  5. Alone in the Wilderness

    in Pics and Vids

    I think this is really amazing.

    For more than 30 years a man by the name of Dick Proenneke lived alone in the Alaskan Bush. His only neighbors were the wolves and grizzly bears and his only transportation was his canoe and a good set of legs. Through the years, Dick kept written journals of daily life at Twin Lakes but would also document much of his adventure on film with his 16 mms Bolex camera.

    Fusion posted this link up in another thread. I forgot all about it so I thought I'd post it here also.

    This one is nice because you can select all the states you have a CHL issued from and see what states will honor them.

  16. Considering 1st purchase, couple questions...

    Yeah, I just picked up my first two handguns this past year, 2010. I now have my CHL and carry when I feel comfortable doing it. I actually carried all the way to Florida. If you want to learn more, take the CHL class. I learned quite a bit when taking it. A lot of these questions you are asking are talked about.

    Question about the "plain view". I don't think it has to be in plain view anymore, correct?

    Question, if you have conceal carry licence, and you are on a motorcycle, how is that treated? can you keep your firearm hidden/concealed in a holster, just like you would in a car?

    from this website: http://www.ohioattorneygeneral.gov/ConcealedCarryBook the section Transporting in Motor Vehicle page 14 indicates "the plain sight provision has been removed from the law", Then, a few lines later, the guide states "motorcycles fall under the definition of motor vehicles. Thus the same requirements apply to licensees who carry a honadgun while on a motorcycle"

    The plain view deal was back when Ohio first adopted concealed carry. When you got into a car, you were supposed to keep the gun in plain view. This is where the buckeye tuck term comes from. People would simply tuck their tshirt in behind their guns while inside their cars. This was later realized to be stupid so they got rid of that rule. Now the gun can remain hidden inside a car.

    Motorcycles fall under motor vehicle so when in motor vehicle (or on a bike), you must have a CHL to carry a loaded handgun no matter how it is being carried. If you are OC'ing and get into a car, or on a bike, it is now considered concealed. While on a bike you can carry just as you would in a car, given you have a CHL.

    Hope that makes sense Scott.

    LTCF - license to carry firearm

    CC - Concealed Carry

    OC - Open Carry

    CCW - Concealed Carry Weapon

    Concealment - Hides you from the enemy

    Cover - Protects you from incoming fire

    Shot group, grouping or pattern - Design made on a surface by all the impacts of a series of shots fired under similar conditions. A tighter grouping is better.

    I had a member here email me a bunch of questions about shotguns. I'll try to cover some of it.

    Shotguns tyically fire a number of small pellets called shot or a single solid projectile called a slug. Many different operating mechanisms used including single barrel (one barrel), double barrel (two barrels) or combination barrel (one rifle and one shotgun barrel) , pump action (uses a hand grip pumped back and forth to eject spent round and chamber a new round. Most common) , bolt action (shooter grabs a handle on the bolt itself to eject and chamber round), lever action (uses a lever underneath trigger to eject and chamber), semi auto (a trigger pull will fire, eject and chamber new round) and full auto. (Keeping the trigger pulled will continue to fire rounds until the trigger is released.)

    There are many different sizes available. The most common are 12 and 20 gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the larger the round. .410 and 10 gauge are also used. Birdshot uses a large number of pellets for shooting birds or clay pigeons. Buckshot uses larger diameter pellets for larger game such as deer. Slugs are becoming more common for this use though. Bean bags or rubber slugs/bucksshot are used for riot and animal control.

    You can control the spread of your shot by using a choke. Chokes on are the end of the barrel, either crewed on or part of the barrel itself. Using a smaller choke will give a tighter shot group and using a larger choke or no choke will give a larger shot group. Your target will depend on if and what choke you use.

    Barrel lengths vary from 18.5in to 34in. Typically the closer the target, the shorter the barrel, 24-28in. Long range targets a 28 to 34in barrel would be used. For large, small game a 22 to 24in barrel is common. 18.5in is a common length for a home defense shotgun due to the close quarters in the home and the distance an intruder will tend to be. A single shotgun can be outfitted with many different barrels depending on the application.

    That's just a quick overview. There is a lot of information I didn't touch on but this should get you started.
