There’s a hospital right around the corner or across the river but they drove him all the way across town. Some friends./sarc
My bad.
Air Soft?
Go ahead, say it: “Don’t bring a BB-gun to a Glock fight!”
Didn’t shoot his eye out.
How many times is this “needs more time at the range” crap is going to get posted on self defense threads?
He shot him in the chest which is what you’re suposed to do.

“How many times is this “needs more time at the range” crap is going to get posted on self defense threads?”
It’s a knee jerk reaction by some people. Personally, while I will defend myself up to and including killing someone who threatens me, the idea of killing anyone isn’t a thought I relish.
Did the BB gun use CO2?
That really sting ya know.
Some people just can't take a hint.

All this talk about the caliber misses the point. 9mm did the job.
Doesn’t matter that it was a BB gun. The reporter wants us to feel sympathy for the one with the BB gun, because it wasn’t a real gun.
Too bad. He showed the gun. Shot. End of story.
“There’s a hospital right around the corner or across the river but they drove him all the way across town. Some friends./sarc”
That hospital didn’t take his insurance. It would have been out-of-network. Are you nuts?? Do you know how bad that would be??
No doubt, his 75-year old great grandmother will whine to the media, “Damn shame - he was just turning his life around”.
#1 rule of gunfighting: make sure you bring a gun.
A BB can break the skin and cause a nasty infection.
Clearly this is a Festivus Miracle, that the jamoke MIGHT survive!

Christmas came early this year; Tue 8 Nov!

Merry Christmas!
Really? She referred to him as an actor? I'm surprised they didn't arrest the Subway employee and charge him with deadly assault, if he was just an actor. Or have actors now become open season in Pittsburgh?
Don't get me wrong, the police made the right call, she just called the criminal the wrong thing in an attempt to be cute I guess.
Knee-jerk is right, of course.
The perp was hit three times. If you want to discuss something constructive to wonder about, what kind of ammo was used might be a better comment. Sounds like FMJ ball ammo passing through. Seems to me hollow-jacketed slugs would have punched a guy in the chest hard enough to knock him down. A HP to the neck, even just under the skin should have kept him down for the count.
