That's tragic,what's the chance of them being caught.

 

[dannymax]

The main reason I like wheel guns, no safety, no slide to jack around with.....very simple, pull, aim & fire. If I'm carrying it's gonna be a fully loaded & RTG large caliber revolver!

 

[caseyjones955]

The really sad part is he probably chose to go that way to avoid an accident. My daily carry has no safety so I have been known to occasionally not to put one in the pipe but thats rare. Maybe after seeing this, never again.

I carry a Glock with a round chambered, only safety is my finger.

 

[SpecOps13]

I carry 24-7-365. it is always ready to go. I don't go to non carry areas unless I have to. At night it's within a short reach High calibers are my favorite but even the sub compacts can pull my pants down. I front pocket carry so it's very fast to draw. I found a 9mm that is so small I use a 380 holster and very good defensive ammo.
Mary carries a wheel gun that's fully loaded. Slower to get on target but .357.

Mary and I have had so many problems being tail gated at high speed on the bikes that we've both become expert at aiming backward. It amazes me how well peoples brakes work.:rofl_200:

It takes between a second and a second and 1/2 to have my weapon on target. Even that could be to long. The other person has that much time to shoot me and they know what's going on from the start. That's scary. Mary and I have an early warning for each other. "6 O:Clock" that may buy us just enough time. We use it often, just in case.

 

[EAGLEPI]

If someone pulls a gun on me I prefer to have them close to me, I can and did once redirect his handgun and elbow him side of head in the temple. Now that was 30 years ago and I did it without thinking it wasn't the smartest thing to do but training kicked in.

I might not do that again......LOL

Hope you were joking about the tailgaters..that could land you in jail if you drew and pointed at a vehicle that was too close to you for comfort. I know how that sucks but I am sure that you really don't do that.. I'd hate to see you get thrown in jail because some dipshit was tailgating.

That's the part that scares me too....street crime in our area is practically non-existent but home invasions do occur....which I feel is where our exposure is, and that's a problem! They won't be knocking on the door asking to be let in, they'll kick the door in and be armed and ready to fire instantly....leaving me almost no time to react.

Unless I have a gun in hand, pointed at the door, the chances of mounting an effective defense are very slim. That's where a good dog comes into play....maybe, just maybe she'll get me enough time. She's very alert and also very vocal so any evil doers may tend to seek another target when cruising this area....barking dogs and a liberal amount of gunfire act as a fairly good deterrent I believe.....I hope!

I have 4 of my glocks in different areas in my house ( hidden of course ) So I feel if I heard any loud different noise, I would be able to get to at least one ( I keep it on on a magnet under my office desk in my basement ) plus the other 4 in different areas in my house. we don't have any kids so I can have my handguns where they are loaded and chambered.

A dog would definitely give you a short enough warning if you have your handguns handy.

I'm with you Dann-o. Single action wheel gun for me. Pull the hammer back and then the trigger. High percentage that it's going to fire every time too. No empty chambers either.

 

[caseyjones955]

I dont even have a revolver, my next will be. My daily carry is a Colt A90 pocket 9. I would really feel better with a revolver as a daily carry.

Sawed off 12 gauge next to the bed, scattered Glocks and S & Ws around and out side the house , dogs upstairs , at the front & back doors and driveway / house
flood lights on movement sensor activation with video . Obviously carry 99.9 % of the time with a throwdown , and don't frequent non-carry establishments if at all possible.

I don't joke when it comes to my Wife and My safety. When I was doing 80 MPH to move away from the Tailgater and he was still only feet off our rear fender " Yes I Did". Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6. His actions would be considered wreck less endangerment or attempting to hurt or kill us with his vehicle. I worked with the Feds and State LE at the time and asked. Besides I had a Witness, my Wife.

Out in the middle of the State of Florida's secondary roads it has happened more than one time. That was just the worst instance. It is not a joking matter and if I do go to jail, Oh Well....

I can understand that but I really did think you were kind of joking. Being a retired PI I have worked with law enforcement a lot and I have seen the good guys just trying to protect themselves because they thought they were in danger but what the bad guys did didn't raise to the level of having a handgun pulled and pointed at them.

If you think someone can cause you or your family to be in a position that you feel you could be seriously hurt or worse, I would tell you pull your handgun and do what you have to do. I just would hate to see the good guy end up in jail again..

From your username I assume you know how to handle a weapon very well so I doubt you would do something careless. I just thought you were joking,no offense meant.

I hate this no edit format we have now. WRECK LESS should have been RECKLESS.

I hear ya on the old age I can't see my keyboard half the time..lol and the letters lite up. I use dragon naturallyspeaking 13 premium when I have to send a long email.

I prefer a double/single action revolver Steve-o....you never know when that snap 'Hail Mary' shot might save the day. I just picked this one up a few days ago, Charter Arms .45acp, well made in the USA, very dependable....the Crimson Trace Grips arrive today. Them big ol' lumbering 230gr HP's have a fair bit of stopping power close in....like getting hit by a truck!

Boobytrap your house's entrance spots with C-4 or brace the doors with 4X4 oak. By the time the bad guys get in you could be out the tunnel and on vacation.

+1 on Glocks, I own 7 and I have never had a misfire. I guess I am a creature of habit, when I find something that works good I stick with it. Just like the VMAX
