100% disagree with you Ken. Just because it is legal, doesn't mean you should do it. You're at work, two guys walk in wearing black balaclavas (they were), wearing body armor (they were) with go pro mounted and another one videoing (they were), wearing a side arm (they were) and carrying a loaded rifle at the ready position on their front (they were), and you would just sit there and mind them no attention? I can assure you there are very few places those guys would not have been shot, they're lucky they found one of those places. What happens when someone barges into a restaurant wielding a machete in their hand and you're sitting nearby with your family at the table. I'd bet the cost of that meal that you wouldn't just sit there and continue eating, you're going to protect your family. Even though it's legal to walk around with a machete in your hand. Those officers are doing what we would do, protecting themselves and their family.

A hit with a .22 short causes more damage than a miss with a 20mm.

I carried a 22lr loaded with the 60 grain Aguila SSS rounds as my last resort pistol. Even out of a 2" barrel they will penetrate ~8" in gel and tumble along the way. It was not the best thing to carry but it is way better than a pointy stick or club.

I am gonna sound crazy compared to most but I carry my g29 on my person and my 20 in my purse. 2 extra mags for my 29 and 3 for my 20. I also carry my 2 GT Kiradishi knives as well.

Folks jump up, take sides and get all passionate when any mention of caliber comes up, even if it's a joke.

Ah, the age-old argument that has no answer. Did anybody read the OP...in General Chat? I'd be proud and walking tall carrying nothing more a Bersa Thunder .22. I can pump 400 grains of lead into something with a quickness.

Just because you can doesn't mean that you should. Their intent to scare the police was quite evident, and they are lucky they didn't get shot.

.380 Like Dolomite says it beats a sharp stick. I'd carry a full-size 10mm with 3 mags if I thought it was necessary and feasible, but it's not. I have the mindset that you can't prevent everything. If it's my time to go, I'll fight like hell with what I have.

These idiots are lucky they weren't shot. I'm so sick of these open carry clowns trying to make a point by carrying out allegedly legal actions just to prove a point. All they are doing is instigating and testing limits to get attention instead of peacefully open carrying. People like this are some of the 2A's worst enemies as they make all gun owners look bad when this crap hits the news. Morons. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would trust a 22lr if I had to.

Those two need some good old fashioned police brutality.

I wonder if DropBox would be an option . . . . I use that pretty extensively for work. I'll give it a test . . . . Well there you go . . . .

The “legal bar” in most states I’m sure would be covered by “A reasonable person believing that someone was in immediate danger of death or great bodily harm.” The “Reasonable person” would be a Judge or jury. Plenty of people have said they shot someone because they were scared. For some it worked; others went to prison. Joe McKnight was unarmed and shot in a road rage incident. The shooter did not deny shooting him and said he was scared. He wasn’t immediately charged, but has since been charged with manslaughter. We will have to wait to see how that works out. (As far as your question about can you just shoot someone) Had the barrel of that rifle moved in the direction of those Officers they would have shot him; I know I would have. And I would bet you couldn’t find a jury in the land to convict them of anything. Those guys are only alive because they didn’t move and did what they were told. Teach your kids to stay alive. Teach them that if you threaten someone with a gun (real or perceived), cops or citizens; it could cost them their life. Dead is dead and the fact there is a misunderstanding doesn’t change that.

Over the years I have seen a lot of folks with holes in them. Most that were still alive had been shot with .380, 9mm, .38 & .357. The one caliber that put the most bodies in the morgue was .22. Only once did it drop the recipient in place. The other times they ran, walked or stumbled varying distances before dropping or stopping. In every case but the one, the entry was not fatal but the .22 bounced around and hit something vital that caused their demise.

It's not illegal to eat your own turds.

Just got a call from my son in law. Apparently dish got hacked and they ain't telling anyone. Go change all your passwords and secret questions. NOW

I keep a .32 gun in my pocket for fun. I'll carry a bigger gun from time to time as location and wardrobe allows, but I haven't been to a non .gov building yet where my p32 wasn't able to go with me.

With the way the world is on edge about attacks They are very lucky someone including the police didn't open up on them both. I hope they are both charged with a Felony and loose their 2nd Amendment priviledges because they have proven the are not mentally stable enough to own a gun..................JMHO

Can't believe they weren't shot.

.380 and I'm not real confident in it.

It's guys like these that give gun owners a bad name. What kind of reaction did the expect?

Only on Tuesday nights. The rest of the week I'm a real degenerate.

This.^ I usually do something similar on Tuesday nights, but I wait to get in the privacy of my own home. At least now that they dropped the charges from the last time I took a Tuesday night out on the town I don't have to go 'introduce myself' to my neighbors the next time I move.

There is a nice 10mm following here. Currently I have a Glock 20, Glock 40, the RIA above and a Gumcrafters No Name 1911 all in 10mm.

Nah, I am just a smarta$$

Years upon years of info. Make yourself at home and glean the universe of knowledge. If you can't find it just ask.

Same deal, the title was "Can someone please help this dog" got about 15 seconds into it and was about to kill the video, man that was depressing then the damn thing got up and walked off. wtf

See you guys on the 11th. Haven't shot Production in six years, but got a new gun so gonna give it a go. I need to go practice reloads...

I looked at them, but I’m too lazy to pump, and scuba tanks looked like an expensive option. I already have the expensive options covered; don’t need anymore.

These weren’t guys conducting business; they had ill intent. However, the cops didn’t know what their intent was and acted appropriately. I have said here many times before I don’t support the Police wearing masks and suppressed uniforms. I have been on a lot of raids and never found the need to wear a mask. However, that has no impact on what these clowns did. Had I seen that I would have alerted everyone and headed to the armory for a rifle. No carried weapon is an immediate threat; until it is. You can’t ask a cop or a citizen to wait until a gun is pointed AT THEM to react; that’s ridiculous and goes against the way everyone is trained; cops, military and citizens. In a time when cops are under attack and active shooters on the rise; this was nothing less than reckless. We don’t need these kinds of people even pretending to represent us. They don’t represent me. This absolutely will not help any carry laws; it will cause more restrictions.

I have a Hatsan AT44S Long QE 9 Shot – .25 Cal that I can hit a 50 cent piece with at 35 yards! It should to be able to kill Coyotes, Rabbits, Racoon, etc. There are numerous YouTube videos of others hunting with them. The external air tank at 4500psi was expensive, but a must if you plan to use the gun to hunt. You get about 18 shots before you really need to recharge the tank on the gun.

It was dissolved in '96 but its duties were transferred to the TN Regulatory Authority. They did have officers of some kind. There is even a law on the books that former officers could retain their service weapons: 65-1-114. Former public service commission officers to retain service weapons. A public service commission officer who is authorized to carry a firearm while on duty, and has more than twenty-five (25) years of honorable service, and leaves the service of the public service commission before retirement eligibility because of personnel actions executed under Acts 1995, ch. 305, may retain such employee's service weapon under § 65-15-106(c)(3).

I agree that we can't carry for every situation, otherwise we would all be humping a huge pack with a shotgun, sniper rifle, AR, and 3 sidearms. Plus 5000 rounds of ammo.....for each. Having anything is better than nothing and shot placement is everything. A .25ACP through the eye socket will kill someone/thing as easy as a 45-70. So if a Bengal Tiger jumps you in the grocery store, just use what you have, because no one plans for that.

I trust a 22lr a lot of the time when I am out and not going to be in a hood but just someplace like Grocery store and I trust my 380's a lot when I am going to be other places. People can say what they want about 380's but I have full faith in them. If a person with a 380 puts the first 1 or 2 rounds where they need to be it will do it's job just fine IMHO.

Personally, I only own 9mm. However, I think I'd be comfortable with a .380 if it were my only option. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I carry a 25ACP, laugh if you must, scouff if you want. I can get it out of my pocket, hide it in my hand, shoot it well with eather hand and hit the target. It is my get off me pistol. I do have pistols up to 44mag and 45 Colt. With the work I do I am on the ground on my side and back, not easy to have some thing bigger on my hip or in my pocket.

.380 if I had to have a very small weapon for pocket or ankle carry. Otherwise 9mm would be it.

After shooting Plinker4life's very very very very quiet, switchable multi or single shot air rifles I might be talked into in not shooting .22LR for a very long time. Likely the most anticipated air rifle of all time is coming in May: https://www.umarexusa.com/blogs/airgun-news/umarex-gauntlet-sets-the-new-standard-in-pcp-air-rifle-performance 299.99 for the rifle, then buy a knockoff ebay handpump for about 100.00 or less...my neighbors may never know what happened to all the squirrels... However, Plinker4life's air rifles are top tier rifles, Air Arms and FX with great triggers, accurate as ....., and did I mention quiet....? These things are killing machines for small varmints, so much quieter than a suppressed .22. You can get a shrouded and threaded rifle so you can put an air rifle moderator on them as well, making them even quieter. You can get a good legal to buy online carbon fiber moderator for 35.00.

I love my Benjamin Marauder ....It's a .22 and accurate as .....

Only on Tuesday nights? What are you, a monk?

don't buy........I will send you some just to get rid of it.

Disagree with Glocks or any other striker-fired handgun being considered double-action. Lazy gun magazine scribes tried to force striker-fired handguns to fit into that box an finally gave up and resorted to calling them Striker Fired to distinguish them from SA and DA handguns. I understand where you are coming from, but it was messy back in the day when the industry tried calling them that and thankfully most folks moved past it. Then of course there are the companies that tried using the term "Safe Action" and just confused it further. Striker-fired actions are a variation on Double Action Only if you choose to look at it that way, but they lack two of the resets that are hallmarks of DAO. But hey, look at the bright side: We can add this to the things that folks can debate ad-nauseum, like: 1911 vs Glock 1911 vs Anything Glock vs Anything 9mm vs 45ACP Toilet Paper: Over or Under

There is a new EMP bobtailed 9..... http://www.springfield-armory.com/products/1911-emp-4-concealed-carry-contour-9mm/#

There's a good bit of Russian Sambo involved as well as Judo.  It's a great movie and thankfully a sequel is in the works.
