In my military experience this means that they have identified you as someone that they cannot share those opinions with, and this is another way you are absolutely ignoring the systemic issues in your service.

I doubt it. These are people who held their opinions until they were out of the service; people I'm still in contact with and have these conversations. I'm not one of our socialist go-getters in here, I'm about as close to right-wing as you'll find in GIP anymore.

They’d probably love to include condoms but they also prevent transmission of disease, so that’s unfortunately just a bridge too far.

One of the fun things about observing the culture at a very large government research lab is the mix between 20-30+ yr vets coming in doing their second career after they retire (usually from quite operational career fields), and entry level college hiring from large schools in this area (MD). Nothing quite blows up in public, but it is oil and water at times and I can sense the old vets cringing at things like diversity & inclusion initiatives coming from the top down. COVID did expose a bit more of this than normal and I know some people left my organization because the LIBERALS were FORCING people to get the EVIL VAX. (so was the DoD, and the rest of the govt, buddy)

Yeah do they expect a bunch of suburban moms wearing those stupid pussy hats, rolling up and doing a drive-by on Brett‘s house with some converted Uzi’s?

That said in the tradition of early American politics, well colonial ones, burning down the governors house and other politicians houses in Boston was a fairly regular thing. No I am not encouraging anyone to do that, this isn’t the sub form for getting subpoenas.

There’s a thread over in TFR where goons have been offering to help instruct LGBTQI people in firearms usage because poo poo was scary for our friends before, and it’s even worse now that Thomas gave away the game and said Obergefell and Lawrence should be examined next.

Ruger makes the Ruger-5.7 in a state-compliant model. But the Five-Seven does come in 10-round SKUs.

I would ask you to reconsider 5.7mm as the American Eagle poo poo is terrible for anything except range play, FN's ammo is expensive as gently caress, and Fiocchi *just* announced starting a production line for 5.7mm that'll take a *while* to get started.

Why do you specifically *want* a 5.7mm pistol? Because it's not what I'd pick for a self-defense weapon.

To answer your question, so long as you get the 10-round model it should be legal.

Given that it sounds like it'd be your first pistol - since you're inquiring about permits - I would suggest that you look up some videos about 5.7mm penetration. The TL;DR is that 5.7mm is a very fast round with very little stopping power and a very high chance of overpenetration, even out of a pistol-length barrel.

Going to offer to take this to PMs if you're down as this ain't TFR.

Considering Canadian politics tends to lag behind the US by about five years or so I just hope that the white nationalist party du jour that sweeps parliament in 2025 at least undoes all the reactionary centrist gun control policies of the last decade before they outlaw abortions and queer people.

The only man who can help you protect your abortion rights now is Eugene Stoner.
