I've been watching this guy's videos recently. Fascinating:
Guns and stuff

By the way, if @mcmurtry66 posts any Southern Charm shit in here, mods should ban him for life.
He's a good watch as are some others and while I enjoy them, I can say I miss Paul Harrell.
Man Jerry using a .380 bodyguard in one of his videos and hitting that target from a football field away with some wind was amazing. I have a couple .380 bodyguards and that's absolutely amazing.
It really is. I have 9mm subcompacts up to 1911s. I can get a decent group with a 1911 at 50yds. With small handguns millimeters turn into inches really quick at distance.
Im building another AR 15 just because
I bought a few lowers back when they were $35

My carry is a Sig P229. Size and feel of a 1911, in .40 S&W.
My range toy is a Ruger 22/45 Tactical.
Also a Ruger Precision Rifle in .338 Lapua Magnum.
All three weapons purchased legally through a FFL holder, with accompanying Fed background checks.
Ammunition is a real key factor in range, accuracy, and stopping power.
Don't have any AR platforms. Or Glocks.
I don't own any guns (yet) but this guy gets into my algorithm from time to time. I enjoy his passion and delivery.
I don't begrudge any responsible gun owners, but the huge bore handguns are just dangerous toys, IMO.
I also enjoy hickok45. He shoots very well. The guy is about 6'8", and as in golf, the tall, long guys have challenges repeating their shooting routines. I also enjoy sniper101, but he takes a lot of guff online.
The best front line defense is a large, black Malinois who likes to sleep just inside the front door.
IMO, it's still the best option for hiking/fishing in Grizzly country, though.
At the end of the day, 80%+ of what I own are just dangerous toys.
Three points of entrance/egress that aren’t windows. Two story. Older, closed floor plan. Narrow hallways.
Wife doesn’t want dogs in the house (cultural thing). Bedrooms upstairs. Creaky floors (crawlspace). What I’m saying is…my daughter has never successfully snuck out.

You just described my Estridge built in 84 home and I've never been able to successfully sneak in.
83 for me. No idea who built this thing. I do know the previous owner should be shot be he’s already dead.
What is the best bullet proof vest on the market to stop shotgun shells and attack dogs?
ChatGPT said:
The best body armor to protect against shotgun shells and attack dogs needs to address two very different threats:- Shotgun shells (especially buckshot or slugs) require high blunt force resistance.
- Attack dogs require protection against bites, punctures, and slashing.
🔰 Key Features You Need
- NIJ Level IIIA or higher:
- Level IIIA stops 12-gauge buckshot, slugs, and most handgun rounds.
- For slugs or high-velocity rounds, add Level III or IV plates (hard armor).
- Stab & Slash Resistance:
- To handle knife-like punctures (e.g., dog bites), look for dual-threat vests rated for Edged Blade and Spike protection (per NIJ 0115.00).
- Bite Protection:
- Soft armor panels with reinforced outer carriers (e.g., Kevlar or Cordura) provide moderate bite resistance.
- Some vests feature chainmail or bite sleeves as modular add-ons.
- Coverage & Fit:
- Full torso, shoulders, and side protection.
- Molle-compatible carriers for add-ons like groin and neck guards.
🛡️ Top Recommended Vests (2025)
1. AR500 Armor Veritas Lite with Level IIIA Soft Panels
- ✔️ Stops 12-gauge buckshot and handgun rounds
- ✔️ Optional trauma pads for blunt force
- ✔️ Modular, MOLLE-compatible
- ❌ Not bite-specific, but outer shell is rugged
2. Safariland SX02 Level IIIA + Stab Protection
- ✔️ Certified for both ballistic and edged/spike threats
- ✔️ Trusted by law enforcement
- ✔️ Very lightweight and concealable
- ❌ Limited external modularity
3. DFNDR Armor Level III or IIIA Tactical System
- ✔️ Lightweight polyethylene plates (stops slugs)
- ✔️ Trauma reduction layers
- ✔️ High-end multi-hit capability
- ❌ Pricey
4. Safe Life Defense Multi-Threat Level IIIA+ Vest
- ✔️ Rated for ballistic, stab, and slash protection
- ✔️ Covers dog bite-like threats
- ✔️ Optional full tactical setup
- ✔️ Popular with security and K9 units
- ❗ "Level IIIA+" is not an NIJ rating but exceeds IIIA in-house
🐕 For Attack Dogs (Additional Suggestions)
- Chainmail sleeves or K9 bite arm guards can be added externally.
- Some riot control suits include bite-resistant mesh and padding (e.g., Damascus Gear or Hatch Defender suits).
💡 Final Tips
- No vest is fully "dog-proof." Aggressive trained dogs target arms, legs, and neck—vests won’t protect limbs unless you add specific guards.
- Consider full-body riot gear or K9 decoy suits if you're regularly facing animal threats.
- Always verify NIJ certifications and fitment with your body type.
Would you like a recommendation tailored to your body size, specific use case (e.g., law enforcement, private security, rural threat zone), or budget?
Best to just take some Irish Whiskey and a box of Falls City
If you dont have neighbors close by then your options are pretty much unlimited.
The old man said he was weaned on it.There's a blast from past.
So just like a fleshlight. Got it.
Ask about protection at short range from Hornady Match 285 grain boattail hollowpoint in .338 Lapua Magnum.
Been very hesitant….There's a blast from past.

I can remember drinking the occasional sip of Falls City at family get togethers as a kid. I'd go once just for the nostalgia and the photo opp.
