"Unassigned is an officer of the law, so yeah he would be in awkward positions and be behind cover while on the range."

I also do kids parties, bachelorette parties and bat mitzvahs, lol.

" Didn't you say you also want to carry a pistol cal. carbine as well as a back up pistol?
How much ammo are you going to carry and what do you think that will weigh?"

The carbine that I want weighs 4 lbs fully loaded, maybe even a little less in fact if I can get an SBR version, and the backup pistol weighs 10.7 ounces.

As for ammo, I am not putting an upper number on it. I would carry four 20 round mags for the rifle (plus one in the gun), two 5 round mags for the shotgun (plus one...), three 30 round mags for the carbine (plus one...), and a couple of preloaded cylinders for the backup pistol. Beyond that, I will also care as much spare ammo for each weapon as I can before weight becomes infeasible. Again, as I understand it, considerably less than the combat loadout of many military servicemen.

Honestly, a feudal system is quite realistic. People would want protection, which was one of the big benefits of feudalism. Knights were essentially like the guys on the football teams who slam smaller students into lockers, only on a payroll to do so and given iron/steel weapons. The chivalric code was put in place for a reason.

During the crusades, knights showed horrific behavior, such as raping, murdering, and eating babies (I wish I was joking), which isn't very becoming of Christains, and may have affected both friendly and enemy morale in such a way the the Solcarens won. Thus, in 1292, the chivalric code was created, and expected to be observed by all knights. Rules:

1. Believe the Church's teachings and observe all the Church's directions. 2. Defend the Church. 3. Respect and defend all weaknesses. 4. Love your country. 6. Show no mercy to the Infidel. Do not hesitate to make war with them. 7. Perform all your feudal duties as long as they do not conflict with the laws of God. 8. Never lie or go back on one's word. 9. Be generous to everyone. 10. Always and everywhere be right and good against evil and injustice.

Getting back on topic, the point of any feudal society is to convince people that you're being helpful. Did one zombie almost bite little Joey? Slaughter that zombie and many more, then play up the heroism of the people who killed them. Always have an ear close to the ground, in order to keep your people content. Give people a target their hatred and anger. Public executions of people who everyone hates (say, a slaver who as been kidnapping innocent people) would help keep things in check, and were also used successfully in the middle ages.

Also, because this is a discussion about the middle ages, I must mention vikings. Make sure you a have at least some highly mobile forces to counter your enemies and respond to threats, such as lightning raids.

"One of the many problems that I see with a lot of different guru's that push the idea of becoming a better street fighter is they fail to mention, or utilize, the use of clothing as a hand hold. Getting a hold of someone's collar and being able to direct their head and pull them off balance is always a good thing in my opinion. I once saw a friend choke out some dude he was being attacked by with the guys own hoodie. "

Well, one of them actually does.

When holding your arms above the other person's shoulders (trying to gain superiority), reach beyond their shoulders, grabbing their clothes as far down as possible, and pull them over the other guy's head. And then you've got leverage over the head. And where the head goes, the body follows. I'll try and see if I can get the link.

"Hey, nearly empty bar, this looks like an awesome place to recklessly play with fire, paying no attention to the spilled high-proof booze and/or my own personal safety! Maybe while I'm at it, I should stick forks into all of the electrical sockets and throw bullets into the fire which is currently spreading rapidly."

Okay add me to the simmering stew.

I work a 600pm to 600am shift driving a fuel delivery truck.
Since my truck loads at designated federally regulated terminals I'm not allowed to carry any type of protection and especially a firearm.
My gear/weapons are in my POV in our satellite yard. Which more than likely won't be more than a 15-30min drive from over 80% of my delivery points. But my home is more than an hour away in good traffic.
I have printed out maps with per scouted routes to bypass all most all traffic issues. Bit these will easily double my drive time in my POV.

I would call home to tell the family to hunker down till I get home.
I would then head to the yard and drain whatever gas I can acquire. Even a so called empty trailer will retain over five gallons easy and I can short my last load enough to top off my POV and put over another 30gals in 3gal jugs from the shop.
Top off all my water jugs and take a 5gal water jug from the office. I will also liberate both first aid stations for extra supplies.
I will take every dirt track county road and crossover I've scouted to reach home. After driving most of these roads in both my POV and work trucks for over 15yrs and over 2 million miles safe driving for over 25yrs on some of the worst roads and in the most congested cities....bet I will reach my destination.

Once home we will hunker down while adding whatever fuel remains from work. By the time I reach home my wife's whole family should be gathered and prepping for the worst.

After getting the flu symptoms we will isolate families from each other and sub isolate within each family group.
Will take the normal "flu" and "cold" medications since we have no clue what will or won't work at this point.
On the stocked fuel plus what I liberated we should have power enough for a month or two with rationed usage

Nice family heirloom...... I'm sure most people would be proud to have such a gun to show and pass down to the next generation. I'm glad you shared it with us, and now brag I "know" a guy that owns such a gem.
The "filsdogs" of the world not withstanding, hope it has a long line of "LJ" family ownership and may everyone of them have friends and family that cherish it as much as you do.
If you ever get some better pics please post, I know I'm not alone at saying I would love some great close ups on the great work and features this gun has.

Again....sweet gun and thanks for sharing it with us.

Oh ya....I would like to know exactly where you live and when nobody will be home..........jk ;)

"Seems ridiculous as I look over at a wood/glass cabinet. Has 2 loaded pistols sitting ON it, some small boxes of ammo on top, key always in the door lock, loaded mag next to one of the rifles inside, and shells on the stock of one of the shotguns."

LOL - If you were Canadian, I count nine chargeable offenses in this part alone.

One count for the insecure cabinet (wood/glass rather than metal)
Two counts for the loaded pistols
Two counts for the improperly stored pistols
Three counts of improper ammo storage
And one count of improperly secured firearms (key in the lock)

Add on who knows how many more once you factor in the long guns lying around the room.

I'm with LJ. Happy Father's Day, guys!
Seeing how I'm only 14, I'm obviously not a father.
However, I've always wanted a child to give me fathers day cards!
Can I adopt one of you guys? :)
