colt made enough of them. The older models are a bit more rare due to configurations that were later outlawed. Personally I'd rather have an accurized match grade M1 Garand (like those from Springfield Armory).
Off base enlisted personnel are under civilian jurisdiction when it comes to personal concealed carry. On base you would have to have a job requiring the need for a concealed weapon.
