Mumbai photographer: I wish I'd had a gun, not a camera. Armed police would not fire back

I enjoy the quip, "I carry a gun because I can't carry a cop." Even if you could carry those cops, they were useless.

Isn't that an 'alleged' terrorist carrying that gun?

No, that’s clearly an “alleged” militant.

What a difference from the American news media, who think no one should be armed.

Waiting for police or the Army to show up with mops and buckets is an unacceptable strategy in fighting terrorists.

Applied locally. We live in the country, out side the city limits, thus in the County jurisdiction for law enforcement. My cousin, who grew up in the same house as I did, thus is like a brother, is the county sheriff. He told me it would be TWENTY MINUTES on average for a deputy to get too us in an emergency!!!!!!!!! Unless, by luck one was just down the road at the time we called. THUS, we are armed and will defend ourselves.

He should carry one, too.

I think I’d prefer a .45 WinMag. You can get .45 pills so much more cheaply to load them up...

I carry a gun because I'm too old to lug a cop around.

Nice, but a little pricey ($2,895!).

Well I took this afternoon off to go pick up my Glock slide assembly in 50GI with 5 spare mags. I already have the GI version of the 1911A1 in 50GI, the model 1. I love the 1911A1 version and will use the slide assembly on my Glock 21 frame.

I have the dies and lots of brass and gang molds for rollin my own. I like the caliber. Uses same bullet in 50AE or 500’s so I get plenty of mileage from my 1911A1 in 50GI and I will see how the “Glock” bastardized version functions !

8+1 magazines for the glock w/ 9+1 if ya want to glue on the plus 2 extended bases on the mags. On the 20 and 21 you better glue on the extended base pads or else. I do not use em myself.

Stay safe and good shooting !

Calling a terrorist attack a "tragedy" is the greatest disservice to the general population since NBC green-lit "Rosie Live!"

An attack like that is an atrocity, something which sould be resisted vigorously. The citizen's ability to resist is the socialist's worst nightmare. For some reason people continue to vote for them.

I fired 10 rounds from an LAR Grizzly in 45 WinMag. The web of my right hand was nicely "stippled" to match the backstrap. It's very controllable...more so than a .454 Casull revolver.

Yes..... that was MSRP for their 1911A1... Model 1. I paid 1900 for mine. The Glock slide assembly is 600$ in 50GI.

That terrorist attack is exactly what a citizen militia would be equipped to handle.

One is assured that this same thought crossed the Minds of the Framers of the Constitution. . . “if only I had a Gun”.
When Universities put up signs on Campus saying “Gun free zone” and the Media Spikes News stories of Private citizens using Guns to stop Crimes (car jacking Edinburg, Tx.) . . Its an invitation for Terror for one state, and a “Keep Out” sign for another state.
When Terror Hits your city, Do you really want to live in a Gun Free Zone ?

That's a squatty little cartridge. Too bad it can't use the nice bullets made for the 500 S&W. The 275 gr Barnes X Bullet is a pleasant to shoot round. It feels like a 255 gr 45LC when fired from the big 82 oz Hunter 500 S&W revolver.
