Don't bet your life on averages

Well I heard that NOBODY needs one of these crazy "HIGH-CAPACITY" magazines. Those are, as we all know, just designed to mass murder!

Would you care to discuss calibers used?

His was a S&W 686 using reload lead .357 and mine was a Glock 22 .40

Outside of the homicide detectives and a grand jury, you're the first person to ask me that.

Let's see...scared less, when I got hit, and a tactical reload during the event, moving from my shot out window to a telephone pole, and then to his car. All the while, I was hoping he'd stop firing. He had a 6-shot .357 and actually dumped the empty shells and reloaded during the gunfight. I fired a total of 19 times. 6 sets of three as per training, verbal orders to drop the gun, and finally the headshot. 9 went in him, a vacant building took 3 shots and never did find the other round impacts.

I was lucky. The round he fired was a reloaded .357 lead round, if it was jacketed I probably wouldn't be here. It went under my vest stirrup, skidded along my chest and sunk into my collarbone. The exact same shot, 7 years later killed IPD Officer Jake Laird, however, that was a 7.62X39 fired from an SKS.

Anyway, it was a damn good Christmas present, being able to walk away..the morning of December 26th, after having gone into work on Christmas night.

Thank you for sharing your story. I am glad that you are alive and well.

Dang! I may just invest in a sword, too! If I run out of ammo, start hacking off body parts till the stop!
