I still don't understand why you're...Gene,<br /><br />I still don't understand why you're so angry and hateful towards so many people.<br /><br />I only carry standard capacity magazines. One in the well and one in my 511's magazine pocket. I've almost always got a pocket trauma kit with me and always have the much more complete kit in my vehicle.<br /><br />Regarding distance shots I don't understand where they come into a self-defense conversation. If there's a long distance between me and the actor I'm trying to escape I'm not shooting, I'm escaping.

Oh and ceramic strike plates... And almost forget about you trauma kit with quik clot.<br /><br />Let's see and Irdium phone for calling in arty fire to cover your movement. <br /><br />And how will you alert the QRF to your pos without a radio?<br /><br />I for can't wait until everyday in the US is just like Iraq thanks NRA!Grung_e_Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01894879088472559055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293433952655399056.post-63615708014126925892014-02-10T22:28:58.683-06:002014-02-10T22:28:58.683-06:00And if the situation is one ala the D.C.

Naval Yard shooting or the infamous LA Bank Heist shootout, where the shooter(s) can be seen from a distance, I don't fancy your odds with a Glock vs. a semi-automatic rifle.</i><br /><br />I completely missed this line when I read this post over the weekend.<br /><br />As a civilian my job is to save my own ass and let the cops take care of the shooter. That being said, if I'm trying to escape I would feel much better about my chances with a Glock than with nothing.<br /><br />Make a wrong turn, get backed into a corner, run into a dead end, etc... If the man with the shotgun has me trapped I would much rather try to take him down with a handgun than try to bat away buckshot with my hands.<br /><br />BTW, the naval yard shooter was carrying a shotgun and not a rifle.ChickenHammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10228053200668293249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293433952655399056.post-80482979597045096312014-02-10T05:58:49.254-06:002014-02-10T05:58:49.254-06:00BadTux & Jerry Critter,

They have roughly 3 million actual living members, of whom at least 1 million are members because the NRA scared them into thinking Obama wants to take their guns away. Without the scare tactics, their membership revenue would drop by more than 1/3rd and Mr. LaPierre might have to take a pay cut. Can't have that, can we?<br /><br />- Badtux the Snarky Penguin<br />BadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.com
