The number one rule of firearms...don't point you gun at anything you don't want to kill!

And if you do, the target should have half a heartbeat left to live. No mindless ranting, no waving the gun about. If the sidearm clears leather, align the sights and send rounds downrange.

Shoot to stop the threat and in the words of Ivan Drago; "If he dies. He dies."

BTW speaking of shooting to stop the threat, I like how Rittenhouse handled Little Binger trying to get him to say he intended to kill those guys.

Rumor has it. It's 2 jurors holding things up.

:shakes head:

LMAO, My father-in-law and his wife were at my house visiting while I was away. He is a Vietnam vet and has been to Front Site for their security training and what not. Well he asked my wife if I had left her any protection and she said yes, the gun is in the nightstand next to the bed. So he asked her if she knew how to handle the gun and she yes point it at the target and pull the trigger. He then gave her general instructions. When I returned the gun was in its place but there was no round in the chamber. So when he saw me he asked me a couple of questions. Do I keep my gun loaded and why don't I have a double stack magazine. I did skip a beat and said why wouldn't keep a round in the chamber, I don't play TV and warn you that I have a gun by sliding the rack. They just get two in the chest and one in the head. As for the single stack it just the one I have loaded with hollow points. If the gun fight last longer than ten rounds, I have time to get to my AR. I also let him know that I had three other magazines that are double stacked and ready to go.

If I am using a weapon for self protection, it is always locked loaded. It was that way when I had kids and I thought them about gun safety before they had a chance to be curious about guns. They were just part of our life which came with rules and discipline.

Very much a rumor considering the source but it does make sense considering the jury wanting to go over evidence again.

I’m not feeling good about this. Fortunately I think the judge will step in if the jury come back with a conviction.

Those who say having a round is dangerous need to be better trained. I really wish the IDF didn’t teach empty chamber. The amount of people that say “well the IDF carries empty chamber” :shakes head:

Speaking of training, I don’t have kids but I do have young nephews and nieces. Every chance I get I train them on firearms. The oldest 2 (9, 7 years old) have a standing invitation to ask to look at my guns, supervised of course, and every time we go over safe gun handling and how to properly clear the weapons we are looking at. When they get older/bigger they’ll get to shoot them. Right now the thing I’m drilling into all their heads is when they come across a gun not in the control of an adult, to run away, tell an adult and tell their parents.

I have a feeling that it might be a hung jury.

When I was trained by the DoD. Always have a round chambered. You don't have time to rack a slide. If you have to rack a slide, you're dead. When they sent me to eastern Europe during the cold war. It was necessary.

When we went to the Gulf for Desert Shield, we were supposed to have mag in and empty chamber. I learned under Col Jeff Cooper at Gunsite, if your sidearm wasn't in Condition 1 (round in the chamber, safety on) you were doing pushups. :rofl2:

We had a lot of 'zeros' that thought they knew how to clear a weapon. It's real simple, drop the mag, lock the slide to the rear, inspect the chamber, let the slide go home, point the muzzle at the clearing barrel and pull the trigger. Reinsert the magazine, chamber a round and place pistol back in holster. Easy peasy. Well, this one Major decided he didn't have to drop the mag. He cycled the slide, aimed at the clearing barrel and pulled the trigger. When his pistol went off, it startled him so bad, he shot the clearing barrel again. :shakes head:

He got nicknamed 'Captain Quick Draw'.... :rolleyes:

Idiot shouldn't have a firearm to begin with. Just be armed with a pencil. Better yet. Let him use a crayon.
