ok as far as the gun goes i am going to make it shoot like all my theres i like it when the shot groups are on top of each other I meet a member here is selling me a reading kit for supper cheap so i am going to start that but it will take time to get a load that is right. I dont have my father any more and he was the man and enclyipda when it came to this stuff i dont trust my memory to do it.

and not being able to have care or use a gun unless you are found incompetent by the va you are allowed to own use and like me who has a chl carry a gun just because i have ptsd does not me I am any more dangers then anyone els yes i get mad easy but i am smart enough to know not to just shoot every one who make me mad if you were a miltay physic you would know i have to meet a certne cridate and a tbi and ptsd does not count more does taking morphine for my back i just take take it while i am handling a gun or hunting i deal with it and when i am dont i take my meds and lay done for a while

I am sorry i dont know how to read well or write well any more I dont understand english or my writing because most of the time what i write is not what i am thinking I see words that are all jumped up and look foreign most of the time I cant help it if i could go back the the way i was a collage grad with a body that wasn't busted up i would in a heart beat you know i use to wire a little thing on TX fishing forum about why my writing is so poor and member there caused me of winning so here i didn't i just posted a little about it and some pic i really dont want to see any more in hopes more people would see it and understand and it seem to work and guys are passing it along but just because i cant read well or right does not mean i cant hunt or shot or reload i am still good with coordination just my memory is not very good still to this day i will for get about whole days i dont reminder much of a day just bits and pieces like a puzzel your trying to put to gather with missing pieces you can do most of it but there are still gabs even after my head injury the army found me fit for duty and i redeployed to iraq for 18mont yes not 15 long story i got hurt an IED that was under a bring and when it when off the down force just crushed us and i was having to much back trouble to were a OTV built proof vest and plates so I was put in the supply room for 6 months do to our supply sgt got nocked up and was being taken out of the country so i filled in even with my bad spelling my CO was a former Ranger and an MP so he understood and as much as i messed up paper work he never got mad my cleats would double cheat anything i had written but most of the time i just copped and posted so not much to mess up I was sat with 3 clearks i just lead them even after i got home the army still did not fined me unfit the made me change jobs I guess a few medals and some purple hears they cut you some slack the recalled me to human resources who ever decided that was a real frakin g genus a guy who as trouble reading and writing and a bad back who cold not sit for more then 30mins with out standing up put behind a desk at on a training base after almost 2 yrs and hardly being able to walk I ask my doc for a MEB i was done so after just shy of 15yrs i was medfly retired at 100% disabled no were was i found incompetent quit the opasit beside my writing skills you would not know there was anything wrong with me till i told you I dont tell people about my back or pain when i am around stager i just fake it despite how i feel. so to answer the question about gun and ptsd unless you are found incompetent per the VA disability rating guidelines you will not loose your rights to own a gun the one ones who can to that is the federal coverment unless you most a crime in fact there are several cases going to the supreme court because the va has over step its boundary by taking your gun right away with out a hearing or cort trail it violates the consatuation I may not read well but i can read just very slowly and since i am not guiding or making bait to take out other vets with ptsd fishing i have lots of time on my hand wich is why i want to make my gun as good and it can be if i am going to shot i want to shoot the best i can thats just me am not happy with 5/8 grouping at a100yrd i want them all touching or almost touching the further you shot the more that gap grows but hat just me

I do thank you guys for the understanding why i am the way i am and the more you guys pass it along when you see someone jump on me for it the better the thread will be despite my gibberish no it was exile 5/8 on 3 shot groups and a little over on the 4th i may have the target in my truck if i do i will post a pick i am not sure if my son tossed them out that shot group was out at a fully supported bench rest not off the by pod or anything not me holding it on a sand bag but out of a secured bench rest at the rang yes i want to do it so i just dont know what all the stuff is called I am having the trigger redone wends after a hunting trip i dont like that 5/12 lb trigger it way to hard to pull guys i dont have any thing els to do and i like shooting i found a member who is going to help me get started reloading i cant not keep afford buying factory amo he had a had loader he is going to sell me with the 243 die set and have lost every thing els but a trimmer wich i will get one like i said i know a lot of guys we say leave it alone like my buddy did if it int for my back i would keep with my 30-30 or 30-06 but they have just a little to much kickoff me to shoot well i keep thinking this is going to hurt then shoot like crap not i am confident a gain at i am not going to hurt my self i can drill them in there. thanks for all the advise and thank you for under standing about my condition i dont mean to write so long it just hard to put what i want down in words

so your saying because i had a head injury and have a horrible memory i am not responsible you do know that the VA has a lilt book the use to rate you you can acetyl down load it online and see every contain ratable and what the criteria is for that condition and what the diablitly rating would be on you severity of the condition the only way the VA can make it ill eagle for me to own a gun is for me to be a danger to my self or any one els or be found incompetent even someone who is found finaculy incopatednt will have those right recoced wich is why the case is going to the supper cort next year someone is sueing over that rating being bad with money does not mean the are not responsible like having ptsd doest meant you are a crazy nut job if we ever met you would not know there was a thing wrong with me unless i told you. I have a chl and carry a snub nose 38spl i have not ones ever pulled it out on someone no matter how anger i get. i am quick to punch someone but to shot someone No I have shot enough people in my life and live with late nightly so in order for me to shot you you would have to really threaten me or my family like anyone else here so to say that because i have memory problems and dont read well and write worse then a 2nd grader does not mean i am any less content then anyone els here ever done here know gun have responablitys and every time we take am at a game animal we take responablity for that shot if me miss and 3/4 mils down the road it his someone we take responsibility for the shot and the consequence of that shot but to say nice we have ptsd we are incapable of the is insane i have seen way more jerk offs with guns who didn't have a think wrong with them other the a case of assholeites every one i know has ptsd every one they are all fully resizable loving family men I deal with guys with ptsd almost every day in the spring and summer I take gounded vets cat fishing for free and guid for them and make bait for cats in between every penny i make goes in to taking goes with ptsd out fishing or some just want to go for a boat ride being on the water you can relax and not worry about anyone you are able to just not worry and be so hyper vigilant while your there and they just want a break so i take them and there family out on fishing trips not once have i eve had an issue with them it always the paint custers who are the problem so just because we have ptsd we are not a threat to anyone not even our selfs but most of us will get ager quick but that dense mean we will pull a gun and shoot someone to think other wise is foolish me are just like every one els but we are more vigulet to our surrounding depressed have anxiety nightmares every night some cry inexpertly when alone that were does it say we are all nut jobs going around wave a gun at people most of use dont want any problems and so we walk a straight line so we dont have to deal with the police to get in trouble all those shooting on tv are not from guy with ptsd they are from guys who had normal lives and snapped we are just as callable of making decisions and woking up to them for our mistakes and by all means know what it is like to have to live with taking a life and seeing what can happened when a gun is in the wrong hands most impurely 99% can shot and hit a target so why should we not be allowed to own a gun or hunt last weekend i was with 12 guys all with ptsd or purple hearts on a hunt not one person did anything dangerous with a fire army in fact the were the most carful bunch of guys i have meet in a long time there was on axadently flagging even with an unload gun the only incident came from a guid who held in gun in is folded arms and was pointing it at all our legs till some one told him to stop pointing it at them so who is the iresposable one here the guys with ptsd or the guid who is suppose to be well adjusted and normal

Regardless of the law, good judgement suggests one should think very carefully about shooting with or loaning to those with mental considerations or with SSRI prescriptions. While it's perfectly legal, I wouldn't drink a beer in front of an alcoholic, either. When in doubt, exercise restraint and sensible judgement.
I agree but let's not assume that everyone who suffers from PTSD is going to go on a shooting spree if you loan them a gun. Every person is different along with their symptoms. Apparently Texas Buckeye thinks otherwise but it's in no way against the law.


First of all guys, I don't think everyone with PTSD is going to go on a shooting rampage, never said that and don't assume I did anywhere in my posts. I did give the guy some valid advice, don't loan your rifles to someone who is potentially unstable. We all know (maybe we don't all know this but sapper I would think you know this being the military more than others) that people with PTSD can snap at a stimulus and have unstable moments...if it was found he gave a gun to such a person and said person knew about the issue before hand and something bad happens because of said weapon, that constitutes liability in any jurisdiction.

Also, I apologize for the mistake that it is illegal for people with ptsd to have a gun, but it could be illegal for them to have a conceal carry license or carry a concealed handgun...pursuant to texas code 411.172 based on the diagnosis of a psychiatric disorder.

My bad guys.


I still don't understand why it was remotely pertinent to the conversation at hand. Unless you say the same thing to every person who buys a new gun.

it feels good with the 243 and am happy with it i got invited to a game ranch tomorrow with my son so i hope to try it out yes i have dont my research and for the savage axes it is not income for people to be shooting sub mao right out of the box again I was using a fixed bench rest and am sure after this weekend and have the trigger customized it ill do a bit better and then the barrel will be glass bedded. I have watched some you tube videos of guys making 1000-1400 yrs shots with 243 i would not think it possible they might be professional snipers and sharp shooters but they are still doing it. I am h

I think Sapper said it best, on the ptsd issue unless you lived it or been there or lived our lives dont assume anything about someone with it most import dont assume anything about me or my mental state we have never meet all you know about me is i suffered a head injury have ptsd and a bad back

I am pleased that the recoil is manageable and I think once you do the trigger you should test it before you bed it. You may be surprised but what do I know. My FCP-10 isn't even sighted in an I have had it since late 2011. My best wishes to you guy's on the upcoming hunt Boss. The PTSD issue shouldn't have even been brought up in my opinion but I think Sapper has it covered to the T cheers
