I have read about this shooting in other articles. The jury believed that the shooter, since he was a Scout Leader and had basic first aid skills, could have done more for the victim. The defense could have reputed the difference between basic first aid and gun shot wounds, where internal...

The .380 is better than nothing but the greater velocity of the 9mm is definitely a better option for those who can withstand the slight increase felt recoil.

One of the top brands from customer reviews is the GE brand and they are available at Walmart also.

They are available from several different manufactures on Amazon.

I’m glad I kept all my Coleman camping items. Several lanterns that run on propane and the Coleman fuel. I also have a few candle lanterns, where the candle is spring loaded to keep it in the proper position. Each candle can last for about two nights and is bright enough to move around the house...

As a retired LEO I have had to testify in court on firearms issues. Unlike the folks here, most prosecutors and defense lawyers have little to no actual firearms experience. Worse, most juniors do not either. The juniors tend to look at the prosecutor as an “expert” who is well trained and...

When we first started to date my girlfriend had me take a two page questionnaire. Strange, each page only had one question each. I looked at the first question and answered “no,” I then looked at the second question and also answered “no.” Finally she said we could date. The first question...

Brings back good memories.

The Uzi and the Thompson are two good examples of the open bolt design.

I noticed there was no mention of range or down time to recharge. Are they practical for the modern battlefield?

Nice, I wish my girlfriend had a pair like those.

Came across this information that was new to me. duck://player/h4tJtfA7qM0

Seems like some things are universal. We had one female that had to be written out of the Academy as she wasn’t able to read and understand English enough to understand the curriculum or take tests. They then tried to put her in the radio room answering phone calls. Yep, you guessed it, she...

I agree. Over the years I have collected several Smith and Wesson revolvers. All of them have been flawless. I have no idea how a custom center pistol ever gets out of the factory, let alone having to be sent back three times. Also, the Crimson Trace optic has a shroud that they recommend to...

We forget about other calibers outside the usual conversation. One of my favorite guns is an Sig model 239 in 357 Sig. As an aluminum frame gun it is heavier then the newer polymer frame guns out there, but the slight increase weight helps the hot Sig round to shoot close to the 9mm rounds. The...

My Department was over 700 sworn officers. My point was why take any chances at all. We already had instances of husband and wife teams going out for recreational shooting and having one spouse load the wrong ammo in their spouses gun. As for “theoretical,” why take any chances. Why introduce a...

Dang Wirenut, you bring back great memories. I had one and had many hours of fun shooting tin cans in the woods.

That would be ok for civilians, but for police, in a gunfight where an officer may give a magazine of ammo to another officer, the result could be fatal. We actually showed this to our recruits. The 9mm will fire once in the 40 S&W. But in the large chamber of the 40, the 9mm case will over...

I agree with so much as what has been said in this thread. Civilians and police officers carry firearms differently. The civilian wants a smaller firearm for concealment; the police officer carries his/her’s openly and therefor can carry a larger and more powerful caliber. When I retired as a...

I have the one out of the Performance Center which is ported. It is my favorite carry piece. I put a rubber, over the grip, grip adapter and it shoots like a 9mm.
