Poo? lol Starboard Tack Dec 2013 #83

Perhaps I judged you too harshly. Straw Man Dec 2013 #87

So what do you suggest for the rare occasion where a gun IS necessary for self-defense? Bazinga Dec 2013 #70

I would say the more guns you put on the street, the more likely you will be shot. Starboard Tack Dec 2013 #71

if you think about it, gejohnston Dec 2013 #73

Lots of things are common, like colds. Doesn't make them good or right. Starboard Tack Dec 2013 #75

I grew up in what was Jenoch Dec 2013 #53

They were very much about hunting. oneshooter Dec 2013 #58

Towards the end, many of the'buffalo' 'hunters' only cut out the tongue Jenoch Dec 2013 #60

The money was in the hides, and later the bones. oneshooter Dec 2013 #62

They sold the tongues to the railroad. Jenoch Dec 2013 #64

Thanks, we're hoping to get him on at least one more this season. ileus Nov 2013 #14

The robber shot the store owner first. If I had to shoot a man who shot me first, I'd keep shooting Shrike47 Nov 2013 #4

Old straight line: "Why'd you shoot him seven times?" rrneck Nov 2013 #10

I suspect the only reason 110 rounds was all that was fired was that's all the ammunition they had. discntnt_irny_srcsm Nov 2013 #15

Anything more than three rounds is amateur and incompetent. sir pball Nov 2013 #31

Right, cuz I know I NEVER miss when I do a Mozambique drill. Bazinga Nov 2013 #33

On thought, I'm actually serious. LEO or civvie, if you carry you must be that skilled. sir pball Nov 2013 #34

While I agree with you in theory, gejohnston Nov 2013 #35

"...any person, military, law enforcement, civilian, or otherwise, Jenoch Nov 2013 #36

Month and a half of proper training at the academy would be fine for LEOs sir pball Nov 2013 #38

Yup sir pball Nov 2013 #40

You said civilians...keep moving that goal post. Jenoch Nov 2013 #41

I never said anything about civvies, I was talking cops. sir pball Nov 2013 #46

You certainly have a short memory. Jenoch Nov 2013 #49

For a department with 100 officers, you'd be looking at half a million dollars just for ammo to Skeeter Barnes Nov 2013 #43

So your cost/balance is different than mine, your point? sir pball Nov 2013 #45

Actually that was an extremely low estimate. Skeeter Barnes Nov 2013 #47

But what would they do with all of those 12# Glock trigger springs? oneshooter Nov 2013 #48

COM Straw Man Nov 2013 #37

That is absurd. I'm glad you don't carry. Skeeter Barnes Nov 2013 #42
