Loc: Moving to the Red State of Utah soon!
Do people who are pro-gun control actually think crime will be eliminated? Like states with total non-smoking laws--do they eliminate heart disease and lung cancer? Of course not! But the people who want to be known for 'saving the world' will go on--trying to make the world tragedy-free. Ridiculous!
Even if he'd had a gun, one against two are long odds.

That's true, trained policemen only hit a live target 1 out of 5 shots

Not always. It depends on too many factors, sk**l and experience are not always the most imprtant. The tactical situation, the sk**l, experience, and physical and mental state of the protagonists, and sometimes just plain old luck all play a part. The size and importance of the part depends on the situation, and can change in the blink of an eye.

How did you arrive at this conclusion? I would dispute it.
Diane Feinstein , while surrounded by armed guards , said we have too many guns . I maintain we have too many criminals .

There was one other condition that you are not considering. What if the wife was armed and trained. I would not hesitate to shoot if someone I loved was being threatened! And gentlemen/ladies, I am trained and qualified.
Your kidding "Right Wing News" this is a c*******t rag that needs to be doused in gasoline and set on fire!

It was also in the New York Daily News. Is that also a Right Wing News?

Wanna bet I can't hit two targets in under 2 seconds with my pistol?? The only thing wrong with the odds this man faced was that he could not have a gun to defend himself. Would you rather go against two with your bare hands, or with a gun? This is a typical statement from people that don't know how to handle a gun.

Hello Mr. Ed,
I have no doubt that you could do just what you say, hit both in < 2 sec!! :thumbup: :thumbup:
The chances of hitting your target is dependent on your state of mind more then anything else. IF you are going to carry a gun and IF you plan to use it, then you shoot to k**l. There is no such thing as shooting to wound and if you are not prepared to k**l someone, then you are not ready to carry a gun. They are NEVER to be used to try and scare someone. There is only one time pulling a gun is right. If you or someone else is in danger of life and limb, then you are justified in pulling a gun. If you ever pull a gun, it is for one reason ONLY and that is to shoot someone. There is no single shots, no double taps, no nothing but shooting until the target drops. Those that are taught the double taps are taught wrong and it could get you k**led.
Will you be scared when you get into a gun fight, you better believe it. You are going to be so scared you will not be able to think. That is where training comes into play. If you are not trained, then you have no business carrying a gun until you are PROPERLY trained. Going out in your back 40 and firing a few shots is NOT training.
Do I have training? Yep and with a revolver no less. Would I ever carry a revolver, not a chance. That is one of the reasons a police officer misses so often. I carry a pistol and would not think of carrying anything else.
For those that do not know, a revolver is a wheel gun that holds 6 rounds. A pistol is what they call an automatic and has a magazine and can hold 7 to 15 rounds.
