Shooting at Kroger in Bartlett at Stage and Bartlett Blvd!!!
deerslayer replied to The Legion's topic in General Chat
A couple miles north of there ain’t much better. I used to spend a lot of time at work around Sycamore View/Raleigh Lagrange and had a couple guns pulled on me in a two or three year span. -
Shooting at Kroger in Bartlett at Stage and Bartlett Blvd!!!

Sycamore View/Macon/40/Shelby Oaks area is crackhead alley. There are several hotels in the area that are action packed. I’m surprised Bass Pro Shops is still there. -
I had heard or read days ago that a local SWAT guy missed Crooks before the SS sniper dispatched him. That said, I still hear what I believe are four different guns. The first three shots sound distinctly different from 4-8, especially on videos taken by those who were close to Crooks. Shot nine sounds like maybe a suppressed rifle and could be the SWAT miss. Then several seconds later, the last shot (from SS). I don’t get off on conspiracy theories, but something doesn’t add up. I would like an exact count on how much brass was found with Crooks. That should be very easy to answer.

I have seen pistol bullets (or their “trace”) fired from handguns numerous times and they appear to be several feet long. It’s usually a .45 shooting into sunlight early and standing near, but not directly behind the shooter. A 9 or.45 has three or four times the bullet going 1/3 the speed, so it shows up a lot better than a 5.56 would. No idea how long the image is actually there for the brain to process.
-
Holy hell, they saw the guy on the roof 20 minutes earlier? Had the SS been drinking all day? The Iranians are probably drooling.
-
A .223 may or may not have killed him, but it probably would have disabled him to the point of being out of the race. If I want to whack a guy from 125 yards no if, ands, or buts, and I don't care who hears the shot, I'm bringing a high power bolt action rifle (.30-06/.308/.243/6.5CM/7 Mag/whatever) with a 4X or a 3-9x scope. Basically a deer rifle.

A center mass shot would have changed history.

Well, in my original post, I mentioned a competent rifleman, not a zit face duffer. But for the sake of argument, let's say Trump's head presented an 8" target. When he turned his head, he reduced the target area to maybe 6", so Crooks was already 2" from completely missing his 8" target. At 125 yards, a 6" circle is about 5.25 MOA. Miscalculating the distance would have minimal effect on elevation (unless he had some crazy 500 yard zero) and none on windage. Missing a 5.25 MOA target that close three times from a rest probably ain't gonna win the next F-class match. Just sayin'

Head swiveling a little or not, that should have been a chip shot with a decent rest.
-
I have been saying that for years. Somebody’s gonna smoke a politician or VIP at 300 yards with a bolt gun and the left will go berserk about banning “sniper weapons.”

1. “Just leave your job” is a lot easier said than done, and what’s the point in trying to move? A lot of American companies are currently infested with DEI. 2. Not if I like my paycheck If you read one of my posts several pages back, I said I don’t automatically assume a female (or a minority) is a diversity hire. And thank God it was some moron who bought MSM’s rants about the deadliness of the AR-15 instead of a competent marksman with a bolt action deer rifle.

They are hired because they are the best at what they do, race be damned (and that’s how it should be).
-
If she changes her story one more time, that spot has to soon be available. Or third, they see it in person at work.
-
No, I am saying the opposite. The best talent is on the floor because a certain desired racial makeup is not a requirement.
-
I work at a Fortune 500 company where it’s routine. Curiously, DEI isn’t a priority in the NBA.
-
To avoid being racist, we make assumptions and draw conclusions based on someone’s race. Completely agree with all three, but DEI uses primarily race and gender to determine these life experiences. Individual experiences are secondary, or not even a factor.
-
Simply using race as an indicator of vastly different backgrounds can be flawed. Three highly qualified candidates - two kids from wealthy families, one white, one black, went to expensive schools, a third white candidate from a broken family, grew up in a trailer park and worked their way through school. Who will have different life experiences and lines of thinking? Which one will be “diverse?”
-
I roll my eyes at pretty much every conspiracy theory I hear, but there’s just too much wrong here. I don’t think Crooks was sent by the Iranians, but maybe SS has become a bunch of crackheads, maybe the DEI chickens came home to roost, or maybe lapses in security were intentional. Or maybe all of the above. The people currently in charge have above and beyond hatred for Trump and I can’t ignore any possible explanation at this point. Some 20 year old dork making the world’s premier executive protection outfit look like the Three Stooges on live tv just doesn’t add up.
-
Yep. I heard on the way home that 20% of Americans believe the shooting was staged and 31% believe that it was Trump’s own fault. All this talk of unity is nonsense.

Ruger Revolver owners , especially GP100's I have a few questions
deerslayer replied to tercel89's topic in Handguns
The L-frame Smiths (586, 686, etc) more or less replaced the K-frame .357s (13, 19, 66, etc) as the gun to have if it will get a steady diet of .357. The K-frames would develop issues sooner or later. The stouter frame (not the cylinder) of the L guns cured this. Many people assumed the GP100 and the Security Six had the same L-frame/K-frame relationship, but that’s not really the case. Some wheelgunners feel that the GP100 was unnecessary, but believe the L-frame was an improvement over the K-frame. I have no experience with 7-shot Ruger or Smith .357s, but I’ve never seen or read anything bad about either one. I’m with Grayfox - look for a Security Six or a pre-lock 586/686 if you plan to shoot a bunch of .357, unless you must have seven rounds. -
I read the whole article and couldn’t figure out if he was comparing Hitler to Trump or Biden. I think I need to go to bed. Gotta go to Jackson tomorrow.

25 or so years ago, I went to Vegas with a friend on a last minute trip and lost $80 in five days. I was pissed, but people acted like I kicked the casino’s ass. My routine became win a stack on Carribean stud and idiotically give it all back on the roulette table. Well one night, John Gotti’s twin comes to the table in a silk mafia suit with a 10 BOMBSHELL half his age on his arm. I had just finished giving them back the last of my stud money and was angrily pounding Long Island Teas. He hands her a 3” stack of $100 chips and says, “go ahead, pick any number baby.” She puts the entire stack on 12 or 26 or whatever and the damn ball lands on her number. A 35:1 payout. I stood up and told my friend, “This is rigged, that dude owns this place, this is BS, and I’m going to bed.” I haven’t been back since.

What happens in Vegas…

I must have missed the show.

And that is different from pretty much all other presidents exactly how?
