Not one butt dial in the whole list.

Not. One.

C’mon Flathead, you’re slipping!

“ 2:32 p.m. A Kalispell man walking to the gas station stopped to kick his misbehaving dog.”

real talk. I think people who abuse animals should be shot

3:39 p.m. A man was dumping leaves on his neighbor’s property.

Oooh, the next stage after “piling up garbage/debris on the shared property line.”

I think preemptively calling the police to assure them you’re not crazy might be a bit counterproductive.

I believe the word they were looking for was awesome!

6:51 p.m. Someone reported that a man was sitting in his truck shooting stuff out the window.

Again, I fail to see a problem.

Have you ever shot a big gun in the cab of a pickup? The concussion wave in the cab is quite amazballs.

Never in a truck cab, but I have shot large firearms in enclosed spaces. It’s pretty fun!

I also once shot a .50 BMG rifle with shit hearing protection (those Surefire EP’s with the plugs open). My ears were ringing for days. It kicked ass!

My daily driver is a .270 so I don’t have experience with any thing bigger than a 30-06. I ALWAYS wear hearing protection and also have documented hearing loss in my right ear... wonder why...

Oh, I always wear it too, but in the instance of the 50 I was so excited to shoot it I failed to properly consider just how loud a 50 is. Hint, it’s LOUD!!!! I should have had the plug s closed, and muffs on the outside.

The .270 is a nice round, I feel like it doesn’t get the respect it deserves due to all the whiz-bang, flavor of the months calibers out there now. I shoot a lot of old 5.56mm and a lot of old mil-surp stuff, so 7.65x54r, .303 Brit, 7.5 Swiss, and . 30-06. The 50 belonged to a friend, my biggest boy is a .300 Win Mag, which does everything I need and more.

I got my rifle when I was 12 years old so it is now ummmm 33 years old and in amazing condition. That’s one cool thing about a high quality gun they last for ever.

Very cool! I’ve got a little Browning Buckmark 22 I got when I was about the same age and it’s still going strong 23 years later. And I’ve got some Swiss K rifles from the 1890 's that shoot a lot better than a lot of cheap junk you can buy now adays.
