My deal now is to practice with multiple targets (3-4) set up at 25 feet away.
Quick draw, instinctive, trying to put all shots center of mass in an 8-10 inch group.
Challenging, but can be mastered.
Biggest problem was keeping height tight even with low recoil 9mm.
Practice, practice, practice.

#1 reason to carry a gun: cops are too heavy.

I’m calling liberal BS.

“I grabbed the gun and fumbled for the ammunition in the half-light, spilling most on the ground...”

If this turd can’t load a weapon in the dark, he never did it in his entire commie life, even with sunshine highlighting in his fat, useless Marxist face.

Incidentally, why was his weapon not ready to go? Because he’s a liar. I’m sure I could toss this maggot a handgun, and he wouldn’t have a clue which end the bullets come from.

Eat dirt, New York City wimpy maggot. You’re a lying commie piece of scum. I’d bet my paycheck that he couldn’t hit a plate at five-feet swinging a sledgehammer.

Didn’t we disarm Japan in 1945 and wrote into their constitution that they could not own weapons? So this was not their idea and the Japanese did not implement this decision, we did it for them.

I think this account is fiction, but is there a way to debunk it? He is very sparse on facts. He does not give a date other than “spring”. He does not say where this happened.

The only way I see to debunk it is to get him to commit to more details. Where did he buy his guns. Where did he do his shooting. What club did he belong to.

We have let the left get away with these fictional accounts for too long. I am open to suggestion. How can we obtain enough details to falsify his account.

It simply seems way too pat, and his regurgitating of leftist talking points on guns much to obvious.

Suggestions?

“but finally found one cartridge I was able to slide into the chamber.

I worked the action furiously, once, twice, and again, realizing dimly as I did that in doing so I was actually ejecting the shells, unspent,”

enough bullshit for me

The world is filled with idiots that possess tons of knowledge but exhibit zero wisdom.

BTW - The original story reads like a fantasy piece written by a gun grabber trying to pretend to be a average Joe gun guy that had a revelation. His new enlightenment brought him to a high plane of existence where guns became unnecessary. Basically I think it is a steaming pile of horse crap he is trying to peddle.

It appears that he has been a graduate student at Emory for six years. Emory is in Atlanta, so that is where he is saying the event happened. I do not know how old he is, perhaps 30.

Atlanta has plenty of crime, so that part seems plausible.

Maybe the best thing is to simply ask him for more details. Politely. Any other way will just devolve into a shouting match.

Blanchfield is a Ph.D. candidate and Woodruff Scholar in comparative literature at Emory University in Atlanta.

All that money spent on an education and you're still a dumbass, Patrick.

The comments are taking the article apart. Perhaps we do not need more action on this.

Well, I'd worry that her navel-ring would get snagged on something. Better put some tape over it.
