    Police shoot and kill unarmed man in the back, full video

    The oscar grande video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgUGAEvKeTg he looked to be complying and there was definitely no risk to the officer. tragically bad shoot to me. How likely is it that an officer would mistake a taser or some other non lethal instrument for a pistol?

    Do you carry your semi-auto pistol with the "+1"?

    Why would I load only 2 rounds and consider being an expert shot good enough and what does that have to do with anything? It doesn't take more effort to slam in a magazine that holds 16 rounds than it is individually load 2 rounds in a derringer and there's a huge difference and advantage...

    Do you carry your semi-auto pistol with the "+1"?

    Haha, if you're being attacked by 17 people, you're already screwed beyond any hope, and having one more round won't make a lick of difference :D. The difference between 16 and 17 rounds won't make the difference in a gunfight. It doesn't hurt, but doesn't seem to help either, and I like to be...

    Lighter and faster or heavier and slower? Which load is a better self defense round?

    Both are Speer gold dots. One is 115 grains moving 1400 fps. The other is 124 grains moving 1300 fps. A 147 grain loading is also available at 1120. I think one of the first two would be best to be sure I'll get enough speed up for reliable expansion, right? The 2nd seems to mimick a light...

    We all know Gun Control obviously makes Chicago safer...

    Well, that was an honest mistake and when he realized it, he immediately said oh what am I talking about. He certainly wasn't intentionally belittling him for being in a wheelchair though. If he did it would've been much more severe backlash against Mr. Biden! I don't understand what you mean...

    We all know Gun Control obviously makes Chicago safer...

    I don't understand where you're going with that? I was only pointing out that those other topics, skinny people making fun of fat people, able people making fun of disabled, etc are equally touchy as racism. Are you trying to say that minorities are violent and worse than disabled people so they...

    We all know Gun Control obviously makes Chicago safer...

    No, I think those other ones land you in some pretty darn-hot water too. I've never seen an able bodied public figure make fun of disabled people and get away with it. Racism has a certain historical context too, and things like that are always extra touchy. Remember after 9/11 when terrorism...

    Shouldn't a gun store clerk have some gun knowledge?

    Well, there's still a lot of different kinds of guns. I'd be willing to bet there's an awful lot of people on THR right now who might know a lot about 1911's or revolvers, but have no idea when it comes to benchrest rifles. Or vice versa, shotgun guys who wouldn't have the first clue about a...

    Shouldn't a gun store clerk have some gun knowledge?

    Working in retail, you are making at or near minimum wage and most of the time, it's kids working part-time to pay for schooling in something they actually care about. I think it's like expecting the Mcdonalds guy to be able to tell you the details of preservation and transport techniques for...

    Insurance survey asked if I owned guns.

    They're allowed to ask whatever they want to insure you to the cost they calculate. They also charge you more or less depending if you're old or not, male or female, black or white, or any seemingly inane thing they want. It should be no surprise that they include guns in there too.

    Do your tactics change with its freezing outside?

    All I have to do is pull the double action trigger. Nothing is different. I keep my hands in my pockets or somewhere warm because it's uncomfortable cold, so my hand is never frozen bad enough where I can't pull a trigger.

    Handguns and Torque, for you physicists....

    I didn't have the torques set equally, I had the gun's torque reduced by proportion to the distance the guy's hand is out there? The torque that a bullet of that mass and radius spinning at that speed would exert onto the gun, which reduces the further the measuring point is from the center of...

    Which of your guns would you most trust to work right now?

    all of them, but particularly any revolver.

    I suck at pistols.. help?

    Yes, I'm shooting the revolver in single action. But I am also shooting the pistol single action. I will try the new grip. I'm unsure of how tight or loosely to hold it. When I hold it very tightly, I flinch less but am less steady. When I hold it loosely, I can shoot hold it steady but have a...

    I suck at pistols.. help?

    The ear muffs and plugs are a good idea. The noise definitely has something to do with it. I remember the first time I shot a handgun, I didn't use hearing protection and the sound amazed me. But it doesn't make sense that I don't have as large a reaction with the magnum, which is much much...

    Handguns and Torque, for you physicists....

    ^ That's assuming constant acceleration though, which isn't what happens in the gun. I also think the average velocity thing might be the wrong way to do it even with constant acceleration... I remember doing a physics problem like that my sophomore year. I think there was a formula relating...
