I actually do a lot of walking in my neighborhood, however it has been limited to specific streets and specific routes for years.
Ah-yup. One direction I won't walk.
Now, I am out walking Buford on random streets and am amazed at how bad my own neighborhood is getting.
Two unsolved murders in the last six months, withing half a mile of our place. One over $.80 in change they shorted the stop-'n-rob clerk. The other, no reason at all anyone's articulated.
And usually seniors with white hair (”Polar Bears”).
A few bits. A stun gun of this type can be purchased on ebaY for about $10.
Ships from Singapore? Comes with no-name Chinatronic batteries? Might work, once. Might not.
The intended victim moved quickly, pulling his stainless steel .40-caliber Smith and Wesson. It had a full 10-bullet magazine, and was worth about $900 police estimated.
OK, looked at the pic in the article.
That's a S&W third generation autoloader, probably a 4006 or similar.
I doubt that's a $900 gun.
Wouldn't be my choice, but I won't second guess something that worked.
Works even better when applied to the testicles.
Never bring a fist to a gun fight.
It’s hard to tell point of origin with products anymore. One of the big providers is located in Georgia, but their parts could be from about anywhere. The stun guns of this type I’ve charged and discharged several times satisfactorily.
But then again, as I said, I would not use them as a primary weapon. Rule of thumb: primary a gun, secondary a sheath knife that can be quickly recovered. For third I’m partial to pepper spray. But if a perp is face down, but still acting antsy, that is when I would cool his jets with a stun gun.
Have to wonder if the stun gun had worked, what Obama's son would have done to the victim?
One of holders f-ing people
Did the victim’s gun jam after the first shot? A pity he couldn’t finish the job.
Now that’s a deterrent to crime right there.
I have a Sigma S&W 40 cal.
They make 15 round clips for them.
Got 3 of those....

No. I'm actually glad little Marvell gets a chance to reconsider his life choices.
The county doesn’t want to pay the hundreds of thousands in medical expenses this kid is racking up at Harborview (#1 trauma center in the state). They will most likely charge him sometime in the next couple of years before the statute of limitations runs out. They’ve done this a couple of times in the past.
They won't though. "Think" is something that they don't do much of, aren't sure how to do it, and don't want to anyway, and why should they when it's not needed for them to qualify for place at the public trough funded by you and me.
Can you imagine what would happen if the EBT cards are turned off?
Moving target practice? Burning their own neighborhoods?
WELFARE RECIPIENTS FORCED TO TAKE A JOB LIKE IN THE LATE '90s!! The horror the horror.
He’s now eligible for SSI.
A well hidden secret to close in combat shooting ... the bladder when hit with any caliber bullet brings shock almost immediately. If you miss the bladder, the entire pelvic floor is lined with arteries and main nerves to the legs. You want a perp down? Aim for the pelvic region, preferably in slight a downward trajectory. When I carry my little North American Arms 22mag derringer revolver in my coat pocket, I will not even have to clear the coat to make that shot inside six yards. A second shot may be made at a more leisurely pace ...
