Yeah, that way they can paint it as a white supremacist march and taint everyone's reputations.

The Second Amendment was drafted and added to the U.S. Constitution as a safeguard against a tyrannical government. The Colonists' experience with King George III attempting to ban and confiscate firearms and gunpowder in 1774-5 was still very fresh in their minds.
The militia consisted of any able-bodied male 18 years of age or older, and they used firearms that were kept in their homes. They were not kept in any centralized storage facility. The term "well regulated" in Colonial times meant "well practiced". It certainly didn't mean regulated (controlled) by the government. Anti-gunners today like to state that well-regulated means that the government can put restrictions on firearms ownership, thus "regulating" them. That is laughable at best.
Congressional members are elected to represent we the people in government -- to give us a voice. They are supposed to answer to us. Well, in Virginia, these elected officials (who were bought and paid for by Bloomberg) are attempting to vote into law their own agenda, even when it is apparent that most do not want these laws. They aren't mirroring the will of the people. There is no representation in Virginia.

SB 9Eliminates landowner liability should someone get hurt while target practicing on the property. SB 16Makes possession of a firearm by a serious juvenile delinquent a crime. SB 28Mandatory background checks for private firearm sales. SB29Prohibits a resident from possessing or even storing firearms if someone else living on the premises poses a risk of imminent personal injury to himself or herself or any other individual. SB 203Prohibits the sale, trade, or transfer (possession) of a firearm to a person under 21. Bans sale and possession of any magazine over 10 rounds. Bans possession of a "multiburst trigger activator", which essentially works like a "bump stock" and only allows one shot per pull of the trigger. HB 1029Amends the statutory definition of "dealer" to include any person who holds himself or herself out as a buyer and seller of firearms on a regular and continuing basis, and requires such persons to keep firearms locked in a secure area. If you buy firearms on a regular basis, you'd be included as vague as this law is. SB245Creates a civil penalty for certain persons carrying a weapon on certain premises open to the public. HB1259Allows hospitals to ban firearms possession on the premises, which includes parking lots.

Thank you! I'm looking forward to getting back into the woods next season to focus on a good buck after so long. My last buck was 2017, and I shot it in the last 15 minutes of firearms season. It was less than what I target nowadays, but it was on property that I was losing permission to hunt on and I was just growing weary of life. I said, "Screw it", pulled the trigger, and my problems in life started unfolding soon after.

I have zero problems with Indiana legalizing HPR's for public ground and I feel that it's dumb for them to allow them on private but not public. I no longer hunt public property, but if I did, I'd know that even today I'm not restricted to PCR's there. I can use about any caliber I want in an AR pistol -- be it .300 Blackout, .243, .308, 6.8 SPC, etc. I'd use this, minus the suppressor, since Indiana took it upon itself to exclude them from public ground:

Im currently going through injury reports from various states that allow centerfire rifles for deer hunting. This is pretty damning data for the "its not safe" crowd. You should have seen all the shotgun slug injuries I researched when Indiana was first talking about legalizing HPR's for deer. The big question is: How many of those injuries that you've found were accidents that would not have happened had they been slug guns? All that matters to Indiana is that there hasn't been a single incident of someone being shot by a deer hunter with a rifle in Indiana since they were legalized. And I'm not aware of any property damage caused by them either. There was the time a building was hit and initial blame was laid on a hunter until it was proven to be someone target shooting.

checked gas block screw it's already super tight. About an hour worth of wait time on the phone. That's what they suggested to check into. Think I will go a fourth round and try again If they suggested to check the gas block, it's because they suspect short stroking. But, it's not necessarily the gas block screw(s) being loose, but rather the block being misaligned. There is a hole in the gas block that aligns with the gas port in the barrel, and if the block is canted, it can partially block the gas port and reduce the gas needed to cycle the action. If the bolt locks back everytime on an empty mag, then it is not short stroking. That said, it still doesn't explain all the jams being on only one side.

I've had them bad for years, but I put a serious dent in my local population every year, so their numbers have diminished greatly and hopefully this year I'll clean up the remnants and be done with them.
You know how I get easy kills on them? I DECOY THEM! Seriously. I take a dead one that I've whacked and hang it with a fine piece of thread on the eave of my porch. Those suckers are territorial as heck, and are drawn like flies to honey to the "intruder". I then proceed to either whack or spray the challenger.
I can't remember if it is carburetor or brake cleaner, but one of those drops them like a hammer without a single wingbeat. I'm talking a dozen plus kills an evening for days at a time.

Welcome back! I do the same thing, but also add in wind drift data. What can do you have and how do you like it? Thanks. The suppressor is an SRT Shadow. I've used it on my current .260 Rem, and well as .308 and .25-06 rifles and have no complaints. Doug Melton builds great suppressors, and even though I bought it in 2003, I don't feel that it is dated. It still does what it should. It is heavy at 28 ounces, so I'd definitely go titanium if I were buying today. Thanks, Saltydog!

There has been 114,489 deer killed in the state as of today in which 8,340 have came from public grounds! Dang, that's a huge disparity! I would have thought that public lands would have yielded more than that. No wonder I've never jumped a deer while hiking any HNF properties. LOL!

Looks like you're on the "comeback trail" for sure! And from those shots, looks like your marksmanship is intact! God bless. Thanks! This year's doe (bottom pic) was only the second deer in my hunting career (my first season was 1995) that I've shot beyond 100 yards. She was at 255 yards. I cheat. LOL!

Thought about (or done) any backpacking? I really enjoy it, but don't set aside nearly enough time for it. Actually, I've done a little, and am planning to do quite a lot this year. I probably spent close to $2K this past Fall stocking up for it. I have two packs, an Osprey Atmos 65 for the overnight stuff and an Osprey Talon 22 for day hikes. I bought a Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL2 tent, since I'm trying to put together a somewhat lightweight package, along with a Big Agnes down sleeping bag and inflatable pad. I tried to choose lightweight stuff for each item I needed. I'm wanting to section hike the Knobstone Trail this year, as I don't have the time to dedicate to doing the entire 52 miles as a through hike. The logistical nightmare is having to arrange two vehicles, one at the beginning of a section and one at the end. I had to do the entire 42-mile Tecumseh Trail that way and it was a big hassle. I also sold my "cheaper" kayak and bought a Wilderness Systems Tsunami 140 kayak and Werner Camano carbon fiber paddle. I never thought I'd pay more for a paddle than I paid for my last kayak. Lol!

Is there any side-to-side play in your magazine? If it were the right side jamming, I might have even considered that the right side of the magazine was dipping down under pressure from the bolt carrier.
My reason for initially suspecting short stroking was that it can jam a round due not having "enough of a run" to drive the round into the chamber. But, it certainly wouldn't favor one side only if that were the case.
For the barrel to be canted, the indexing pin in the barrel extension would have to be at fault, or the slot in the upper receiver that it fits into --and either would be a very rare occurrence in a factory rifle, especially one from a big company such as Ruger. I also couldn't see them using an M4 upper receiver with a standard barrel extension.

You ain't missing much! You need to teach me long range plinking! I'm far from an expert on shooting. Lol! I have stretched my deer rifle out to 500 yards a couple of times to confirm that the feedback from my shooting app did indeed match my actual scope dope. I'm thrilled to death that my Ruger American rifle straight out of the box holds sub-MOA with lead-tipped Sierra Pro-Hunter bullets all the way out to the 500 yards that I tested it to. Can't beat a cheap rifle and non-match ammo doing that well. I plan to set up a 500-yard range this Spring on one of the farms I hunt.

Glad to see you back on board, if you don't mind taking a bit of advise from a senior citizen don't make deer hunting a numbers game enjoy the preparation as much as the participation. Yeah, I was just poking fun at being in the hole. Thank you for the well wishes.
