Wat does "low capacity" mean?

Somebody say Mark Knopfler?

Add me to the "guitard" roster.

I knew there were a few of you.

Truth be told, since I dismembered my band half a decade ago I might have picked up a bass 20 or 30 times at most. Unless you're working on a specific song you're writing or picking out or a technique you're practicing, sitting around plucking a bass is kinda boring. Especially for the people around you. Musically speaking these days I am more of a guitard than a basstard. I've usually got an acoustic 6 string or a Telecaster in my hands, depending on if the wife's around or not and I can crank an amp up. Either that or mixing for my friend's band, which I occasionally do.


For the record, I got my first bass at 8 years old. My dad was a bass player ( also a Bob) before me. So I cut my teeth there. By the time I was 12 I was in a band, but I was playing guitar. A 1976 SG through a 1961 Fender Brown Deluxe to be exact. Both of which I still have. Alas, my friend was better than me on guitar and by the time I was 15 we were playing Black Sabbath, Rush and Yes in bars for money and I had a 1974 Rickenbacker 4001 in my hands, which I also still have.

what the XO said at the club meeting one time, basically echoes yours.

he said, "i'd be very disappointed, if it took anyone in this club MORE than 10 rounds to end the threat"

Well, I completely disagree agree with your XO opinion on if it took more then 10 rounds, what if the threat is behind cover……. there can various reasons why you may need more then 10 rounds to ward off a threat. Seems to me he is leaning towards the lefts claim on you don’t need more then 10 rounds and no high capacity mags, like @HansGruber said make sure your shots count.

actually, we have several police officers at the club, many of which are "high ranking" (which includes police chiefs), and the club has (of course) been a supporter of the 2A rights.

the reason being that if you are good at shooting, then it should take no more than 10 rounds to put down the threat. (shot placement)

he is a member of the shooting league, and many members there (not me) belong to that league, and they usually win 1st place every year, this past year however, they came in 2nd place

so he KNOWS his shooters, that's why he said if it took anyone more than 10 rounds....

yes, i do agree, there can be a "mob" of attackers, but would they all stick around, or run off, seeing one of thier own take a dirt nap..??

anyway, no, you would be wrong, about his "leaning".....

Ok, maybe I miss understood then, my bad, I know when I worked at my sheriff dept, most of the deputies didn’t know diddley about firearms, seriously, I don’t know how they even got through the academy, and then qualified with a gun, most also didn’t agree that civilians should have weapons, only military and law enforcement, that’s was my reason for the leaning part of my post.

Also, don’t get me wrong on the deputies, it was usually the young guys that felt like this, the seasoned ones didn’t feel like that, I am not putting down any law enforcement personnel, it’s just till you worked around some of them, you get to know how they act and felt on certain things. The deputy who did the qualifications, we became real good friends, him and another deputy are the ones I took my CCW class from.

i know about "some" miraculously qualifying at the range during academy training.

i suppose, as long as they hit some part of the target, they qualified..??

in the city/town that the public range is at, the town cops very often practice there, for thier qualifications.

they just leave when done.

at the club, some of the cops i have met, wanna shoot my guns, and they are dying to let others shoot thiers.

some have a collection of the darndest guns i have ever seen.

i find it "strange" that some LEO's think one way, about guns in our hands, and other LEO's embrace it...

Sheriff Judd comes to mind, being law and order and pro 2A.
