    He's such a super libertarian but he hasn't realized that here's a market niche for him to fill? Pull up yon bootstraps, son

    The best places to shoot in Texas is on someone’s land. The problem is finding someone with land willing to let you shoot on it.

      I think its more that we tend to attract chuds. Self selection, kinda thing.

    Wtf? I've never in my life seen a range that bans FMJ, indoor or outdoor, and I live in fucking Chicago where you have to leave city limits to go to the range. What is Texas doing?

      I'm not a big gun head so i might be wrong. But part of the ammo restrictions might be due to a combo of liabilty issues without regulation being placed on the buildings or zoning.

      The indoor ranges are probably super cheaply constructed like literally every building in Texas. Instead of spending money making a range that you could fire whatever anmo you want, they cut corners and pass on the restriction to the consoooomers - exactly the kind of libertarian bullshit they should love. Like all libertarian bullshit, it helps the owners not consumers.

      Libertarians always assume the market will demand what they want as a consooooomer instead of what the peoole who own the market share want.

        But he says that outdoor ranges ban FMJ. You just shoot into a berm of dirt, it doesn't matter what the bullet is. Either the poster genuinely misunderstands the rules or there are never-before-seen insane levels of fuddery going on.

        Note that hollow point ammo is not the same thing as frangible ammo. It just kinda mushrooms when it hits a soft target to cause more damage. Probably penetrates slightly worse than FMJ but it still goes through normal walls. I struggle to imagine an indoor range that could withstand JHP but not FMJ without placing everyone outside in mortal danger

          Ah i see. That makes sense. Probably some other sort of bullshit readins then. It is true that they do that at indoor ranges in Texas at least everywhere i lived. Not sure about the outdoor ones because i never looked into it, but indoor ranges in Austin and Houston were very restrictive on ammo.

          I don't know why it is, but I'm sure whatever it is benefits the owners in some way or other lol

            maybe Texas indoor ranges are all using cheap ass vertical bullet traps? I've only ever seen helical ones here. (that doesn't explain JHP only outdoor ranges though)

              If theres a cheap, corner cutting way of doing business, everyone in Texas is doing it. Bonus points if it could cause harm to others.

              Yeah the outdoor ranges don't really make sense, and i don't really know if they by and large have those restrictions or not.

          I think the issue with the indoor ranges is steel jacketed bullets rather than just fmj ammo. I guess it might be a fire(steel sparks)/lead disposal issue.

      A lot of people with guns and land usually have their own range in Texas at least the rich do. The people who aren't as rich but use guns usually have a hunting lease that doesn't care what they're shooting so they'll set up their own range there. I've shot plenty of guns in my life but I've never been to a range

        I have noticed that although we have 162 Chicago hexbears, I am not receiving 161 upbears on my /c/chicago posts. I’m not sure if this is being done intentionally or if these “friends” are forgetting to click ‘upbear’. Either way, I’ve had enough. I have compiled a spreadsheet of individuals who have “forgotten” to upbear my most recent posts. After 2 consecutive strikes your name is automatically highlighted (shown in red) and I am immediately notified. 3 consecutive strikes and you can expect an in-person “consultation.” Think about your actions.

    No! I want to shoot whatever ammo i want. The market demands it!!!! wojak-nooo

    porky-happy shut up. We own the market. You'll eat the slop we give you and like it

    Real free markets have never been tried! Less restrictions will lead to all my consooooomer dreams coming true very-intelligent

    cap-think what are you talking about? That would give me even more... i mean, you're right. You are very intelligent. In fact here's a bunch of money to spread your totally facts and logic based ideas porky-happy 💰
