Another reason to stay armed

[getsome]

This happened last Sunday in a nice quiet upscale neighborhood here in Atlanta....The Police say 2 young black males came to the victims front door asking to borrow a car jack and then forced their way into the house and then as many as 8 other black males as young as 13 years old that were hiding in nearby woods also stormed Mike and Whitney Lash's home as they returned from a vacaton....They shot Mike in both legs and shot at Whitney as she ran away with their baby in her arms....All they took was the couples cell phones...Police think it may have been part of a gang initiation and no arrests have been made so these thugs are still on the street....

Mike was about to start a new job this week so the couple is without medical insurance...At the bottom of the following article there is a link to the Go Fund Me web site where if you are so inclined you may send in a donation to help them get through this....I sent a few bucks because this could have happened to me but if it had there would have been a few less punks walking around because I'm ALWAYS armed....

It's a crazy dangerous world we live in today.....Very sad

But we are told having a gun for self defense will just endanger family members, and if dad had fired back at the thugs he undoubtedly would've mowed down his wife & baby instead.

I'm going back to my double mag pouch myself. Been getting lax lately. Cut the grass a couple weeks ago and realized I was nekkid as the proverbial jay bird. Why a damn kid with a blow gun could have taken me out with no fear of repercussion.

[JohnR]

Eight perps...

And the antis want to limit mag capacity? It's obvious whose side they're on.

[berettabone]

It's unfortunate but some people have to learn the hard way. Just another case of people not being aware, and not being armed......................2 things that will get you every time.....................................

[kenemoore]

Only two in the beginning, then 8, my EDC is a Dan Wesson CCO, so 7+1 to start. I am only marginally adequate.

You probably would have had enough..................some of them would have left the scene in a hurry as soon as the booolits started flying..................I know I would have:o

I agree once the first was shot the other punks would of scattered.

[Bawanna]

Be a real challenge, if my wife and granddaughter were involved I'd want to get as many as I could ya know.

Crap, I'm adding a 3rd magazine.

Beardog, you make triple mag pouches?

Just today, after I got home from work and was changing into my home clothes, my dog lit up a stranger at the front door. I was glad to take a moment to get my PM9 from the safe and put it on before I went downstairs to see what was up. It was a lawn guy I had spoken to a couple weeks ago who was following up on the job we had discussed him doing to trim my landscape. All was fine, big smiles all around. :D

Still ... I was glad I was ready.

^^^ There's a lot to be said for the big dog advance warning system. Some of our friends complain because our dogs bark a lot when they arrive. Truth is...I've trained 'em to do that.

Stay safe friends.

[O'Dell]

Yeah, I think that 5 or 6 rounds would have been enough. Two each for the first two thugs and the rest would be GONE.

Having said that, my only pistol with more than an eight round mag is my HDW, an HK USP 40, with 14 in the mag. It's the gun I would have had behind my back when I answered the door.

[JohnR]

Why answer the door? I peek outside and if I don't know the person I let 'em stand there till they get bored.

[Stingray]

My home defense weapon is now a Glock 19 with either a 15 round mag or a 33 round mag loaded. And one of my other 33 rounders is always in a nightstand drawer loaded with HSTs. So I'm good to go with 82 rounds at the ready if any home invaders come my way.

I have a USP 40 also, same as yours, although one of the first sold in the U.S., back when they had standard rifling and non captured recoil springs. It was my home defense gun up until just recently when I decided to try and consolidate my ammo calibers to save money and make things easier now that we have equally high performing 9mm ammo available. The USP has been a rock solid performer over the years (22), and Streamlight even makes a TLR 4 laser/light that attaches directly without need for the rail adapter (finally).

I made a couple 4 mag pocket pouches for a member here a few yrs ago:cool:....I love my Kahrs, but situations like this really point out why I carry my Glock when I can.

I don't know that Yorky looks might vicious to me.

I listened to myself and hung my double mag pouch on this morning. Last evening instead of changing into recliner casual I left my britches with belt on and kept the MRI 1911C in it's normble place.

That Rotty is truly awesome. Great looking dog if he's your friend, ugly son of a gun if he ain't!
If I ever get another big dog, I'm sure gonna try and get me one. Tough looking, make me look manly once again.

Still pondering a triple mag pouch. Think I'm getting paranoid? I even locked the doors last night.

[CPTKILLER]

I am usually armed even with gym clothing. It is not rocket science.

Truth be told I don't recall ever being in one. See a lot of commercials.
Hope I'm still in the good graces of the little guy.

Taco Bell is probably one of the better fast food places.............................I'm not sure about the mystery meat.

This thread has gone to the dogs... :rolleyes:

[JohnR]

Well, my collection now includes three Standard Capacity 9mm pistols. A Bersa Thunder 9HC, Ruger P94, and P95. They all hold 17+1 rounds. The Bersa has been in the nightstand for years, the Rugers are kind of my "goin' to war" guns (with my P90 in .45ACP, baby). The P95 is a skosh smaller and lighter and isn't that bad to carry IWB.

The US Army bought some P95s to issue to the Iraqi army, so it's a real military gun, and the Bersa is a common military and police gun in Latin America, so they're good enough for me.

None of that new-fangled strikie fire brake-handle-on-the-gas-pedal tupperware for me.

[getsome]

Well the good news about the case the thread started on is that Atlanta Police have made an arrest and they have the shooter in custody...The punk was turned in on a crime stoppers tip line and he wasn't too hard to identify, had facial piercings and tattoos on his neck....Here's tip number 1 for any gangstas out there, if you're going to do a broad daylight break in and shoot somebody and you have stick pins all in your face and tats everywhere then wear a mask and don't brag to your buddies who will gladly turn you in for 5 grand in reward money....The dumb chit still had the stolen .40 cal pistol on him when they arrested him so here's tip number 2 for all you poor misunderstood upstanding disadvantaged fine young African American street thugs, if you shoot someone doing a stupid crime that makes national headlines, DITCH the gun....

Paper said the turd was singing like a bird and they have names of all his robbing crew now so more arrests will happen soon...I hope they lock him up and throw away the key but sadly he will be back on the street in a very short time and next time his aim will improve and another innocent person will have to die before they really do put the scum bag away for good or better yet give him a final piercing in an arm vein...

Oh! Maybe they should check bags of folks that want to borrow your car jack, that should *** this right here in the bud by golly.

With a pedigree like that she's gotta be very intelligent. Bet she wouldn't have voted for Ovomit.

Well, my bedside protection device (for uninvited guests, not the wife) is this 10+1 Ruger SR45 - with a spare mag in th' drawer, which will give me time to get the Winchester Defender pump with 8 rounds of 00 in the mag from under the bed:

One of those noisy little beastlets alerted my MIL to a bad guy trying to break in her kitchen door late one night about 30 years ago. She threw down on the intruder with her mighty Titan .25 and skeered him off. The dawg took off after him hot on his heels, but she couldn't find it afterwards. The furniture store guy two blocks away found the brave little killer in his storeroom late morning.
My son still has that pot metal Titan - the only gun in my immediate family that has seen action against a two-legged critter.
