    grabbing the gun from your attacker practical?

    It's an Israeli film. The technique is taught to police recruits. I never met anyone that actually used it. It's too dangerous to use except under dire circumstances. I have had to convince police officer friends that disarming someone is extremely difficult by having them attempt to disarm me...

    S&W Model 10

    Do you have a link to the story? In my country, only a few people go armed with revolvers, I am one of them. Even against a car load of terrorists, a semi automatic pistol is still not good enough. For personal protection, a revolver's ease of use can mean the difference between life and...

    Your Issued Firearm (Military and LE)

    Browning FN MK III + Galil 5.56 It did the job. I think the BHP MKIII is one of the best ergonomically designed handguns. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_Police#Weapons_and_Equipment

    Do you avoid going to countries that don't respect RKBA?

    There is only one country with the RKBA, all the rest are either anti or deem it to be a privilege granted to their citizens/subjects (and I am talking about citizens in their own country not tourists).

    Uzi drop test/Israeli firearm standards?

    Uzi's are notorious for accidental discharges, one reason why the IDF only allowed it to be carried with an empty chamber and with magazine removed. I doubt you will find an Uzi anywhere in Israel other than the odd one in a museum or some miscounted one in an armory. Even the Police no longer...

    Gun stops terrorist today.

    Yes I do have a good command of English, it's the first unofficial language here. I also use spell check. :) All signs are in three languages. Hebrew, Arabic and English. 99% of Israelis speak English 99% of Arabs speak both Hebrew and English

    Gun stops terrorist today.

    There is an inquiry today why the two armed police officers (one a female) that were guarding that area did not react as they were paid to do. and a member of an elite unit by chance. A relative of the civillian soldier that killed the terrorist at the Yeshiva killing spree of a few...

    New Member? Introduce yourself here (just intros, questions get answered elsewhere)

    Thanks rmarcustrucker. You thought one of the reasons your country supports Israel so closely is because of our supposed democracy. In reality, Israel is not a democracy but a socialist country that allows certain practices associated with a democracy, freedom of speech is not guaranteed...

I am 50, retired Policeman, retired from the army after 32 years (3 years draft and 29 years reserve). Have been to...
