“Erika Sanez, 20, of 5925 72nd Ave., Apt. 4, met Travis Weller of Tampa about a month ago and the two agreed to meet Friday morning for a date,” tbo.com reports. “They met at 8903 Plum Grove Court in Tampa at about 4:40 a.m. Deputies said three men were waiting in the the vacant house to rob Weller.” I know what you’re thinking. “Date.” “4:40am.” Two plus two equals for sale. Not that this is what this is, but prostitutes have been trying to “roll” clients since the dawn of time. Not this time . . .
Instead, Weller began firing. One of the men, Marlin Anthony Walker Jr., 20, of 210 E. 23rd Ave., Unit A, was shot in the chest. Sanez took him to Town and Country Hospital, where he later died. An autopsy, concluded that the fatal shot piercied [sic] his lung, heart and aorta.
Isn’t the aorta part of the heart? Anyway, it’s not just ladies of the night who pose a potentially lethal threat to amorous males. Not to put too fine a point on it, there are some crazy bitches out there. Don’t ask me how I know . . .
To avoid [more] charges of misogyny from the gun control crowd, let it be know that there are also plenty of potential “date” rapists who may require a ballistic disincentive. By the same token, a prostitute has as much of a right to armed self-defense as anyone else. [h/t Jimmy in Tampa]

are you people moaning about freedom, constitutionality or “civil liberties” at stake when the NYPD commits illegal searches and seizures amongst low-income and/or people of color looking for illegal guns? or is this polite letter in the mail really what pushes the envelope?

Think I’ll RSVP for the Salem rally using one of my fake accounts.
I just might outnumber her.
So instead of penetration, there was penetration?
Bud-a-bump, tsshhh.
Everything is very open with a clear clarification of the issues.
It was truly informative. Your site is very helpful. Thanks for sharing!
What exactly is thunderclap? Sounds like something you could catch from one of the MDA gatherings…
HEY YOU GUYS! This is serious!
He has a flick knife.
This is dumb,the story should have ended a long time ago. For that scenario you caught the threat with red hands no need to run up stairs and retreat the second he takes a foot threw the door blast him. I mean,he is carrying a ak-47 the “7 step rule” doesn’t apply here(Massachusetts law that regulates when you can shoot a trespasser.)
So this is just ridiculous,a rifle would do the trick and so would a shotgun with slugs who cares as long as he is dead and you don’t damage your house.
The best CC clothing I ever acquired was picked up at a Goodwill for pennies on the dollar.
I know where I will be december 14th.
RF, seriously, you should know this basic anatomy….
And I’ve seen several patients who got shot through the heart or had a bullet lodge in the heart who survived. It’s not necessarily as lethal as you think, especially with ball (non-expanding) bullets. A hit to the aorta, however, is almost always fatal with death coming in 1-2 minutes. The aorta is much smaller and easier to disrupt, and blood is at a much higher pressure in it then in most of the heart.
It’s identical to the Jennings/Bryco model.
My advice is to STOP SHOOTING IT NOW! I owned the Jennings variant which broke (almost catastrophically!) and have seen a friends Bryco variant break in the exact same place. The barrel band will crack and the barrel will come loose while shooting. If you’re lucky it will jam up or fail to fire like the Jennings did. The loose barrel slid forward just enough that when the trigger was pulled the striker barely scuffed the primer and the barrel rattled. The Bryco my buddy owned had a crack in the exact same place that I caught before he fired it anymore.
If I had to guess I’d say that I had around 300-400 rounds downrange with mine over a period of at least 5 years. I bought it as a truck gun and played with it at the range, it was NEVER abused in any way and I never used high power loads.
The .22 versions seem to hold up fine but .380 is a bad idea for that design IMO. I still have the frame/parts somewhere in a ziplock bag(I never throw stuff away).

This isn’t the first, nor the last. Ten years ago I had access to a 3D printer as a college student and we printed all sorts of things that would curl a liberal’s hair. I never did any gun parts, but a few others did.
It might be time to start paying Dean for his contributions to this site. Or at least some more aggressive hyper linking.
If they hadn’t been so busy entrapping the Reese family and moving stolen cigarettes, they would have had plenty of manpower to get the job done.
“Because it’s the one I’m the best with,” I answered.
That is ultimately the best response in all the caliber/platform/whatever debates around firearms. The one you shoot the best is the best gun for you.
8 years old. Damn. I get funny looks from letting my 8 year old daughter shoot my air-soft Glock here in 21st Century Massachusetts, never mind a real firearm.
There is occasionally a time for SWAT. No knock raids on neighborhood poker games are NOT it. Hostage situations, however are. The local PD should just keep in mind that it might be a prank.
The prankster on the other hand could use about 5-10 years in the state pen to think about his ingenious idea.
Recently Brought home a Big Boy in 30-30. Brass receiver, octagonal barrel, nice wood stock.
Given that I’m in CA, the times we’re living in and the fact that Henry’s factory took a hit in Hurricane Sandy, I was pretty lucky to be able to find one.
Nevertheless, and I know mine is a different model, I have some observations that I would hope others might feedback on.
I actually located two individual rifles in my area. One was about 50 bucks pricier. So I went to the LGS with the lower priced gun. There were some weird blemishes on the front of the brass receiver – just in front of the ejection port and in the same spot on the other side of the receiver. It looked the receiver had been placed in a vice that was not padded appropriately or was clamped too tight.
The extractor seemed to have some sort of pitting that was smaller in area than a dime. The sales guy attributed it to some sort of “plating problem”….. The gun’s inspection tag was dated after Sandy.
So, I was able to get the other LGS to match the price of the rifle and, after inspecting it, brought it home – after the obligatory cooling off period of 10 days….
First impressions:
I’m not sure what constitutes a smooth action on these guns, but on some occasions, it seems to choke up when chambering a round.
I tried to cycle the action a bunch of times to see if it eases up. I had fun with my two year old, having him drop A-Zoom snap caps into the tube and then chase them down throughout the room as I ejected them. I don’t know that this did anything to improve things.
After a box and a half of 150 and 170 grain, the screw on the tang loosened to the point where the butt stock moved a couple of millimeters.
Then there, are the sights. I don’t mind the type. I just wish I knew where to start.
The rear sight is lowered for transport. I get that. However, I wanted to know what distance the gun was zeroed and test fired to.
I called Henry.
The guy on the other end was pleasant enough (by NYC/NJ standards). But he wasn’t all too helpful. He did tell me the gun is not zeroed at the factory.
He could not tell me where to start (eg: raise the rear sight X number of notches and work with a target at 100 yards).
I had done some preliminary research on line, but did not find anything extremely useful . I figured contacting the manufacturer of the product would get me all the tips and tricks I would need.
Maybe the AI can help….
