Laughable as evidence. I'll bet there were many more fine upstanding young men who would swear they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time, or hung around with the wrong crowd.
Anyone can find one case of X, no matter what it is. That does not make it reasonable or the norm.

In the particular case I have in mind the DA declined to prosecute. This despite the homeowner chasing the would be burglars with his shotgun, holding one at gunpoint, bringing him back to his front lawn and then shooting the other as he tried to drive away from the scene.
Again, while it is...
If a stranger is inside your house at an odd time and you don't believe you have an immediate necessity then you get whatever comes. (I mean "you" as a general term of course) People pick that scenario because it is the clearest case of self-defense possible.
"From time to time" and "it...
If someone hesitates to shoot an intruder in his house in the middle of the night because he's worried about legal issues then he will likely end up dead. Sure, the presumption is rebuttable, but how often does that happen? In most places never. No jury is going to feel sympathy for a burglar...
Given that shot placement and penetration are the major determinants of handgun effectiveness, on what basis do you argue the difference will be noticeable?
You're still cherry picking data. And as mentioned, penetrating barriers isn't much of a factor in SD. Expansion is a plus in handgun rounds. Shot placement and penetration are the key factors. And the .38spc +P is adequate for both, plus allowing follow up shots as needed.
Really your...
Perhaps the phrase "cherry picking data" means something to you?
Compare Buffalo Bore's 158gr FBI load and their similar weight .357mag load and the difference is as I wrote.
And you haven't shown that even 300fps makes any difference in effectiveness.
Comparing apples to apples in terms of load, the magnum will produce about 100fps more in the short barrel. I seriously doubt that will make any difference in effectiveness. But it does produce all the noise and flash mentioned.
The SP101 is a lousy carry gun. You can probably get a Smith 66 snub for the same weight. Not much is achieved going to 357 in the snub--the .38+P works just fine.
I think Ruger's LCP in either 38 or 357 is a much better ticket. Light enough to be a pocket gun and not that expensive.
I wouldnt want to be beaten with a 2lb salami. I do not consider a 2lb salami a reasonable self defense weapon.
People shot with .32S&Ws and the like frequently died. Eventually.
In fact the .38spc cartridge got impetus from an event in Mexico when Rex Applegate shot a man multiple times...
This is amazing.
I own a number of vintage guns, like a .32 Webley. I would never consider carrying one for SD. I'm going to carry the most effective gun in the best caliber I can shoot. Typically that's an old Gen 2 Glock 17. Occasionally a Ruger Sec.6 in .357magum. Why would someone...
I'll note there is no such thing as an "absolutely dead reliable carbine."
Given that most ARs are kept in safes indoors, taken out and shot maybe once a week at most at a range or farm, cleaned, oiled and put back in the safe, they will all work reliably under those conditions.
Anything...
Well, I really cannot argue with someone who cannot distinguish a handgun from a long gun. Nor someone who cannot take responsibility for his actions.
Good luck with it all.
So in your mind there is no difference between a holstered pistol and a rifle? Interesting.
Your personal attacks on my integrity are hardly High Road. Try sticking to the topic.
These guys are attention hounds and they got the attention they sought. I dont see a problem here.
So you're really going to compare carrying holstered handguns to open carrying rifles? Really?
It is amazing the lengths to which people here dissemble on this. So carrying a rifle is like carrying a pistol. Carrying a rifle hoping to get noticed is like black people eating in a restaurant...
