Blacksmoke, although I'm quoting you my intent is not to challenge you on this but merely to wonder what areas of the country is overrun with these guys. I live in SW Illinois, near East St. Louis which is generally considered to be the center of our "doughnut" and is high-crime, low-income, severely blighted, and generally a place many avoid when possible. I simply neither see nor hear about these mega-criminals. More common are 18-20 year old guys, well under 200 pounds, usually wearing hoodies instead of Kevlar, who knock over a quick-stop with pretty mundane armament. This is not to say they aren't dangerous but their unstoppability shouldn't be overstated either. I'm sure the fellows you describe exist but I wonder how extensively. There hasn't been a home invasion by 300 pound, drug-crazed, berserk behemoths around here as far back as I can remember.There is a larger philosophical question is .38/.375 enough gun for todays drug crazed, steroid enhanced, armor plated criminals?
