[Stats vary, but according to a firearms instructor in Dallas PD with whom I occasionally associate, something like 60-65% of the time, crimes are committed by more than one perp. There may just be one actor inside doing the job, but 1-2 outside and not always too far outside either. Not all are willing to handle the violent work as they are just drivers or lookouts, but many certainly will. Or you may have 4-5 people rush in as in this case, but there was likely more people outside as well.
So when you hear these stories or see a video of a robbery, chances are that you are not seeing all of the bad guy actors. /QUOTE]
I have read quite a few of this Gentleman's post's, I agree with this one, and most of the others.
First of all, I will not join in stupid statements where because only normally 3 rounds are fired, 5 rounds, are fine, silly, dumb, stupid!
MORE IS BETTER ALWAYS!! 9mm cartridges pay no rent, or devour oxygen!
Some one, not you! Can teach your Wife to load and fire a Glock 19 in one hour, one hour! Place the pistol were you would have it in the bedroom, loaded with AIR!
Have her grab it, point it at a cardboard target in the bed room doorway, eye level, two hands, press...CLICK! Ask her for the pistol, watch the muzzle! Re cock it, put it back, repeat, over and over.
Next trip the range, away from groups, good ear muffs, show how the pistol works, in every way. Same exercise, just AIR loaded. Same pick up aim and CLICK!
From same position that it will be in the house. Take a box in lieu of a table. But pistol loaded. Now one shot, 5 yards, now load two ROUNDS.. Two shots, no rush. Now load 16 (if Glock19) now shoot two/three/four, in bursts. Same cardboard target, same 5 yards.
This gives an overview, please do not spend too much time pulling holes in it, I taught for 23 plus years (500 students a year) We all think differently.
At first the safe use, and muzzle is the main point, then accurate center hits.
Still do not forget the 4 rules. Look for them, you better know them!
Just one Student! Finish with disassembly. and clean, then load and unload!
This is not brain surgery!
