    Took the AR out this past Saturday for Hogs. Forgot to take a picture of the rifle while in the blind.... didn't get any hogs sadly.



    Malcolm photo bombing the picture.



    Pecan Farm I hunted...



    Just as the sun was coming up.



    Midway through the hunt.

    As Rushy said, we start from a very different premise legally here
    Wait.... you have to get certified to use a holster on the range and handgun hunting is only approved on land that you own if you designate it handgun range?

    ¡Coño!

    Technically. The only time you are allowed legally to have your hand guns on you is on the way to the range, your house and a gun smith or dealer.

    It has to be police certified so lots of hoops to jump through too.

    So you can carry your pistol in a holster on the way to the range, gunsmith, or home? Or do you mean it can be securely incased in a travel container like a zipper pouches or lockable hard case?

    Hell, I carried my Glock 22 Gen 4 and my buddy carried his SA 1911 National Match openly while we were at the local Waffle House in Thomasville, Georgia.

    I always have a pistol on me when hunting. Hogs are mean jerks and sometimes a pistol is needed. Had to put a hog down or two with a pistol.

    Locked case and only to range, gunsmith or to the arms officer.

    I keep a S&W Model 669 as a truck gun.



    Always rides in my truck.

    Wife has a S&W Model 642 in her car on a 24/7 basis.

    That is what we carry. That rotates daily.

    The closest we get to hand gun hunting is solids shot from a very sawn off shotgun.

    We mainly use a pack of dogs and a pig sticker for pig hunting.

    Mitch Maxbury builds them for single shot target rifles he did a couple with mags for me.
    I've had the first one for 5 or 6 years. Very accurate.

    Partially correct....I have one(suppressor)....Oregon ,6 ,months,...still shitty deal,word is trump is going to relax those restrictions,...YEAH RIGHT!

    In Miami,s defense,try not to drag this situation through the mud,and I’m not trying to make it political.I’m lucky that I live under both “houses,”,I spend 6 months in Kiwi,6 in the states.I grew up under the Kiwi situation.Yeah it’s great that little ol Kiwi is wrapped in cotton-wool,far away from the violent world we live in,....we all know that’s changing,and I certainly don’t want the yank situation of handguns in everyone’s vehicles either.Miami has a reason to carry,I personally carry.Just look at the number of fuckwits in Kiwi who carry,knives,softball bats,chains,crowbars in there vehicles,for so-called protection or intimidation......if that’s news to you,then you need to get out more often.

    New Zealand’s mindset towards firearms is totally the opposite of what most yanks have......I change my mindset every time I’m on Kiwi soil as opposed to US soil,( and I’m only talking about these two countries).Miami lives in a system he didn’t create,he works with it,he,like me (I hope) doesn’t go looking for trouble ,but when it occurs,he has the ability to defend himself and his whanau(that concept is no different than in Kiwi).I certainly don’t want to see Kiwi go The American way at all,we are not that “type”,but ours guns laws in Kiwi,as in the states is in shambles,very hard to turn the clock back and rectify the cockups these Govt have made,and the situations it’s put us in.

    By the way Miami,nice piece,mate,very nice,I pack a Springfield Armoury,45 semi-auto,Range master,4in barrel.I have a lot of my kiwis mates come over,and not one of them has ever protested about having a handgun available when we tiki-tour.......different strokes for different folks,.......when in in Spain

    If your ever in Oregon,look me up,I fly into Miami often.....
