San Francisco Chronicle ^ | September 21, 2020 | Nellie Bowles

PORTLAND, Ore. — Terrance Moses was watching protesters against police brutality march down his quiet residential street one recent evening when some in the group of a few hundred suddenly stopped and started yelling. Moses was initially not sure what the protesters were upset about, but as he got closer, he saw it: His neighbors had an American flag on display.

. “They said take it down. They wouldn’t leave. They said they’re going to come back and burn the house down”


Thanks for the warning. Now I have to decide between hollow points or buckshot.

Now will everybody finally understand what so many of us have known all along — that these are anti-American riots.

Not anti-police.

Not anti-”fascist”.

Not anti-racism.

Anti-American.

Buckshot. #4 would be my choice. Nice magnum load, 1 1/2oz payload and no shot cup. Just a cushioned gas seal.

I’m thinking about buying a good sling shot.

Along the same rational as “magic Negro”. Google it up if unfamiliar with the term.

Wrist rocket with glass marbles.
Cheaper than the steel shot they sell for them.

Buckshot. #4 would be my choice. Nice magnum load, 1 1/2oz payload and no shot cup. Just a cushioned gas seal.

This from an online gun forum:

"Years ago I was in Louisville KY visiting a friend. An armed robber was pursued by a police officer who was fired upon. The officer returned fire with 12 GA # 4 buck. The bad guy went down hard and succored to his injuries then and there. My father had a small iron working business in an area having crime issues. A Captain in the Cleveland PD gave my Dad a box of No 4 buck> He advised him that they preferred No 4 over OO as they got better results. of course that was over 40 years ago…………"

I won't argue, but it just seems counterintuituve to prefer No.4 over 00. Plus, I didn't stockpile No.4. Any buckshot is scarce as hen's teeth right now.

This is why we need to roll back the Gun Control Act of 1934 - private citizens need belt-fed automatic weapons.

“How dare you fly the American flag?”

How about arresting these clowns and send them to GITMO and schedule their trial....for about two years from now?

Get #3 steel balls. They’re 0.25” and you should use the BPI (or other brand) shot wads for steel shot. Both the steel shot and wads are readily available, and the steel is so much cheaper than lead anyway. Just remember that steel is good for shorter ranges, given that it’s so much less dense than lead. But for the types of engagements we’re discussing, I don’t think distance is a factor.

As for some folks’ preference for #4 over #00, —. The larger number of pellets, each having substantial mass is why some of us prefer the smaller buckshot.

#4 doesn’t have enough energy to cause blunt force trauma damage through body armor.

00 Buck is still plentiful in some online retailers and at my local Walmarts in Dallas.

Which is why i would aim for the face. And by the way, a full-boat #4 buck load at close range would put a T-Rex on its ass, body armor or no.
