Anyone here into firearms?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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