Quoting: Anonymous Coward 587031Good idea! I recall (my age shows here) BATF used to have a display at their HQ which included thompsons which had been torched into pieces and dumped into the ocean off NJ. Then recovered by criminals who welded them back together and machined them into working again. They also had a 9mm submachine gun made in a prison, from water pipe and scrap. Zip guns are crude homemade guns often used in crime. Paper-trail* WWI & WWII & Ko9rean War surplus guns were dumped cheaply before the 1968 Gun Control Act began that paper trail. Millions of guns, or more like tens of millions of undocumented guns are in America. Burglaries, and kids selling daddy's gun for drugs put them on the illegal market often. I got called into a local gun shop to identify a 'whatzit' being offerred for sale. It was a German WWII vintage STG44 assault rifle. Full auto. Gun shop owner sent them out. Call the cops? I asked him. They know where my shop is. I don't want it torched. That gun is out there, for sale to anybody with cash. |

BTW, does anyone find that using a laser really adds anything to their handgun? I've always looked at them as nothing more than a cool toy to show off to friends. I like mine. It works great, i can make follow up shots much faster not having to realign sights. At 25 meters i can empty the mag into a 3-4 inch group almost as fast as i can pull the trigger. Also from a real world perspective you dont need to bring your weapon all the way up to your line of sight to shoot accurately. Im pretty tough on my gun, it goes for 4 wheeler rides. gets wet alot, stays wet a while. fired 3k rounds maybe thru it and laser has not gone out of zero. Batteries are still the original. I like the CT activation instead of on off, you only squeeze it when you want it so it cant be traced back to you till your ready you use it. I trust it much more then my open nightsites.

This is why each and every one of the deaths Thomas inflicted was ruled a justifiable homicide.< from link article page 3 [link to findarticles.com] >Tactical Lessons Some observers in the gun world thought Thomas would have been better served to carry his hardware on his person instead of stashing the guns in strategic locations in the shop The theory is that when the gun is on your person. it is always where you can reach it, and also simultaneously secured from unauthorized personnel. The criticism has some validity; In his third gunfight, if Thomas could have quick-drawn from his hip instead of having to stretch and reach for his SIG, he might not have taken that first gunshot to the neck, which came so close to killing him. We each bring our own preferences and habits to these topics.< from link article page 3 |
| himself (OP) User ID: 650717 United States04/05/2009 04:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | >Practice is critical. Turning Point filmed Thomas at a shooting range, firing rapidly from a Weaver stance. Kirchner notes that he constantly practiced quick-draw of his guns from their resting places. There can be no doubt that both of these practices helped Lance Thomas survive his gunfights. Firepower was a factor in all but the first, three-shot incident. The next three averaged more than a dozen shots by Thomas per incident. Add in the first shooting, and it still comes out to at least 10 shots per gunfight fired by the defender, 19 shots in one incident. Once the scope of the predictable threat became evident to him, Thomas was wise indeed to upgrade his firepower from the five-shot, snubnose revolver he started with. Some critics-- usually ensconced safely in armchairs-- opine that five shots should be enough for five perpetrators. Well, well. One of Thomas antagonists apparently thought that four shots would be enough for one Rolex dealer: he shot Thomas four times. Thomas sucked up the four gunshot wounds and then proceeded to kill the man who shot him. Others might suggest, "He just didn't use the right ammo." Really? Unimpressed with the effects of conventional .38 Special ammo in his first shooting, he went to the Glaser Safety Slug, and was underwhelmed with its performance the next time, out in the real world. He shot men multiple times with 9mm and .45 automatics and with .357 Magnum revolvers and had to shoot them again and again. Sometimes, against dangerous men in the heat of battle, nothing less than multiple serious gunshot wounds will short-out the attack. If we learn nothing else from Lance Thomas' four gunfights, we cannot miss learning this.< [link to findarticles.com] My thanks to AC#544249 Thread: AMAZING Story Rolex shop owner has multiple gunfights with robbers over years, kills many bad guys wins all gunfights!!!!! |

Lots and lots of insane shooting stories lately, sometimes twice a day, here in the States in the mainstream media. Of course I have to think there is an agenda. Owning a gun reminds me of owning pitbulls. I've known several pitbull owners who's dogs are as sweet as pie. The owners are good people. Which brings to mind the guns that kill people. It's the damn owners who have that mindset of killing. But you already knew that. hbh |

| himself (OP) User ID: 655766 United States04/12/2009 10:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ok, Since it's at several websites now. Here is the link to how to win a gunfight: [link to www.pointshooting.com] >Here is what the US Army says about that in Field Manual 3-23.35 Combat Training With Pistols M9 AND M11 (June,2003): "Everyone has the ability to point at an object." "When a soldier points, he instinctively points at the feature on the object on which his eyes are focused. An impulse from the brain causes the arm and hand to stop when the finger reaches the proper position." "When the eyes are shifted to a new object or feature, the finger, hand, and arm also shift to this point." "It is this inherent trait that can be used by a soldier to rapidly and accurately engage targets." With P&S, you engage your natural ability to point, which allows you to AUTOMATICALLY get COM hits, and even while moving.< And with practice you hit without aiming out to about 40' Well beyond typical gunfight range. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 603027 United States04/14/2009 09:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | An article to show someone with no real world self defense experience can spout absolute BS [link to xavierthoughts.blogspot.com] > It is true that a face full of .22 ammo will cause most attackers to cease their activities. It is also true that the .22 has taken more lives than any other caliber.< True, so far > The argument for "a faceful of .22" holds just as true as the argument for a faceful of .40S&W. What is lost on many novices is the actual dynamics of self defense. With a .22 pistol, it would take seven well aimed shots to inject the same lead volume of one bullet of .45ACP. Those seven shots take time, and the cumulative effect may not be reached until minutes or even hours later. People have been shot in the face with a .22 and lived. While you are squeezing off your second and third shot, your attacker will not be just standing there waiting for more. They will be continuing the attack, or making it a lot more difficult to shoot them again. < That article is a 'what if'. Those seven shots can be delivered in seconds and I promise you head shots get the assailant's undivided attention. But, I've seen a man hit 3 times in the head with a cop's .357 who stayed alive and functioning for nearly an hour. [link to xavierthoughts.blogspot.com] |
