I'm sure it was frustrating to see police appear to do nothing. Their presence was at least a first step.
My take on this:
a) The police were not trained for this kind of violence.
b) They were waiting for their version of SWAT or the commandos that showed up later.
or
c) They were...
That might be good news for the consumer. If Uncle Sam (probably a large customer) stops ordering, wolf might step up exports to the civi market to keep the numbers up. Could mean a drop in prices from Wolf. Could also mean a rise from other manufacturers if they devote capacity to the displaced...
Keep an eye on your dog too, They might be looking to steal your pooch, not unheard of in some urban settings.
Dogs are stolen all the time around Vegas, its kind of a sick way to make a buck, but some people will steal almost anything.
You afraid one piggy is going to do in the human race. Or are you uncomfortable with the knowledge that there are animals out there that might not fear humans.
The desire to "disarm" a potential predator that knows it has the upper hand with an unarmed person, sounds strikingly similar to...
Here in Nevada we currently have to be in immediate threat, and shooting someone in the back opens up to a wrongful death prosecution; However, the statement "I fired when the attacker appeared to be reaching for a weapon" followed by the statement "I was afraid for my life" should be a suitable...
How B'out:
"Cowboy Action"
Quick Draw
Hollow Point
Fifty BMG
Full Mag
Tight Group
Target Rich Environment
Bull Barrel
Hammer - Trigger - Sear
Over-Under
Double Barrel
Sabot Slugger
Primer Pocket
Buck Shot
Wad Cutter
Just a few off the top of my head.
Think of how a blowback action works. As the powder is burning the expanding gas forces the bullet down the barrel and the chamber pressure initiates the cartridge pushing on the slide, the bullet exits the barrel and the combustion ends, the inertia initiated during combustion continues and...
I think this should be theoretically possible with blowback style actions (it might not have even been done successfully).
If the cartridge has a properly designed nozzle to achieve correct chamber pressure, you should be able to simulate the pressure response to a normally fired round. This is...
Mission to Burma:
That's When I Reach For My Revolver
Once I had my heroes
Once I had my dream
But all of that is changed now
They've turned things inside out
The truth is not that comfortable, no
And mother taught us patience
The virtues of restraint
And father taught us boundaries
Beyond...
Guns of Brixton
One of my favorites:
Guns of Brixton by The CLASH
When they kick out your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun
When the law break in
How you gonna go?
Shot down on the pavement
Or waiting in death row
You can crush us
You...
Yes Embrace your inner sheep. Yessss, and bleat really loud while you huddle with your group... and throw something at the gunman.
Hmmmm throw something, fight back with a weapon they say?
At least they are beginning to recognize the need for a self defense mentality.
Its only a matter...
I have a few ideas that would reduce both accidental and deliberate deaths associated with firearms:
1) The school system needs too teach both reason and accountability. I'm not sure enough people are learning cause and effect relationships effectively enough. Along with effective...
I would like to formally apologize if my statements offended anyone. I was posting late at night, and upon rereading my post I can see that the point I was trying to make didn't come through quite as intended, and was in fact quite offensive to our servicemen and women.
I would especially...
Have to throw in my $.02
Actually our "professional army" is mainly comprised of the dregs of society - those who see "soldiering" as an opportunity for advancement. A good portion of the enlisted masses would otherwise be seen as rednecks, hillbillies, simple laborers, or members of every...
Murders per 100k people is an example of lying with statistics. You can easily play that game if you turn it around and compare murders per firearm or murders per handgun.
The last time I worked up the numbers, I think it was a handgun in the UK is 5 times more likely to be used to commit a...
I would say keep the 30-06 rifles and add the SPS to your collection. It will allow you to cover two of the most common calibers. I look at it this way, you can always find .308 or 30-06. Being able to shoot what ever is more convenient at the time is worth the redundancy.
I have heard that...
You could try one of these:
Buck Metro available from REI.
Its actually a bottle opener with a ridiculously small blade (1.125 inches) that folds out and locks. Can be operated with one hand. I got one for my brother, he works in a grocery store meat market, he loves it.
Just remember to...
This is actually one of my biggest legitimate fears.
In Las Vegas the rate of home invasion is roughly on the same order as the national rate for errors in Police Raids where the wrong house is raided.
So it means I have a roughly 50/50 chance that someone breaking down my door is either...
"I've got one word for you, Plastics...."
Funny the surprised reactions to .45 ACP fmj not penetrating 3/4 in of plastic. If the OP had said it was 3/4 in of solid Kevlar we would have all been surprised the .357 penetrated. I got news for ya fellers, Kevlar is just another Dupont plastic...
