Re: Interesting story from North Carolina
I wonder what caliber and type of bullet he was shot with. He was shot 3 times, once in the leg and was still able to escape under his own power.

Re: Interesting story from North Carolina
Interesting story, with what hopefully will be a completely good outcome. From what I have read, and heard from my bro-in-law in NC, they don't have the friendliest firearms laws in the country.

Atkinson said Hill is a suspect in other crimes in the region. Hill is a convicted felon with previous charges, most of them related to property crimes.
Go figure....

I got my first carry permit when I lived in NC. Their laws are a bit tougher, for example you can't enter any restaurant that serves any alcohol whatsoever. Permits are also issued by the local sheriff. Wonder if Andy of Mayberry would issue them ?!
Re: Interesting story from North Carolina
Doesn't really matter. Handgun rounds are not terribly effective people-stoppers, especially not quick people-stoppers, and this includes the .45. Most people who are shot are, as this guy was, treated and released the same day. To get quick stops, it is necessary to hit something vital, and often needs to be hit multiple times for immediate effect.flb_78 wrote:I wonder what caliber and type of bullet he was shot with. ...
As a first responder I once treated a guy who shot himself in the thigh (from top of thigh to knee, parallel to the bone) with a .40 Speer Gold Dot, one of the most common law enforcement rounds and one with a good street record. Not only was it not immediately incapacitating, he didn't even realize he had shot himself until he picked the round up off the floor and saw that it was perfectly mushroomed. He told me he looked at his leg, saw two small holes, and actually considered trying to "walk it off' without going to the doctor because he was so embarrassed about it. It wasn't until a few minutes later that the pain and swelling began, and he called 911. He had plenty of time and ability to fight and/or run away had this been a gunfight instead of a boo-boo.
In the robber's case, tho, being shot at was an immediate "discouragement," in that it reminded the perp that he had an important meeting on the other side of town.

Re: Interesting story from North Carolina
yep.... it's that "permit from sheriff" thing that really tics me off. I can't imagine having to register every firearm I own with the local sheriff.Westfield wrote:I got my first carry permit when I lived in NC.

You don't have to register firearms, except maybe in Durham.mr surveyor wrote:yep.... it's that "permit from sheriff" thing that really tics me off. I can't imagine having to register every firearm I own with the local sheriff.
Their concealed carry licenses are issued by the local Sheriff but the rules are statewide and shall issue.

Re: Interesting story from North Carolina
Considering that NC is a "Gold Star" OC state, their CC laws are rather draconian in that you can't CC in state or national forests or National Parks or NWR's etc. NC does allow CC at rest stops.

Westfield asked above "Wonder if Sheriff Andy of Mayberry would issue <a CHL>?
Yes, but you may only keep one round, and it has to be in your pocket.

Lucky for the husband a convenience store is not hunting lands under the NC Wildlife Resources Commission.
