Don't take a punk pistol to a real gun fight ping!
On one side a Saturday night special, on the other an assault rifle. It's one more klashnokov of cultures.
BUMP for good old American bravery! (Nice gun work, guy!)
I hope he had all his background checks, licenses, fingerpring cards, etc. etc in order because we are a society dominated by laws, this is not the wild wild west where everybody who wants to pack a six-shooter, yada yada yada......and what about the real victim who was nearly assaulted by a madman defendin his neighbors and family ina pre-emptive manner. the evil of gun wielding members of society.
I said it here first
I forgot my /sarc tag.....sorry
My personal favorite!
More like a robbery that went right. Lucky for the samaritan that the police didn't ventilate him when they showed up on scene and saw a guy holding an AK
Its the higher and modern version though...
This was in Texas, San Antonio area.
Here in Texas, when the cops show up and see one man holding another at gunpoint on the ground, they usually draw the correct conclusions.
This is Texas. What permits?
In fact, the only thing he might get in trouble over (and that would only be with his friends) is that he *didn't* hit his target - but he'll probably get away with explaining that he had an AK, which is about as accurate as a Nerf gun. His friends might still razz him about it, though.
As Carl the "assistant Greenskeeper would say"... drop back, with superior firepower.... and that's all she wrote".
No - this was a robbery that went correct. It failed - like robberies should.
Just a small point but one I feel compelled to make ,, this mans weapon was most likely a SKS-47 not an AK-47 , AK = automatic Kalishnikov , SKS = semi-automatic Kalishnikov ,,, I doubt he has a class 3 license for a fully automatic weapon... The weapon model is almost always inaccurately reported in the media..
Absolutely gorgeous. Manufacturer; price?
""It was a robbery that just went wrong,"
What? How does a robbery got RIGHT?
You don't know what you are talking about. The SKS is not a Kalashnikov of any sort. It is the Simonov Self Loading Carbine. SKS is short for Samozaryadnyi Karabin Simonova.
What is guy had was likely a semi-auto,non-NFA Kalashnikov rifle. These are widely available on the market and are basically a rifle consisting of parts from a real imported AK with a new receiver which cannot accept the selective fire components. What he had was probably a Kalashnikov just not an Avtomat Kalashnikov.
IBTP
There are lots of ex-military men in San Antonio...and lots of AK-47s. It makes the neighborhood much safer, as anyone with a brain knows.
