Dear WLS

  • Jakey Poo – Which truck stops do you guys work as lot snakes? Shawn sounds familiar, I just can’t place it. Anyway, I’m set to “inherit” my great-grandfather’s hunting rifle. It’s a turn-of-the-century model, not sure what year exactly yet, but it’s a Remington slide action in 35 Remington. I know nothing about performance, etc. You think I’d be safe to shoot it? It’s for sure in heirloom territory. I don’t have any use plans for it. Maybe a wall hanger if I can find a place my wife can handle for it. Anyway, thanks for the info boys (I think, don’t want to misgender these days) Ps, I don’t actually care about Aaron’s gender or offending anyone. Pps, I miss Lil. Ppps, no homo. Pppps, SSB. Ppppps, is this joke old and dumb yet? Pppppps, just like shawn and aaron, lol

  • Tony D – “Looking to get a sidearm for hiking and camping. I spend a lot of time in the White Mountains in New Hampshire. For the most part our wildlife is pretty easy to deal with. We have black bears but they tend to be small and for the most part they’re more afraid of people than we are of them. The next biggest predators we have are coyotes, and bobcats, which I’m not particularly worried about, and fisher cats which, while creepy as fuck if you hear them at night, aren’t really a threat (seriously look that shit up, they sound like screaming women). We also have timber rattlesnakes but they’re rare enough to be a non-issue. Here’s where it gets interesting, there is one animal in the woods of northern New England that scares me and it’s the moose. When I say this people tend to say, “what’s the big deal? It’s just big deer, right?” Fuck no. I don’t care how big you think a moose is, it’s bigger than that. Picture a clydesdale with six foot antlers and cloven hooves and you’ll have a rough approximation. They fear nothing and they move through the woods surprisingly quietly so it’s pretty easy to startle one if you don’t know it’s there. In springtime the young bulls get all sex-nuts and retard-strong and occasionally decide to take out their sexual frustration by murdering the fuck out of whatever they can find. And god help you if you come across a cow with a baby. Mama moose will stomp your ass into jelly and go right back to munching on lake weed if you so much as look at her offspring cross-eyed. So my question is this, is 10mm hardcast enough to take down leftover ice-age megafauna too dumb to go extinct? Or should I be looking at something bigger?”

  • Aaron Not Moses – Rebuilding a backyard range and I have a few different places to put it, no gas lines nearby. I am mostly surrounded by woods but there are some properties that have buildings on them or may be building on them in the future. Two questions, how high should a berm be in relation to the targets? When placing the berm and shooting direction how far should the closest building be away? 1 mile, 2 miles, or more We are shooting anything from 22-6.5 Creedmoor, but who knows when we will buy a cannon.

  • Tyson S – Recently started chemo and due to having a port on my right side they told not shoot for fear of damaging it. My time line is finishing chemo ( should be cured very treatable prognosis) in a couple months but the ports stays in for a year or so. I’m going to try to learn to shoot left handed now a skill that I never thought I’d need. Should I just try and I use my regular right handed guns? I feel that it’ll be a terrible gassy experience. Or should I just try to find a left handed gun for the time being? Is there any training aids/videos you’d recommend. Thanks appreciate your time! You guys definitely give me awesome break from reality and when I need it and some great laughs!

  • Chris W – Good evening gentlemen. I need recommendations for a new hunting rifle for deer season in Pennsylvania. I have a ruger american in 6.5 but due to a recent injury I need a more vertical grip to hold the gun properly. I really don’t want to get rid of the gun so maybe a chassis swap would work? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. #notes”

  • Chris M – Heyyy Nick have you shot the M79 3D printed grenade launcher yet? Want to know if it’s safe to shoot. Thanks No Notes

  • Mike C – Not a question, but comment on the Firearms Direct Club discussion from the last episode. Personally a big fan of it. Got the discounted rate using The Gun Collective code ($12.99/mo) and it paid for itself for the year at the first firearm purchase. I admit I buy more per year than the average person (5 – 10 generally) so it’s 100% worth it for me. It obsoletes gun broker for certain types of purchases.
