As the Denver Post is reporting, “A gunman opened fire on Douglas County sheriff’s deputies responding to a domestic violence call in a Highlands Ranch apartment complex early Sunday, killing one deputy and wounding four other deputies and two civilians. The shooter was shot and is believed dead, the sheriff’s office said at 9:32 a.m.
“The body of the slain deputy was moved from Littleton Adventist Hospital in a black hearse, accompanied by dozens of law enforcement vehicles and motorcycles as it drove south on Broadway. Firefighters stood on their trucks along the procession route, and some residents stood on street corners with American flags.”
The deputies were responding to an early morning report of a domestic violence situation in Littleton, Colorado outside of Denver when someone opened fire on the officers.

lived on long island a while back – new years eve sounded like fallujah.
In 2017 I was finally able to find the CZ’s I’ve been looking at for a long time (SP01 Tactical, P01 and the 2075 Rami. The icing was having a brand new never fired C10 C fall into my lap for about $150 less than retail. Life is good.
Very sad. Domestic violence calls always have a huge potential for violence.
If only we were all disarmed the violence would go away. Most criminals, at heart, are law abiding. Killers do not mean to kill, society drives them to it. Firearms are evil and make people do evil things. If you defend yourself you are violating the rights of others to attack you. If you think the world is a dangerous place yet accept responsibility for your own safety, then you are paranoid. Why can’t you people accept that as any reasonable people would?

Flight 2000 was the best pin machine made…..EVER.
Loved that machine.

Modifying your gun with Punisher or “I wish a motherfucker would” or any of this other dumb shit is about as smart as talking down the street wearing a “It’s 4:20 somewhere” shirt that features a picture of a person toking a joint.
Within your rights but asking for trouble and therefore dumb.
The 14th was terribly written and rammed through ratification under enormous duress. It, more than any other amendment, is rife with unintended consequences (or were they intended, since each had matched steadily toward federal tyranny)
But it’s time that sword cuts our enemies as it has ourselves.
So, pretty much like the rest of their products. Overpriced for what you get.
I wonder whether the call the swatter made was broadcast to the field. The menstrual clot swatter must have been convincing. If it was, maybe adjustments in training could be made.
I had a troop, who slit an Iraqi’s throat. He thought the guy was going to shoot our commander.
Unfortunately, it turns out the Iraqi was a good guy. This troop had been on base for probably less than 72 hours. His first”combat” deployment.
My point is that there could be other factors. Heck I HOPE there are other factors…
A shoot is either clean or not. Tricked up guns won’t make much of a difference.
Once upon a time, prosecutors were arguing (falsely, but that’s how they roll) that Black Talon HPs were “designed to penetrate body armor worn by cops,” that they were “cop killer bullets” that only a person intent on murder would carry. They used to try to do the same with plain HPs, as bullets that were designed to increase injury and therefore the probability of death. They only stopped doing it when their arguments were impeached by the fact that every cop in town and the balliff in the courtroom had HPs too. Prosecutors have a difficult burden of proof, and thus they will take any angle, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem, to portray the shooter in a bad (“evil”) light. You can count on it. The point of the video is that even though such ploys are defensible, it is much easier on you and your attorney if there isn’t even an argument to be made.
I still have some fireworks left over from summer. 8 below zero here right now. I’ll be sprinting out the door at 11:59 and plan to be back in by 12:01.
I had a pistol took from me by the cops, the magazine had ” eat this” on it, I got it back after the charges were proved false. The cop who gave it back commented on the ” eat this” he wasn’t impressed. JB weld fixed it.
That’s innovative but I’ve seen it before. When I was a 240 gunner in the Iraq we took an assault pack and put a .50 ammo can in the bottom, then linked together a bunch of belts, and had the belts feed from the pack into the 240. It was our 400 round starter belt. We did something similar with the .50s, we rigged up this system to hold the MK19 can on the side of the turret, then linked together a bunch of .50 belts for about a 400-500 round starter belt for those too. I wonder if that’s where they got the idea from.
The next time there’s a mass slaughter at a school, the blood will be on the hands of these putrid, liberal tyrants.
One rifle, one shotgun, one pistol.
a .22 WMR is better than harsh language.
plenty of mo-fo’s been put in the ground with weak-ass .22 LR’s and .25 ACPs.
in looking at shooting records, reading up on them , many people have been shot dead with one round from a 22lr revolver( although I do not know the barrel lengths involved but at lease 2 shootings they were 2 inch revolvers) some also to the 25 auto and yes, the 32 acp and 380acp have also done there share ( but these were Walther PPK sized guns) so 7 rounds of 380, up close can very well do the job. and I keep hearing more stories about granny and her 22lr handgun ending the careers of badguys ( not like she couldn’t afford the ammo to practice). shot placement, and the capasisity to make acurrate follow up shots if needed is the key. however , a more powerful firearm is not a bad thing since it does extend the range of hitting power out further if needed. but, you carry the biggist gun you can shoot well, AND PRACTICE WITH IT OFTEN . 7 rounds of 380 is going to be a lot better than 5 rounds of wounder hollow point magic bullet from the wounderlite revolver that you can’t hit anything with because of the recoil and it also hurts too much so you don’t practice.
Now that’s a man-sized gun!
