That really sums it up. Plus the lack of good training to remedy some of the issues mentioned (like laying a gun on a seat, then doing evasive driving/crashing). Andrew

So now you're expanding your statement to "lying about a crime"? In which case I agree 100%, it is illegal to make a false statement, it's illegal to 'impede' an investigation, etc, etc. That's a bit different than a wholesome "lie to a leo" that you first said, semantics maybe, but as a...

It all depends on the circumstances, if a LEO suspects you of a crime, somehow connected to a crime or anything along those lines, don't expect them to do anything other than their jobs, and most of them have a fairly broad range of things they can use/do in order to do their jobs, more than the...

Given that you're an attorney and know 'the system' better than 99 out of 100 people, you should be able to provide us all with plenty of statutes and case law that shows this to us. Afterall I'll take the guess that some 99% of people convicted of a crime have lied to a LEO, you should be able...

Correct, because if they treated every suspect as their best friend a lot more of them wouldn't make it home every night. Oh please. That's right, a bunch of guys who work high-stress jobs, are under-paid will have nothing beter to do. It would be a very good idea for you to get more...

I must be getting the numbers mixed up then, perhaps it's 60-70% of the LEO market they have then.

I think this is the #1 reason (by a long way) why you hear about ND/AD's with Glock more often than other guns. Glock owns something like 60% of the total handgun market, that's a big number to wrap your head around. Out of 10 guns sold, 6 of them are glocks, 1 is likely a 1911, the other 3...

There's something I don't think a lot of people realize that maybe they should. And perhaps it isn't like this in other jurisdictions, so correct me if I'm wrong here. But if you're in self defense situation and you find yourself in a court room in front of a jury, you're already WAY behind...

Perhaps, and you're likely right about what he meant. Regardless of where you live you're going to be put under the microscope if you have to drop the hammer on an unarmed person, you may never have charges filed against you or it may never get into a court room, but the various powers that be...

Good idea, shoot what is likely an unarmed person after you 'started' the altercation (cut the dude off), scream you're going to shoot him loud enough so that witnesses hear you do it, then leave the scene after putting '2 in the chest - 1 in the head'. And this is the advice for somebody...

The shotgun is legal, $5 tax stamp (it's likely classified as an AOW) and all the other stuff you need to do for an NFA firearm and it's yours. You can pick up a semi-auto version of the MP5 and avoid all of the NFA stuff as well.

Wilson was standing at the window observing (after getting the shotty), yet was startled when Butch approached and yelled "Boo"? Wilson would have been better off 'engaging' Butch as he was beating up the woman. I'd guess that Butch is dead, Terri is off living on a tropical island from...

Well the post about having half a body and still functioning may be a bit extreme, but the point is still valid that the human body can survive a hellacious amount of trauma and still function. A S&W 500 right to the heart will not give you an instant stop all the time (the body can still...

I had a Taurus PT92 many, many moons ago. It was probably up into the mid/high 4 figures on shots fired and it was just dead reliable, I bought it used from somebody but in the thousands of rounds I fired it I can't remember any kind of reliability problems and it would shoot whatever garbage...

That and you have to violate one of the 4 rules (never point your gun at something you're not willing to destroy), unless you're also carrying a flashlight, in which case there's a bit of redundancy there (and painting yourself as a prime target if there are BG's in the home). But nothing says...
