Re: Deputy Shot - Return 12 Rounds of Fire
The Force Science Institute has done some very interesting studies on the time it takes between recognizing a threat and actually shooting at it, plus how hard it it to change your mind once the decision to shoot has been made. If there is ever a question on why you shot someone after they "we...

Re: Deputy Shot - Return 12 Rounds of Fire
Legal question. When he was shooting at the suspect as the suspect ran away if he had hit him in the back would this be a different story since the shooter was running away? Was there still a threat? Of course all of this is Monday morning quarterbacking. In the case of a police officer, they can u...

Re: Army's XM7 Canceled?
RPBrown, What I gather from that article is that they will be issued for testing purposes. This view is reinforced by the last paragraph of the article: "As units continue to test the weapons, the Army has scheduled a cold weather test for early next year, followed by a tropics test, then a ho...

Re: Deputy Shot - Return 12 Rounds of Fire
My CHL instructor cited many instances where this happened - LEOs emptying their magazines point blank and missing every shot. Happens all the time. I think a LOT of people out there have utterly no clue what it's like to be in this situation. You can't see, you can't think, you can't move, you can...

Re: iPhone Issue
I’m surprised. I am currently logged on with an iPad running iOS 17.1.1 without any problems. But just now, checking my phone which is also running iOS 17.1.1, I cannot connect with my phone.
….correction, my phone connected. It just took forever.

Re: Pistol Brace Regulation Blocked Nationwide
So...my friend probably shouldn't have taken a Dremel tool to his pistol brace and scratched up his buffer tube... Or registered his pistol as a SBR. At least my friend was in the majority...and it looks like it was a strong majority. As of June, the ATF said that it received just over 250,000 &quo...

Re: Kamala Harris
What is disturbing to me--but isn't shocking--is that the Biden/Harris campaign is now worried because a big chunk of their base is basically 50/50 about supporting Israel; the feeling is that if Uncle Joe doesn't lighten the rhetoric and financial/military support for Israel, that it could damage ...

Re: Colt 1911, max range 82 feet
A .45 caliber boolit is only 4.43% smaller than a .50 caliber boolit. You’d think its range would be more like 1,768.05 ft.
Either that, or the .50 caliber boolit's real range is only approximately 85.633 ft (if I did my maffs right).
Hard to tell which it is.

Re: Why 1000 ft lbs of energy for a deer?
I understand that 1000 ft lbs of energy is generally accepted as the minimum to put down a deer (not an elk) reliably. If this is true, why is the .44 Magnum, with 600 ft lbs or so , considered OK? Also, I've seen some reliable reports of deer being stopped by the.357 Mag at 50 yds, with less than ...

Re: Palestinian Imam threatens America and Rome
The inquisition was 4-500 years ago and no longer practiced. The slaughter of innocents by Muslims was a week ago Saturday, and continues. Therin lies the difference. You are absolutely correct and, even as a Christian myself, I understand that. But the element of society which is either both athei...
