Obviously two diabolical criminal masterminds have been foiled by brilliant police work. What more are these pathetic fools than so much grist for the yapping maw of the criminal justice system. We are going to have to pay for their hospitalization, their defense lawyers, the prosecutors, the judge, the whole damn courthouse, the prison, their food. These scum are just parasites, Jeantel wannabees, useless eaters. It would have been better if each had taken one through the brain and been dumped in the canal, where they could serve as an example to others.

Another example of why Obama and the Schmucky Schumerites want to outlaw private ownership of guns.

These two members of Obama’s Free S**t Army were simply engaged in some free-lancing wealth redistribution when they were viciously attacked by a greedy Bitter Clinger armed with a pistol.

The pistol used was very similar to the one used to slay the poor black child, Trayvon Martin, in the prime of his young life.

Both pistols have pistol grips, shoot bullets and have a long hollow tube called a “barrel”.

Did they have a third thug outside holding their beers?

This just proves what I always told my kids. “Don’t hang with stupid people. They’re the ones who usually make the 6 o’clock news.” These are the type of geniuses (genii?) who try to steal copper from a live circuit, fill out an application before they rob a store, demand the right to vote when they can’t even tell you who’s third in line for the presdidency.

>>The S&W in .40 S&W stands for SHORT and WEAK<<

Would you care to stand in front of one that is Smooth & Wicked?

I don’t wish to stand in front of a BB gun, so no.

That being said, the cartridge is a good answer to a non existent problem.

Too big for a pocket pistol to use and reduces capacity too much in the full sized 9mm guns it was designed to work with, IMHO.

My wife has one.

Carry what you want, feel comfortable with and can operate well.

“One man had four or five bullet wounds.”

She probably double counted entry and exit wounds, so I’m guessing three bullets. A Remington .40 leaves the muzzle at 1140 fps, so at short range likely went through clean.

In close quarters, I would not be surprised if the bullets went through the first perp into the second one.

Two for the price of one is always a good deal.

Moral: Do not take a fake gun to a REAL gunfight. The two perps acted stupidly.

Sounds like the shooter didn’t shoot at the ‘T’ area of the target.

We go shooting occasionally. The Boss prefers a Glock 26 Gen 4. She is rather small, but, she is deadly accurate. I prefer the Glock 17 myself. Plenty of heft, shoots straight, doesn’t jam and lots of ammo inside.

Hollow points are wonderful tools of protection.

Sharpton tells NAACP he'll fight Florida's 'Stand Your Ground'

Does this mean that if someone breaks into your house with a fake gun, you can only fight back with a fake gun?
