I don’t know if California has a wild hog problem, but in many southern states, wildlife officers are being equipped with .308 ARs for wild hog control.
That being said, I never believe the media on anything gun related. They will get the simplest facts wrong almost every time.
In the Central Coast we do have a hog problemo. However, LEO prefers black weapons, like the rest of us.
They can’t tell me they go to Toys r us and don’t buy some toys just for themselves.
Heck, i sometimes buy a toy from the “Spy” line.
I don’t have a compelling need to buy a black weaoon but for the gubmint telling me I can’t fancy up my weapons.
Luv my M1A’s and Garand’s. In fact, I’m looking to get a few more and junk them up as AR’s.
Found a guy that refurbs Garands and stands behind them 100% fir any reason. He just luvs em and his proud of hus work.
He refurbs all of em for $1200-1600. Thats way better than cmp and an affordable price poing to take an absolutely deoendable .308 and shorten the thing by some 12” and give it the badazz look for anither $1,000.
Gonna buy 5-6 in the couple of months and put makeup on a couple.....fer the fun of it.
Forgot....they prefer 223/556 cuz dat whutz duh miltaries gotz.
Me....I like heavy rounds and if it were feasable to carry .46, .50 or higher I’d have them.
If you gotta blow something or someone away why make the job hard.
I listened to the gun fight between Dorner and the two LEO’s yesterday and counted between them some 60 shots.
60 rounds!!! Between a guy who is at least a marksman and two men who, presumably, qualify for at keast the minimum qualification, which getting at least 70% of their rounds in the black...anywhere in the black.
Blech! That’s some layzee shootin that is mace worse under fire.
If you’re gonna shoot someone use the heaviest round you can and put bigger hole in your target or at least tear off a limb if you have defend yerself.
Live a little...
