Nakoichi, if you read this, your public declarations of binge drinking in the blorp chat had me concerned. I know life has been rough and we cope how we can, but consider how that's affecting you and others around you. Consider taking a break and, like, find some healthier way, idk. Wish you the best.

I just want to warn: don't use discord for organizing or electronic communication. It's insecure and unencrypted. I'd use an encrypted messenger like Signal.
software patents are so absurd
a floating arrow in a driving game is patented
loading screen minigames are patented
can't think of a good reason software patents should exist
nah you got this
https://www.shootingillustrated.com/content/4-flashlight-techniques-for-concealed-carry/
the first 3 techniques are good except hold the light at the temple of one's head instead of one's neck, so you can illuminate your sights and actually illuminate everything from your eyes POV instead of making a big arm and gun shadow off to your strong side
i prefer the "high fbi" or that temple hold. you can adapt to the situation. avoid bouncing the light off the cover you are standing right behind and blinding yourself.
you mean on the frame dustcover rail underneath? flashlight isn't a bad idea. also there are optic mounts that attach and wrap around to the top so you can put an optic on top, doesn't seem super practical but could be a fun range toy accessory
Is Discord like particularly unsecure? I keep hearing of authorities using it against people.

second most well-known band shirt of all time
what's the number 1 most well known?
It's really good. Got an almost perfect score shooting five stand. I like a circle-dot reticle for it. The key is to keep both eyes open, acquire the target as quickly as possible and focus on it. Then, all I had to do was put the big circle-dot in the flight path ahead of the clay.
For home defense and drone defense, I think this setup is the way to go.
Recent figures from the Ukraine War show 80% of casualties are caused by drones. With the advent of fiber optic guidance, the only defenses seem to be protective netting or shooting them down. 
has used drones with mounted rifles to shoot civilians in Gaza. This technology will only become more widespread.
Already, I've seen many drones at protests and demonstrations. We know and have seen there are people who want to shoot or run over demonstrators. It's only a matter of time that drones become weaponized and used against civilians here. I sometimes see people open carry larger guns to defend people at these demonstrations, now an unfortunate necessity. In the future, I propose a shotgun may become more useful.
For shooting clays, many places in the US offer rentals and lessons. Used shotguns are relatively inexpensive. The Mossberg Maverick 88 is a well-regarded, reliable entry-level choice to pickup. I like the 2-barrel combo option for less than $250.
A ribbed barrel with interchangeable chokes is really nice to have for shooting clays. The "security" or "LE" barrels on shotguns typically are a fixed cylinder, suited for slugs and defensive buckshot like Federal Flite Control. One can use those for birdshot, at the tradeoff of more spread and less effective range.
There are all kinds of specialty ammo for shotguns. For Ukraine, they are testing net-launching shotgun ammo.
Now all that said, the recoil of a 12-gauge isn't for everyone. Also common, 20-gauge is a bit smaller and lighter recoiling, and still plenty effective for many purposes. There's also .410, even smaller. That's why I recommend getting a lesson or trying a buddy's.
I have some more thoughts tips and insights that I might share later, and I'm still learning a lot about this discipline. Share your thoughts, tips and insights, and thanks for reading!
Switzerland's first standard-issue autoloading rifle. I like that they kept the beer-keg charging handle.
