  4. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071005/ap_on_re_us/armored_car_shooting PHILADELPHIA - Two armored car guards were shot and killed by a robber as they removed deposits from a bank ATM in a brazen daylight heist Thursday, setting off a sweeping search for the killer that shut down a nearby mall and several schools. <SCRIPT language=javascript>if(window.yzq_d==null)window.yzq_d=new Object();window.yzq_d['EAAZMULEYpA-']='&U=13bnl0hc1%2fN%3dEAAZMULEYpA-%2fC%3d617738.11429160.12036784.1414694%2fD%3dLREC%2fB%3d4934699';</SCRIPT><NOSCRIPT></NOSCRIPT> After hours of searching, authorities had few leads and only a sketchy description of the gunman, who police said approached the guards and fired without saying a word. "He just came out initially and just assassinated them, that fast," Police Commissioner Sylvester Johnson said. The robber approached the car from behind shortly after 8 a.m., shot one guard in the chest, then went around the vehicle and shot the second guard as he tried to unholster his gun, police said. Johnson said neither the victims nor a third guard who was injured fired a shot. "There was no physical contact at all. There was just firing, it was an assassination," Johnson said. The gunman fired at the cab of the Loomis armored car before fleeing in a black Acura TL sedan, police said. Johnson said surveillance tape from the Wachovia bank's security camera and another northeast Philadelphia business showed the robber getting out of his car and putting on gloves before killing William Widmaier, 65, and Joseph Alullo, 54. Widmaier, a Philadelphia police officer from 1966 to 1989, and Alullo, who served on the police force from 1973 to 2000, were assigned to the same district, where they became friends, Johnson said. Widmaier was shot once in the chest, and Alullo was shot three times in the chest and abdomen, police said. The third guard was grazed by shattered glass as the robber tried to shoot through the armored car, Loomis spokesman Mark Clark said. That guard was treated at a hospital for lacerations and released, a spokeswoman said. Authorities said he was 69 but did not release his name. All three Loomis guards were armed, Clark said. The injured guard radioed for help after his co-workers were shot, the company said. Widmaier was married with adult children and Alullo was married with three daughters, Loomis said in a news release. The men worked out of the company's branch in Pennsauken, N.J. "These were experienced, dependable guys who have dedicated a great part of their lives to serving their community," said Cal Murri, president of Loomis U.S. "It is a terrible loss for us all." A short time after the shootings, police recovered an empty duffel bag behind the Turf Club, an off-track betting parlor directly behind the bank, Johnson said. Police believe that the bag came from the armored car. Johnson said he did not know how much money the shooter got away with. The mall where the bank is located was temporarily shut down, and police were stopping motorists leaving the area as they searched for the gunman. Several schools in the area were locked down. Police initially said they were looking for four suspects, but Johnson said it appeared there was only one robber. Police had no explanation for the discrepancy. Johnson said police and FBI investigators were reviewing surveillance video from the bank, which is at a busy intersection of shops and other businesses. Police showed cropped still frames from the bank surveillance tape that show a man wearing a yellow baseball cap pointing a handgun toward the front of the ATM. FBI spokeswoman Jerri Williams said the full view of the scene was being withheld out of respect for the victims' families. Johnson blamed the loss of life on the availability of handguns in Philadelphia and around the country. Speaking of an international police chief's conference he recently attended, he said: "Every other country has the same problems we have. The one problem they didn't have is our gun problem ... A robbery with a knife or a baseball bat, somebody might have been injured. A robbery with a gun, somebody's killed."
  5. http://www.holsterz.com/product/COMPTACSETTABLECANT What about this one?
  6. I bought the M&P from tungsten along with a comp-tac C-T.A.C IWB holster. I just don't like the IWB holster. I'm probably leaning toward a paddle holster. What would be the best choice? Does anybody have the paddle holster that comp-tac makes. http://www.comp-tac.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=27&products_id=53 The C-T.A.C will probably be for sale if anybody is interested. I'll list it in the for sale section shortly.
  7. WASHINGTON - Republican presidential candidate John McCain lobbed a thinly veiled attack at fellow rival Rudy Giuliani, describing the former mayor's "devious" attempt with a lawsuit "to bankrupt our great gun manufacturers." Giuliani said he preferred to focus on the lion's share of issues on which he and the National Rifle Association agree. Sen. McCain, R-Ariz., and the former New York mayor are among several officials speaking Friday at a National Rifle Association conference. In his prepared speech, McCain refers to a lawsuit by Giuliani and other mayors against the gun industry, to Giuliani's shifting Second Amendment position and to Giuliani's use of the term "extremists" in relation to the NRA. "My friends, gun owners are not extremists; you are the core of modern America," McCain said in the prepared remarks. "The Second Amendment is unique in the world and at the core of our constitutional freedoms. It guarantees an individual right to keep and bear arms. To argue anything else is to reject the clear meaning of our founding fathers. "But the clear meaning of the Second Amendment has not stopped those who want to punish firearms owners — and those who make and sell firearms — for the actions of criminals," McCain said. He mentioned "a particularly devious effort to use lawsuits to bankrupt our great gun manufacturers." "A number of big-city mayors decided it was more important to blame the manufacturers of a legal product than it was to control crime in their own cities," McCain said. Ironically, a federal court in New York will hear arguments Friday on the lawsuit Giuliani filed as mayor against gun makers and distributors over violent crimes involving guns. Giuliani said Thursday he doesn't comment on pending lawsuits. "I think right now, the best approach is to focus on what can be done at the state and local level to deal with criminals who use guns, given the level of crime in this country and what's happened with it, as opposed to where we were maybe 10, 12 years ago," he said at a news conference in northern Virginia. "What's needed in this country right now is to focus on people who use guns and use them illegally," he said. Giuliani said candidates sometimes disagree with interest groups. "Tomorrow, when I go before the NRA, I'm going to emphasize the areas in which I think there is a great deal of agreement," he said, adding that he would outline those commonalities on Friday. Borrowing a phrase from President Reagan, he said, "As I've said many, many times, my 80 percent friend is not my 20 percent enemy." On the Second Amendment, Giuliani has said the right to bear arms applies to militias but also said recently that it applies to individuals. He described the NRA as "extremists" in a 1995 interview with PBS' Charlie Rose: "The NRA, for some reason, I think goes way overboard. It's almost what the extremists on the other side do. I think the extremists of the left and the extremists of the right have essentially the same tactic — the slippery slope theory. `If you give one point, then your entire argument is going to fall apart,' and we kind of get destroyed by that," Giuliani said.

  16. well I got the go ahead from the wife so I'll probably be ordering it from parkway gun in jackson sometime it the next few weeks. I still can't decide between the .45 and the .40.
  17. I called parkway gun and pawn today and they can order this gun for 795 plus tax/background. The .45 is 30 bucks cheaper and I think they said they had one of those in stock. I'm still deciding between this and a H&K.
  18. I looked at this gun at guns and ammo in memphis last saturday and I really like it. What is your opinion of this gun? I know most of the Kimbers are .45's but I'd love to stay with a .40 since my other handgun is also a .40. I think they had this one priced at alittle over 800 bucks. If I can talk the wife into it I may pick it up Sat.
  19. I was there when it happened. It was a terrible scene afterwards.
  20. The FOP range has pretty cheap membership fees. I think its like 25-40 bucks a year. Get in touch with Shane Laney with the Jackson police department and I'm sure he could tell you for sure. Oh BTW....Welcome to the sight. I'm just down the road in hardeman county.
