Yes, it looks like you never read Shakespeare, too.

Wasting too many man-years drooling over death-machine guns makes you miss out on life, "tough guy".



BTW, if you're a "tough guy" (as you call yourself), and you need to have a gun to feel safe in public, what does that make me? I don't need a gun to feel safe in public, so I must be a "SUPER DUPER tough guy"!

What a couple of morons. permatex Jul 2012 #1
two dumbass nineteen y/o did a very stupid, stupid thing. a fucking ball bat! Tuesday Afternoon Jul 2012 #2
Probably to go buy a gun that worked permatex Jul 2012 #3

You forgot about the can of pork and beans and the bicycle wheel... rl6214 Jul 2012 #7
Only you and hoyt would carry such things into a Internet Cafe. oneshooter Jul 2012 #8
Why would I carry a can of pork and beans and a bicycle wheel into an Internet Cafe? rl6214 Jul 2012 #56
Because you mentioned it first. oneshooter Jul 2012 #57
No, actually hoyt mentioned it first in a thread weeks ago, I'm just replaying it rl6214 Jul 2012 #58
Well maybe he should have only shot the baseball-bat-carrying robber once. AnotherMcIntosh Jul 2012 #48
No good. He was unarmed (A bat doesn't count as a weapon, has to be a gun) shadowrider Jul 2012 #50
It is ridiculous that in 2012 in a supposedly modern nation these sorts of things still happen 4th law of robotics Jul 2012 #6
Well played, sir or madam...well played! Lizzie Poppet Jul 2012 #9
Where did the rest of our cowboy's bullets land? Hoyt Jul 2012 #10
Didn't read the article did you. Clames Jul 2012 #11
Oh I read article -- guy had inoperable gun, another a bat -- cowboy out to save his ass opened fire Hoyt Jul 2012 #14
Who cares if the gun was inoperable? He walked in with it. shadowrider Jul 2012 #16

I know, creed of gun culture: never miss opportunity to shoot living targets AND Hoyt Jul 2012 #62
Creed of Hoyt: never miss an opportunity to misrepresent and falsely accuse. Clames Jul 2012 #69
It would seem to be what he does best. permatex Jul 2012 #70
Trolling or he thinks he is his post count here. Clames Jul 2012 #71
"Prove it." Hoyt Jul 2012 #73
Thats not hard at all permatex Jul 2012 #75
Shiite, even Weaver -- with "I gotta go to the bathroom, bad" -- does better than that. Hoyt Jul 2012 #78
Sorry Hoyt permatex Jul 2012 #80
The only thing you've "proven" would get my post hidden if I mentioned it. Hoyt Jul 2012 #82
Struck a nerve didn't I? permatex Jul 2012 #84
"Sometimes things are clear without the need to study them" friendly_iconoclast Jul 2012 #92
You actually produce a link or proof? permatex Jul 2012 #17
hoyt you are soooooo predictable. See post#5. oneshooter Jul 2012 #39
We should have a running pool on reponse times.... PavePusher Jul 2012 #53
One shooter, if you had been there, would you have opened up with that many misses endangering Hoyt Jul 2012 #77
And the LEGAL CCW'er knew that how? permatex Jul 2012 #83
Were you there? If he had hit innocent bystander, what would say? Hoyt Jul 2012 #90
But he didn't did he? permatex Jul 2012 #91
So now you do remote sensing, too? I've read about people like you: friendly_iconoclast Jul 2012 #87
If the bystanders were in just as much danger MainlyLurking Jul 2012 #95
Good, go blasting away in the same situation. Responsible gunners would question your shooting, Hoyt Jul 2012 #96
Didn't answer the question didja? permatex Jul 2012 #99
You weren't there either. All you know is gun involved, so you are happy whatever gun toter did. Hoyt Jul 2012 #100
I'd say he did a pretty good job at shooting straight. permatex Jul 2012 #102
"He perceived a deadly threat." Well, Permatex, maybe he was wrong -- gun lovers are many times. Hoyt Jul 2012 #103
In this case he wasn't now, was he? permatex Jul 2012 #105
And *that's* the nub of the gist, claimed powers of remote sensing aside... friendly_iconoclast Jul 2012 #116
Hoyt, are you perchance Jim Channon? If so, it would explain a lot... friendly_iconoclast Jul 2012 #119
Careful with permatex bongbong Jul 2012 #151
No threat at all permatex Jul 2012 #161
Thou Protesteth Too Much bongbong Jul 2012 #163
I rest my case. permatex Jul 2012 #167

A police officer would have shot him right then and there as well. AtheistCrusader Jul 2012 #154
How do you define "many"? n/t NewMoonTherian Jul 2012 #164

Two each, COM, and stand ready to continue. oneshooter Jul 2012 #144
You'll never know, but I'm sure I and others could have found a way to handle these clowns Hoyt Jul 2012 #146
Yeah permatex Jul 2012 #147
Might have just popped a bag and watch em mess the floor. Hoyt Jul 2012 #149
Cheering, no permatex Jul 2012 #150
Well Hoyt, your always complaining about people stuffing a gun or two down their pants permatex Jul 2012 #168
She could probably keep me off this group for awhile. We just wouldn't do gun talk. Hoyt Jul 2012 #169
Google funny gun control signs. permatex Jul 2012 #170
I gotta admit, if you can't walk out of your house without a gun, that is way it should be carried. Hoyt Jul 2012 #171
At least she wouldn't have to worry about shooting a pecker off. permatex Jul 2012 #172
Yeah, let us know if you ever face down some punk with a .45 in his hand. AtheistCrusader Jul 2012 #153
His gun held 6 rounds. Hit an arm, and two halves of an ass. AtheistCrusader Jul 2012 #152
Oh dear.... PavePusher Jul 2012 #55
I read the story. there were no cowboys present. Tuesday Afternoon Jul 2012 #126
Our "cowboy" took chances with people's lives to save himself. Hoyt Jul 2012 #127
what do you call bat boy? indian? your attitude toward human life shows little respect for anyone - Tuesday Afternoon Jul 2012 #129
I miss WWN *sigh* n/t sarisataka Jul 2012 #130
always grabbed one in the line at the grocery store, yeah - Tuesday Afternoon Jul 2012 #133
Exactly, so folks need to leave guns at home. Hoyt Jul 2012 #137
and what about ballbats??? and if these RUDE boys had not showed their ass we would never known Tuesday Afternoon Jul 2012 #139
I've got the feeling that it wouldn't matter what the situation was. permatex Jul 2012 #136
So you're inside his head now? You know he wasn't trying to save all the other people in the room? AtheistCrusader Jul 2012 #155
So Hoyt permatex Jul 2012 #162

The only reason Hoyt is here is to disrupt, misrepresent, outright lie, permatex Jul 2012 #15

How many rounds did he fire? Meiko Jul 2012 #35
A nunnery, a kindergarten, and a refuge for orphaned puppies 4th law of robotics Jul 2012 #40
He musta had one of those 100,000 round extended magazines I've been hearing about n/t shadowrider Jul 2012 #41
Worse, he had one of those shoulder things that goes up 4th law of robotics Jul 2012 #44
Wow. Does that have heat seeking bullets? n/t shadowrider Jul 2012 #46
Of course. How else could it be expected to only hit women and children? 4th law of robotics Jul 2012 #47
Not only heat seeking, but can discern gender and age. Impressive. n/t shadowrider Jul 2012 #49
Good thing all the rounds Meiko Jul 2012 #79
Rude toter....hateful to society. ileus Jul 2012 #12
Not bad, but could use some more stress training. n/t oneshooter Jul 2012 #13
Why was no attempt made to disarm the robbers? SecularMotion Jul 2012 #19
Where in the world do you get the idea that LE duty is to disarm first? permatex Jul 2012 #21
Can you believe this? n/t shadowrider Jul 2012 #23
Sadly permatex Jul 2012 #24
So if LE had arrived and found 2 suspects with guns and one with a bat SecularMotion Jul 2012 #26
Yes. permatex Jul 2012 #27

Any legal carrier that pulls his/her weapon with cops on the scene shadowrider Jul 2012 #30
I hope you didn't hurt yourself reaching for that goalpost. permatex Jul 2012 #31
Don't you know some DU'ers are brave enough to approach legal carriers, disarm them, shadowrider Jul 2012 #34
Don't forget this gem permatex Jul 2012 #37
Sure. Cops shoot undercover cops. TPaine7 Jul 2012 #33
Yes, most CCW carriers do indeed think of that. Lizzie Poppet Jul 2012 #67
Do your CCW permit classes teach you to shoot first or to demand a suspect drop their weapon? SecularMotion Jul 2012 #81
Why would you announce youself first? permatex Jul 2012 #85
That's not really the sort of thing they teach, actually. Lizzie Poppet Jul 2012 #88
The actions would be up to the carrier sarisataka Jul 2012 #93
Thanks for your response. I agree with all your points. SecularMotion Jul 2012 #97

This is also why it's important to stay on the phone with the dispatcher.... PavePusher Jul 2012 #111
Agreed. And that, in turn, is a selling point for handguns over shotguns for home defense. Lizzie Poppet Jul 2012 #145
Do you even consider not letting your imagination run away with you? Clames Jul 2012 #120
Yes, that can and has happened. AtheistCrusader Jul 2012 #158
