Dont know if this is a repeat but I found it to be a great story.

the head shots finally did it, very unusual case. center mass shots may not work. extremities and head may be more debilitating and painful.

The bad guy did something I always reccomend, close the distance. It unnerves the crap out of somebody, the officer was incredibly lucky.

Good story!

That must be why we only need 5 or 10 rounds to protect ourselves.

Glad this guy made it through.

Whoever said, "Less is more", is wrong. Way more is always better!

Now unfailingly he goes to work carrying 145 handgun rounds, all 9 mm. These include three extra 17-round magazines for his primary sidearm (currently a Glock 17), plus two 33-round mags tucked in his vest, as well as the backup gun. Besides all that, he's got 90 rounds for the AR-15 that now rides in a rack up front.

Paranoia?

Gramins shook his head and said "Preparation."

Good answer when the gun grabbing nuts ask why you need more than 10 rds in a mag.

Why we must have big magizines. Until citizens are 100% guaranteed they will be protected or 100% guaranteed a tyrant won't take over the country, or 100% guaranteed America won't be attacked, WE ALL MUST HAVE THE CAPABILITY AND "CAPICITY" TO DEFEND.
The 100% guarantee will never be there. It is up to us...period ! Unlike other country's, we will NEVER give up the freedom to defend. Its that simple. This article is just one of tens of thousands why !

I have a question: Are LEO's allowed to carry hollowpoint ammunition like Gold Dot's in their service pistols? I firmly believe HP's in .45 or 9mm are about equal in stopping power and would be my pick for a defensive ammunition.

Don't know about every department, but I know of 3 in Oregon that do, from first hand experience.

Time to go get someif we're going to

Time to go get some popcorn if we're going to

Ha! I was just about to ask why would you, in my opinion, downgrade from .45 to 9mm?

Yes. Portland carries 9mm 147 gr Federal HST's.

wondering what kind of 45 ammo he was using

 

[U201491]

Lots of questions.
I'll still put my faith in the 45 ACP.

BUT here is a point of info.
Also ask a Maori.

The two shots that will put ANYONE down.
A headshot.
A good hip shot. Which will put them in position for a head shot.
Monopods don' t move well.

"I have to much ammo!" said nobody. Ever!

He was transported to a trauma center where Gramins also was taken. They shared an ER bay with only a curtain between them as medical personnel fought unsuccessfully to save the robber’s life.

At one point Gramins heard a doctor exclaim, “We may as well stop. Every bag of blood we give him ends up on the floor. This guy’s like Swiss cheese. Why’d that cop have to shoot him so many times!”

No doubt who this doctor voted for and where he stands on the 2nd ammendment.

 

[RVTECH]

Why'd that cop have to shoot him so many times!"

And this is asked by a supposedly intelligent doctor who has no doubt had to treat many innocent victims of crime?

 

[kukusya]

Cool story.

Fiction.
