Yes, can't wait until some habib draws a weapon in a Starbucks around here. It will be over before the 911 call, conceal & carry is the antidote to this in America and terrorist will have to find some other way to deal with armed citizens. When I see these 'no gun' signs on any business, I don't return to that establishment unless they have a drive through :)

My Grom buddy just tested a chest mount and he is going back to the handlebar.

Remember though most videos are shared on YouTube which is the weakest link in the sharing chain. The 4K vids tend to be choppy even on the faster lines and laptops. 1080P is about it unless you just view your own videos and even with 1080P you have to dumb the settings down so they don't get pixelated on conversion. YT limits the bitrates.

We have a high participation rate for conceal carry in my state and the perp like that would be swiss cheese in a matter of seconds. Except for the druggies who are out of their minds most of the time robberies and car jackings have plummeted since CCW has picked up. It may seem like a step back to the wild west at times but nothing has had this dramatic of an effect on crime and there have been very few accidents.

I just found out that adding a few stainless washers to the bottom of the mount on top of the dampener really helps to settle vibration by adding mass. I will have to try that too.

How come when I tell my wife I love her she now asks "Ok what did you buy now?" :lol: :lol: :lol:

I sure wish we had CCW in Canada. Here we have a policy of dial 911 and die. Then we immortalize the perp in way of remembering what they did, who they are and why we need a long gun registry to reduce gun crime. Just one of my sore points.

900 million firearms in circulation and climbing every time there is an incident. Yes we shoot ourselves up now and then but what outside force could ever suppress such overwhelming hidden firepower throughout our streets and neighborhoods.

I wish politicians in Poland would be on our side and allow people to have firearms. Our history shows that having a weapon in every household is a must. You know, we are between Russia and Germany...

Also chest mount if it's not mounted high becomes crotch cam given we typically slouch a bit on the seat.

I just saw an advertisement for an assault weapon with two 30 round clips for $500. Come on people, why does anyone need an assault weapon for hunting??! And 60 rounds? There would be very little of that deer left if someone hunted with that. I have no problem with the right to carry arms, but I think the assault weapon has no place in our society. Several of the school shootings involved an assault weapon, and too many people died.

No body take this bait please... Mel lets just agree it's a slippery slope, they will ban one here and then immediately ban one over there and we all know that's exactly the plan and how it starts. They are semi automatic regardless of their color or design... only military and criminals have machine guns. We don't call them assault weapons anymore for obvious reason now they are marketed as modern sporting rifles. The NRA has got our backs on this.

In Canada we have 30 round magazines, but we are safe because we have them pinned at 5 rounds. So we can't get into to much trouble. :lol:

I just re-read the post, I think I took the bait. Sorry :oops:

But you have my hero Kevin Vickers Canadian Sergeant-At-Arms 8) With grey hairs that can roll out from behind a pillar and cap an armed terrorist like that who needs high capacity magazines. Dam good man! We need some more like him.
