Thread for self defense and weapons training (hexbear.net)

Not good for opsec, but this thread might be helpful for everyone; we’ve got a lot of knowledgable gun nerds on here. I don’t think I’ve ever held a firearm in my life but it’s time for me to get trained and git good at firing at random objects. So what would be the course of action for me, a silo’d individual in rural new England? How do I get a license? Which gun should I get (ngl I want the HK MK23) How do I get better at it, and at selfdefense?

Do you have a local SRA chapter?

[–] Chana@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

SRA is anticommunist and often pretty useless. Better to quietly use local facilities and not get on their lists.

[–] silentjohn@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

None of that is true but thanks for your reply. Cheers!

[–] Chana@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

Uh...yes it is all true. SRA is dominated by "anti-tankie" anarchists and liberals and is, accordingly, barely organized at all. You might find one or two chapters that aren't like this, but this is precisely because they are not organized.

Do not give them your name, nor recommend them.

Hasn’t sra been infiltrated by feds? Correct me if I’m wrong, I only have a loose recollection of this

The best OpSec practice is to assume that all orgs have been infiltrated by the feds.

Go for the training. Don't talk in a way that could get you dragged off to some dungeon or before a judge. Beware of anyone who encourages others to take things to the next level. Don't share recipes for how to make IEDs.

You'll be fine, just keep your head on your shoulders and guard your words. (Also maybe consider Pink Pistols or whatever the successor org is?)

Everything, everywhere apparently is infiltrated if all accusations are to be believed. Maybe it's true. I'd rather organize irl and get shit done than argue online about what might be or not be infiltrated.
