I’m sure you would, as would many people. There are many people alive today because of cops. As I have said before their job is to go when called and assess the situation when they get there. Yes, it is their job and most take it seriously; many have laid down their live to protect others. The “Duty” that many like to discuss has little to do with duty and plenty to do with liability. If the Police are required to protect you; so are the courts. And that just won’t fly. People making broad sweeping statements about cops because Peterson was a coward is no different that the broad sweeping statements made about gun owners after a shooting. Or making generalizations about gun owners because of the type of guns they have or the amount of ammo in their house. You say you have disregarded what Peterson said and went in. With all due respect, you don’t know that; that’s your emotions talking. Hindsight is 20/20. Its pretty easy to make judgments after the fact, when you know the facts. It took awhile for other responding Officers to figure out what was going on and act. Blame Peterson, blame the Sheriff’s department, blame the school board, blame the citizens of a rich community that didn’t give their kids the protect they needed; and that they could afford. I’ll blame the shooter. You, Me, 10 other people on this forum together, or a SWAT team, could not stop a school shooter from stacking up a big body count if they are dedicated and prepared to die. All you can do is try to reduce the body count. Someone running in and getting killed instead of being focused on taking out the shooter might get them hero status; but it does nothing for the next victims in line. The challenge is to take out the shooter, not be a bullet sponge. As I said before Peterson should not have been there; he was not qualified to deal with the problem; its not a retirement gig.

Had some Clazzio leather seat covers installed in my truck today. Looks good.

Hate dragging this to the top but I just checked one of these out at Academy . The trigger....well.......sucks. Not just a little but alot! Felt like almost7lb. I'd seriously take a look at the other Turkish delight, the Canik TP9SF One if you are looking for a low cost striker fired pistol. (they're going for under $300)

This is just a big guess on my part but I think that this is more than just what they said in the article. I think that this is a Firearms Freedom Act case. I think the purchase and sale was legal at the state level but still federally illegal. Kansas passed their FFA in 2013 and this case dates to 2014 so I believe that they are related.

Thank God I packed the semiautomatic for hunting!

Seems like I've heard them refereed to as Roadway Truck Eggs.

Folks, I spent a few hours yesterday morning out at Stone River Range, and it was shamefully bereft of shooters for a Saturday morning. Yes, it's a busy weekend in the area, yes it was going to rain later in the day...but still, there were never more than six shooters at the rifle range for the entire time I was out there. That's probably a dozen open lanes sitting barren on what should be a busy shooting time of the weekend. I admit that recently, I've been slacking in my own range time as work and life get in the way of things, but I think we owe it to ourselves, and the resources we hope to have around to utilize them as comfortably as we can financially.

You are a better man than he is, Doug.

If I would have been one of the first responders on the scene and he was trying to stop me from going in I would have ignored him and went in because that is where he should have been was inside and not out side........JMHO

Duh. A 22 LR will kill a squirrel, but a 22 Magnum will kill him dead.

Watch them.....they'll breed like rabbits!

Holy crap msrp of $749 and it still has a terrible trigger.... theres those hopes dashed.

Do you have to have a void card to buy a gun in Tennessee and to have in ur home ?

More yankees

Tell her not to leave it in the car; it will melt.

Depending on the type of handgun I might have had to reallocate it to my collection, as the current owner certainly can't handle it. That being said, you cant just pick any gun up at a bar nowadays and put it in the safe without worry where its been, who its been with, and what it might pass on to your other guns.
