The retired Marine and the robbers
« on: February 10, 2012, 10:36:09 AM »
I thought this was an interesting read. Some pretty good information for those who carry.

The retired Marine and the robbers

I can't believe the usual BS from the family members of the robbers.  I would be devastated if my child was killed during a life threatening criminal act they were committing, but I would hope that I could see that they were putting themselves in a very bad situation.  I would be more inclined to look at myself and wonder what I did wrong in raising them.

Jeezzzzzzzzzzzzzz...........................

I'll bet Those Two Perpetrator Guys

were just beginning to Write Poetry.

And to Think About Getting Their GEDs.

Yep.   Classic Case of Coupla Perps Who Were Starting to Turn Their Lives Around.

But........Turned Them Upside Down Instead

Coudn'ta Happened to a Better Coupla Guys.

Look:   Here's the Deal>>>>The USMC can take the Nicest, Gentlest Young Men in the World and When the USMC is Done With Them, a Certain Kind of Mindset Remains that Never Goes Away.   Like Our Hero in this case.

Rule:   DO NOT Mess w/the USMC and Its Property.

Definitely makes me rethink wanting to carry a J Frame when I get my permit. Looks like a glock 23 will be my main carry piece. I am amazed he ran that far after a center mass from a .45.

In reality any handgun round is inadequate for self defense.  Unfortunately it's not really practical to lug an AR or a shotgun around with me everywhere, so I have to settle for a handgun.

I remember seeing a study of self defense shooting that showed some pretty interesting statistics - I think someone might have posted it here.  It showed the round that was used and how many shots were fired, whether the criminal was killed, etc.  The data showed that both smaller rounds like .380 and larger ones like .45 had pretty high rates of failure.

I do carry a J frame pretty often.  When I can I prefer an autoloader with higher capacity, but there are times when it's carry the snubby or nothing.

bkoenig - about the study on the rounds.  That was me or WaltherFan, but think it was me.  Can't remember what site it was from.  Boy these "Senior Moments" suck, and still a couple of years away from 60.  Getting in some practice I guess.
