We've mentioned Mobile on here twice, but a list of America's most dangerous cities has Birmingham as 6th, the only Alabama city named.

And today three died when a guy started shooting in UPS in Bham.

Now, if something like that happens where you are at, wouldn't you at least want to have a weapon of your own to give yourself a fighting chance?

Maybe the problem is that too many irresponsible people own guns, and too many responsible people are reluctant to carry.

No, I want to outrun the person in front of me.

That just means you get shot 2nd.

A Muslim in Oklahoma went on a rampage and beheaded someone at his job after he was fired.  He was stopped when the CFO of the company shot him.  He was wounded, but not killed.  He would have continued killing if he had not been shot.

Now, this CFO also had police experience and had proper training on how to handle this situation.  This case is a perfect example of how to react, as well as a perfect example of why you should be prepared to react.

Carrying a weapon is a huge responsibility, but I am beginning to be convinced that it is also an obligation.

If he had police experience, he should have shot him dead. That's what they teach you in law enforcement. If the seriousness of the situation is such, that you have to use your weapon, shoot to kill. At least he brought him down and stopped him from killing anyone else.

I agree with both of you.

Here's another example.  This time a pistol-packing mama.

Good for her.

But while she admits that she had owned the gun for five years, she'd never touched it until yesterday.

I've spent time at shooting ranges doing sequences of targets and such.  The joke around ranges is 'cops are the worst at target shooting'. 

My experience is they're generally the worst at scoring hits, and they're slower than the other competitors.  I remember one cop who kept shooting the legs from under the targets until everyone was laughing.

So, if the cops expect to 'shoot him dead', more likely they'd cut his legs out instead.

I now have an old Arminius .38 special that has been in my family for 3 generations.  I had forgotten all about it, but my dad gave it to me 20 years ago.  I had given it to someone else for safe keeping because I didn't want it around the house at the time.

By the way, I am still planning to buy something else later, once I am comfortable with having a gun in the house.

Were these the cops? 



When I was a deputy sheriff, I consistently qualified in the high 90's, and I was one of the worst on the force. Better tell those Mississippi boys to pick it up a notch.
