I wish I had a dollar for every time I saw something like this growing up. Then I wouldn't have to work in the ER.
But seriously, as it was stated before, just wait till the gov'mnt money dries up.
The best thing to do is stand quietly, inside, door locked, gun present, with you or a family...
It's not that they're oblivous. Truly violent criminals just don't care. Plus they know that the chances are still in their favor that their target won't give them a fight.
People are sheep.
lol
The internet isn't lying per say. It's just making generalizations that aren't really accurate. haha
So many 1911 owners either buy crappy, mass produced 1911s, or spend 3K on a wilson combat and then replace half the parts with no thought as to if those parts really belong on the gun...
As long as we're talking about the dangers of AIWB vs behind the hip IWB, let's be intellectually honest.
Think about where your gun is in behind the hip carry. It's located somewhere in the 4-6 area.
What is also located in that area?
Well your spine is at 6, and from 4-5, if I remember...
Thanks. This video was far more informative than the one I found on Yeager's youtube channel....
Why doesn't that surprise me?
Yeah it was a really low riding holster. I think it was the major culprit.
I fail to see how a proper holster and manual safety wouldn't have prevented this?
Assuming the report was accurate of course.
And yes. I know where the muzzle is pointed. Why do you think it took me so long to try it?
Edit: I now understand you were being sarcastic.
So for the longest time I couldn't get myself to try appendix carry....you see we once had a patient in the ER who blew his mandhood off putting a gun in his pants. Which is ridiculous of me. A proper hoslter plus manual safety means I'd have to take the gun out of the holster, point it at...
This.
Running towards the sound of gunfire is not something I could ever imagine in good conscience teaching. If someone decides they want to go in and risk themselves to save others....that is their call. Promoting it to anyone other than military types who have been selected and trained for...
Read my first post.
I went to a super ghetto high school filled with hood rats who liked to pick fights. (I remember there being a massive brawl between two rival gangs in our commons area. Plus several occassions where the beatings were so bad the victims ended up hospitalized) Once I got...
Well if we're gonna get all historical. The term "operator" came about when they were trying to figure out what to call these black ops ninjas that they had created in Delta Force in the late 70s. "Operative" wasn't used because it was a spy term, and they definitely weren't spies. Somehow...
This is easily overcome by showing them how to properly power stroke the slide. Especially when you get a 9mm like the M&P which is so easy to cycle you can rack it off your belt without issue.
My mother has weak hands and is about 100 lbs. She easily racks her XD subcompact (double recoil...
It's been my personal experience that shotguns aren't typically good fits for women. They're usually too unwieldy, heavy, loud, and recoil too much for most women to enjoy them. Thus she won't feel comfortable with it. Thus she won't learn to use it. Thus she won't practice with it. Thus she...

Well, so long as we're second guessing, I imagine what he could have done differently is made a single head shot. But easier said than done.
1- It's a magazine NOT a clip
2- He was probably shooting a pistol, a low caliber rifle at best. That means NO. That 2nd shot probably wasn't...
To all of you AIWB guys.......I've been giving appendix carry some thought, but there are two things I can't seem to get over yet.
1- The idea of a muzzle being pointed at my junk or leg.
2- What if you find yourself pressed up against your opponent? Seems like your knife is your only option...
I actually stopped OCing a lot. Not because of societal pressure, but because I realized that it didn't buy me a lot.
OC does give you better access to your weapon and that makes you faster. And it will scare off pissant criminals.......but truly violent criminals. The ones who aren't...
