Gunshine State

[looney2ns]

No disagreement at all there...what I mean is that:

• The man in FL shot and killed 2 home invaders, and rightly so, IMO.
• The couple in MO were threatened with bodily harm by violent protesters, told that their house would be burned down, but didn't fire a shot and had their home searched and a firearm seized by local LEO.

THAT is what concerns me deeply.

I agree completely. Bet they (authority's) involve the Red Flag crap as the reasoning behind it.
I know a Great gun lawyer in Indianapolis that would be happy to help them.

If I did that in My State..(N.Y.) All guns would be confiscated, I would be in jail, and the media here would paint me as a right wing poster boy for stricter gun laws in NY.

Let's see how defunding the Police and those laws together work out.

I'm wondering if the cities are going to arrange for picking up all the dead bodies on a daily basis? They can get pretty "high" pretty quickly especially in this kind of heat.

Another thought is how the unarmed "first responders" will feel about going to a domestic violence call or a drunk and disorderly call as well as what will happen when they get attacked and injured or even killed?

Rare imho to see pictures of the thugs... wanted to grab this before the media pulls the page due to PC pressures...

WESLEY CHAPEL — Two armed intruders were shot dead and a third was wounded when a homeowner fired on them early Friday, according to the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office.

The homeowner said he was inside his home playing video games when at about 12:43 a.m. he heard the glass of his laundry room door shatter, according to a sheriff’s report. He saw an arm reach inside to unlock the door. Then the homeowner said he saw a masked man walk in and aim a gun at him.

The homeowner said he grabbed his Glock 9mm pistol, which was just a few feet away, and fired several times at the intruder. He saw the intruder fall down, the report said. ...

Then a second masked intruder entered the house, and the homeowner said he fired at him, too. That intruder also collapsed.

The masked men were aiming their weapons at the homeowner when they were shot, said Pasco Sheriff Chris Nocco.

The homeowner said he then saw a third intruder enter, the report said. The homeowner started firing again, but said his Glock jammed. Then he said he grabbed a Kriss Vector 10mm semi-automatic rifle, but didn’t fire it. The third intruder had run away.

...
The sheriff said the intruders who died have histories of violent crime.

“This is not out of the norm of their activities to use violence,” he said.
..
Sheriff’s officials did not identify the homeowner because of their interpretation of Marsy’s law, a constitutional amendment that is designed to protect crime victims but also deprives the public of information that has historically been provided in Florida. The agency did not release the address of the shooting, saying only that it took place in the vicinity of the intersection of State Road 54 and State Road 56, near the Tampa Premium Outlets outdoor mall.

Glock jams? But the Glock fanboys swear on their mothers grave that NEVER happens.
Nor do they ever spontaneously explode.

Well now, my Springfield can also say the same thing.

At our club matches, a Buddy I used to SO with would always wait till I was on the line, get the Shooter Ready command, and quickly say “that’s not a Glock is it?” .... Standby......

CHOP was a fine example of what will occur.

Glock 9mm pistol

Interesting. I have eight Glocks. Two for carry, a couple for fun, and four for competition. Much like @bigredfish I shot about 450-500 rounds a week when I was competing. I have shot well over 150K rounds (stopped keeping track after a few years) through them and the only issues I have ever had was a broken trigger return spring on a G19 after about 23k rounds, a stovepipe on a G34 while in a competition in Venezuela (my fault for not putting a little oil on the rails in a long time), and one short cycle FTF (never did figure that one out) on a G34. Oh I forgot one. I did bump the slide out of battery once in a competition by bumping the front of the slide on a window.

Back in the early 2000's there was a lot of hype going around on shooting boards about limp wristing failures of Glocks. So I went to the range and tried to force one. Never could get it to fail. Held it so weakly with one hand I can't believe that it did not jump out of my hand. But I guess in the heat of defending your life at a moments notice, one could bump the slide such that it short cycles or something.

No problem with Glocks here. My buddy was a die hard Glock guy and a good shooter, all in good fun.

Coke / Pepsi......and on and on.... whatever cranks your tractor, I always say!

 

[sebastiantombs]

In that one case, though, I'd go with Ginger AND MaryAnn!

There's always that one guy ....

I have a bad habit of riding the slide release on my SIgs, cant tell you how many times I didnt get a slide lock on empty because of it.

Sounds like you have the same sort of idiots that we have in the uk. all at bournemouth beach a couple of weeks ago thousands of them inches apart. and the funny thing is i don't remember anyone telling me that covid 19 isn't still with us. maybe i missed the news that day..

as you test more and more people you will get an increase in positive results. I want to know how many people are sick with it and how many are hospitalized with it. that is what really counts.

the population of Florida is larger than 177 nations there are only 57 countries with a larger population
