Intruders Pay Price For Home Invasion (Successful Gun Use)

I am shocked, simply shocked at all the insensitivity to these two young men, who were starving in the streets and just likely wanted something to eat! They could have shot back, their weapon was just for show!

ALL guns should be banned and the shooter indicted for illegal automatic weapon possession

These two boys don't deserve to die just because they made one mistake, they were reformable!

God created women, and Sam Colt made them equal.

Marry her dude. She is one in 100,000.

And NEVER cheat on her.

"She needs a better gun."

Probably using hard ball ammo. However, she did good. She did very good. I especially like the fact that she had the cool to keep firing until he was down and then go get the second bad guy. She had her act together!

knew a fella who took three-four rounds of a 45 to the torso and survived. The other fella in that robbery took five rounds of a 9 mm (iirc, maybe a 38) and survived. Point blank range, firing across the store counter.

If he had of been using PowerBall Ammo or Hydra Shock Ammo, they would have probably bleed out before they make it to ER.

Don't know, it was 1973. Did they have those loads then?

My house was burgled this May. Three preps. Two blacks and one white, all druggies. A Front Street Philly group. I guess it's a sign that we are back in the pre-1900 days, before segregation was endemic.

No PowerBall in 1973. There was a load called SuperVel that was very similar to a HydraShock. The SuperVel was a very hot load (for commercial ammo) and had a deep cup hollowpoint. The copper cladding on the slug had striations in it that were weak points and would enhance mushrooming and tissue trauma. It would do the job but depending on the weapon you would on occasion have a feeding problem. The slug was somewhat squared off and this is what caused the feeding problems. My Browning Parabellum did not like the ammo. However, other Parabellum owners had the ramp on the barrel slightly modified and polished and it fed well.

The reason I really like the PowerBall is it is a hollowpoint with a polymer ball set in the cup. It feeds just like hard ball but its expansion superb. I have fired some into water and the copper cladding was totally stripped away from the lead and turned into pretty nasty sharp edged metal pieces. The slug mushroomed perfectly. It is good stuff.

I'm fine with a 9MM. Three 15 round clips stoked with glazer safety slugs make me very comfortable. It's the primary carry gun on my CCW.

[cpdiii]

"with glazer safety slugs"

That will work also. I would hate to be the surgeon that had to dig all the BBs out of a perp. It would be a long night for him.

Well I figured by the statements provided by the story that if they were stars, I guess I should have said, why would they throw away their talent for the chance to be shot.

I can agree with your statements since we do not have the criminal minds as they do. But just the thought of throwing it away is mind boggling.

[TChris]

I believe in some jurisdictions that a person committing a felony during which another person is killed can be charged with murder. Putting this in front of a grand jury can clear the shooter and indict the surviving criminal.

O...IC. :-)
