LEO hit rate on dogs is incredibly high, though. :(

Well to be fair...I'm sure the rate would drop some if the dogs shot back. ;)

Or if the dog was actually attacking them rather than friendly walking up wagging their tail wanting to play.

True, very true. :(

My dogs stay in fence if unsupervised. No excuse for a cop to shoot.

You're naive if you think they need a GOOD reason.

Justice is rarely just, but it's hard to say you are afraid of a dog behind a 6ft fence.


Meh. Just as long as they shoot the girl instead of the boy. They shoot him I'm sueing

I'm sure they will take special note of your comment and act accordingly. All the cops I've ever met were just like the old Burger King commercials.... insert jingle music here... "hold the pickles, hold the lettuce, special orders don't upset us, have it your way..."

::)

Edit to add - (ETA) your posts remind me of a certain person, you don't happen to stay in the Waterford area do you? Just curious?

How can you call me a troll when you carry a glock? Isn't that kinda like the kettle calling the pot crusted with spegetti sauce?

You should carry a minimum of two reloads for any carry gun. Why? So you can drop that malfunctioning mag and and stuff in one that works... Its not just about round count although that is important too.
Anything I post may be my opinion and not the law... you are responsible to do your own verification.

Blackstone (1753-1765) maintains that "the law holds that it is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer."

I only have one reload in my mag. I did put a little extra powder in it tho.


when I am a little bit more consistent with my group and I want to buy a few boxes of my defense rounds and be able to test with them to see how I do with those specifically but until then I don't want to have an odd number of rounds

Even number of rounds are better?

My rational, not based on any facts at all, is i want to be prepared for 3 attackers, 3 bullets each. in my mind, this is a worse case senereo i want to be prepared for. my wifes firearm, (shield) holds 9 rounds. while mine holds 17+1 rounds, i feel comfortable with 9.

issue, i only have 17 defense rounds

17/2 != 9

I want 9 rounds for my gun, and 9 rounds for her gun.

I only have 17 rounds.

Your gun holds 17+1

And you only want to load it with 9 rounds, as in..... half capacity?
