I want to be involved and working around firearms, and a little info about me – just graduated high school, and I’m an introvert..but not anti social! I really do well when I work by myself, but if there’s team effort, I’ll step up too. I love shooting ever since I was a kid, and a month after graduating, I decided that I want to work in this area. I’ve thought about other jobs, like computers and technology, and the medical field, but many of my family members work with firearms or related fields, and I guess that I’m in a tradition, and I love it. Many of my uncles and cousins and even one aunt are either veterans or deployed. My aunt was in the Air Force, and 2 Marine uncles and 1 uncle was a soldier, and 4 cousins deployed, one Navy, rest are Marines. The rest of my family are either gunsmiths and ranch "peeps", because we have LOTS of chicken.
I guess I wanted to explain all of that because I have these two paths – the Military or Family business. I know that it’s my choice, and I’ve talked to my family about this, and they help me out as well. But my question is, Is there other areas where I can work with Firearms? I can only think of a few–
Military or the family business. Law Enforcement. Forest/Border worker.
Can anyone please point out other jobs? Thanks in advance
The newsmen are saying that the Marines prefer these scopes on their rifles. That the company that produces them is the best. Wonder why?
I am talking about the current news where atheists are in an uproar because for years this Christian owner has been putting Bible verses on rifle scopes used by the US military.
Joy of Jesus: I love your answer already.
If the Koran or Origin of Species was on this scope it would not be worth buying and would never have a huge US military contract. Honoring the Lord will always have its rewards.
Yes, they are reporting that the marines prefer these sights. Maybe the Bible verse will keep you from being captured.
The Word of God is powerful, my friend.
Evidently, the multi-billion dollar company knows that the Word of God is powerful. If I were a soldier, I would want God’s help above any other help. God is the only protection that any man ever has.
I have a friend who was a retired General but in WWII he would tell you that he stayed in prayer with the Lord’s name constantly on his mind, because that was his shield against the enemy to bring him through the war. He carried Scripture verses on him.
The military continues to do business with this company because they make the best sights in the industry. God has blessed this company.
The best sights in the industry and you want this industry torn down because of a small Bible verse. I believe the soldier will tell you to give him the best sight for his rifle. Give him whatever he needs to keep him alive.
i want to join the army but im 35 lbs overweight and i don’t like working out, i hate working out.
why does every soldier have to be fit, can’t they put guys like me in a tank, driving trucks around or in trench with a rifle somewhere. it doesn’t take a six pack to shoot a gun.
maybe they would meet the recruitment goals if they weren’t so picky.
Aside from tanks, what weapons do military personel have access to that police department don’t?
By the way, nukes don’t count, because your regular soldier doesn’t have access to them, but the department of defense does, just as the chief operating department of law enforcement (department of justice) could gain access to them if needed.
As far as standard weapons go, what does the military have that police agencies (including federal agencies, such as the FBI, ATF, DEA, etc don’t have?
The public option military does harm to private military/security companies, and forces many of them out of business. Also, allowing the government to control the military lets them put a bureaucrat between a soldier and his rifle.
I would like to buy a rifle and handgun to learn learn how to fire, but I was once told by an ex soldier that you don’t want to learn how to shoot the wrong way. I really don’t want to mess up my chances for certain positions because I was stupid enough to learn differently then what some military branches teach you.
I recall something about soldiers going door to door collecting firearms from citizens under threat of force after Katrina. Would today’s modern soldier readily enter homes, conduct warrant-less searches, seize property and firearms, arrest and detain, or even fire upon American citizens on American soil?
It can’t be any type of warrior or soldier that had knowledge of firearms. And it would have to be someone from the Bronze Age or Iron Age. What ancient military force would you want to serve in from these time periods?
The overwhelming majority of non-whites vote Democrat, and we’re armed to the teeth, with guns, assault rifles, explosives, military grade grenades, etc.
And we’re widely organized in every city in the USA. We have been preparing for war for 20 years. Every one of us, including our children, has the mentality of a soldier.
Republicans are deluded in thinking those who vote Democrat are all kumbaya peace-loving hippie types.
I need to know the regulations that govern the company level commander’s discretion on issuing orders to a soldier who owns a firearm off of and away from military installations to have that firearm placed in the custody of the arms room. I currently own a firearm (pistol) and i do not bring it onto military installations nor do i keep it in military housing. The firearm is stored off post at a civilian housing complex with my buddy. This is because the commander refuses to approve the on post registration form, so i keep it at a friends house off post so that i am following the regulation. Now i have been instructed to have it placed in the arms room and that i will not have access to it at all. This does not seem fair. I feel like i am having the firearm stolen from me. He believes that soldiers have no business owning firearms and he will not approve anyone to have one. Does anybody know anything about the legality of this issue??
The United States doesn’t need an army, navy, marines, coast guard, etc, etc. It’s just like the 2nd Amendment — these things were implemented by the Founding Fathers over 2 centuries ago! Back then a military and guns were needed, but today we have no need for either.
Think of the money that could be saved — bring home every soldier worldwide! No more Bush wars, Afghanistan wars, etc. The money saved could be used to provide free health care and help us fight global warming.
President Obama is bringing the change that WE THE PEOPLE elected!

More specifically, how is it decided if a soldier would carry an automatic rifle, or a shotgun? For instance, in many Vietnam and later war movies (e.g. "Platoon") most ‘grunts’ carry M16 or similar automatic rifles, but there may be one or two soldiers with shotguns instead. How is it decided if you’d be issued a shotgun or the standard issue automatic rifle?
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Why would the founding fathers find it necessary to spell out a soldier’s right to have a gun? Isn’t it obvious that the military has to have guns (even back in those days); what else are they suppose to fight back with? sticks and stones?
Ok, I was always wondering this so now I am going to ask. If you are a soldier in the Army or marines, when you get deployed into the middle east and go into combat, do you pick what your primary weapon is,(like a SAW machine gun, the m4 or m16) the mods on the gun, and how your gear is arranged?(such as the vest magazine pouches and things like that.) Or do the commanders or whoever is in charge of that stuff do it all for you.
just as the title says, are soldiers of any US military branch permitted to carry firearms in public? i remember, many years ago, a soldier came to my school with this huge rifle straped to his shoulder. whats the info on that?
why im wondering is, if i enlist, would i be allowed to carry a magnum or something? i dont like the idea of a soldier being as helpless as civillians if say a robbery occured.
okay for my English class we are doing a mock trail on whether Prometheus was wrong in giving us fire ( story in greek mythology doesnt really matter) but anywho i am a witness and my persona is a u.s soldier and i am on the prosecution side so……
how would my persona suppose to be agianst fire
i was thinking i could say that if we didnt have fire then we also wouldnt have military weapons and lots of people wouldnt be killled because of those weapons
but…………
is that true???
and how is fire actually used to make military weapons

to learn about the pro's and con's of each as well as the biggest mistake all the "heavy artillery" guys make when choosing "terminator ammo"!
(Hint: It has nothing to do with "stopping power" but it's nearly as important to your family that you get this right! Not doing so could cost you a lifetime of grieving that no law-abiding family should suffer...EVER!)Read More...
