Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Wtf are you talking about? I'm in California and we still have our firearms ready. 10 mag? Lol we have 30s round mags from freedom week. Shitty pistol grip? Lol we already have a quick swap for it to be a regular rifle. Yeah we might not have all the calibers but we still have rifle ammo that will do good against plates.
I'm actually still looking to get my safety classes and certification done. Any recommendations for a good place to go? :)
I honestly didn't have to do that since I was in the military when I got my own firearms. Turners was easy for my brother in law who wasn't in the military.
The FSC is pretty much common sense rules. Don't point firearm at someone, watch your trigger finger, how to safely store your firearm.
Yep, standard stuff. I actually wanted to learn more about firearms from a mechanical perspective (electrical engineering student, but I always found firearms design fascinating). I've already done a lot of background research on how to diagnose things like jams and malfunctions, along with responsible precautions like trigger finger discipline and proper transport/carry positions (fun fact: VR shooters work surprisingly well as a no-risk environment to practice this stuff).
I guess I'm getting into more detail than I need to, but I'm really just looking for good organizations to learn and share in the hobby with others here in Cali without getting tangled with those red hat chucklefucks. At least I already bought my own earpro - industrial intern environments already gave me the excuse to get a Razor Slim headset XD
Yeah pretty much almost all ranges are controlled by red hats. The one that I've gone to in socal and hasn't been swarmed with red hats would be in lytle creek. Been there a few times and it's been quiet and RSO are chill AF. Raahauge shooting range owners are red hats and are proud of it which is why I stop going to them. The RSO were also really chill and friendly but I can't accept giving money to red hats.
