The Truth About Guns provides news, reviews, and insights to help you stay informed on the latest trends in gun culture, legislation, and industry developments.
Since we are people of the gun lets use facts to back up our arguments. Google fatal dog attacks and find the facts to back up your claims. Many people are arguing emotionally on both sides of the issue.
According to Dogbite.org 78% of dog bite fatalities last year were from Pitbulls.. That was 25 out of 32 deaths. Pit Bulls account for 6% of the dog population. There appears to be a problem with the breed. Over half of the fatalities were on family members.
Looking over the Wikipedia fatal dog bite section, it looks like until the last 15 years or so Rottweilers were the most popular dog to kill someone. Pit Bull fatal attacks seemed to have surged in the last 20 years. We all love our own dogs but maybe there is something to the belief that Pit Bulls are prone to violence.
To my untrained eye it appears that the K-9 handler moves in when his dog fails to sufficiently attack/engage the subject. Also note how the dog reacts to the flash-bang. Did the K-9 handler feel he needed to be closer to the dog so that the dog could hear and react to his commands?
Many people are psychologically unfit to possess ANY weapon, not even a stick. It is getting those people to accept that reality that is so difficult.
As for this guy? Who is he? Never heard of him.
to me this is the perfect pocket carry option or ankle carry option (Sticky sells an anklebiter rig for this holster) for a B.U.G. I carry a S&W 642 .38 special as my BUG and in the front pocket or ankle weak side this holster will do just fine, as it’s not my primary. I would give this a go. You have to remember what applications this is designed for. I carry my Glock 27 at the 4 with a Cook’s Holsters IWB kydex holster.
I wasn’t there (obviously) so I can’t say that I fully get what was going on but, based on the limited video here (and elsewhere), calling it a ‘good shoot’ looks like a stretch. Regardless, it’s scenarios and videos like this, and the words of some of the police defenders, that continue to erode the public confidence in LEOs.
In 1970 Vietnam was an excellent training facility for both long range shooting and hand-to-hand combat. The last guy that broke into my house found that out the hard way. He’s now serving 6 years in jail minus a leg.
I don’t get why people hate on Tactical Response so much for the camera man video.
Every gun owner should to come to understanding that you are going to come arcoss way more things that you do not want to shoot than things that you do want to shoot. And, the no shoot targets (i.e. people) might be right beside the shoot targets (i.e. BGs, also people.)
Family of four and the dog, three robbers break in one night, dad/mom grabs the old shotgun, three things dad/mom wants to poke holes in, five things dad/mom does not. That’s a 3/5 shoot-no shoot ratio.
Now, change that to concealed carry/open carry, out and about, and the ratio just got even more lopsided with no shoot targets.
“You better learn to communicate real well, because when you’re out there on the street, you’ll have to talk to a lot more people than you’ll have to shoot, or at least that’s the way I think it’s supposed to work.”
-Clint Smith
I’ll bet that all those guns, 21 total, were from criminals! I’ll bet they were scared to disobey the law that they shouldn’t commit crimes and get away w/it! Yeah and Roosters wear hign heels! Guns don’t kill people any more than lead pencils make mistakes!
As an LEO…I hate to Monday Morning quarterback what other cops do. That said…I would not have shot at that point. After 3 hours they had other options anyway….such a s leaving him alone. Sending the dog in only put the dog and the K9 officer in danger.
I wasn’t there so I can’t say for sure, but he didnt attack them. He stance seemed to be toward the K9.
In a legal sense they may be OK, in a moral sense who knows?
Navy SEALs don’t shoot a kid with a Taliban radio because they fear war crimes charges.
APD lights up a homeless man as he’s turning away, shoots him in the ass with beanbag rounds, and lets the dog chew on his corpse while “BOOYAH”ing their way to two weeks of paid vacation.
The police aren’t your friends, folks, and the people that join their tactical teams are just itching for any excuse to pull the trigger.
Sure am glad the anti gun politicians keep wanting to have “a reasonable debate on common sense gun control measures”.
Missing tar and feathering more and more. That’s reasonable yes???
Senator, go recall yourself. No? Okay, the citizenry will be glad to do it for you. For handy reference, see Morse & Giron, Colorado, and good luck with that!
Okay so it sounds like the dog handler was unarmed? I find his odd as most PD K-9 units not only carry a sidearms but have a patrol rifle and shotgun in their vehicle. Then there’s the guy who wasn’t supposed to have a gun and badge, but did anyway. It’s pretty. It’s cool to see the sheriff go from confident to visibly uncomfortable during the video, he knows it was a shooting that falls into a big grey area.
I see you removed my review of this rifle, I do not know why you removed it because I only listed the truth. I still own this rifle and it still a piece of junk.
I really wish there were more arcielts like this on the web.
I like how that little **** only has the balls to say that when he’s surrounded by his friends and state protectors.
M56 Smart Gun – 10mm x 28 caseless @ 1200 rpm… when you absolutely, positively got to kill every xenomorph in the room.
I always love loionkg at the collection of beautiful images you compile… they literally fill my heart with happiness (sounds a bit naff, but true all the same!).Have a great weekend x
2moa? Yipes.
No thanks.
Hmmm.. do I want the Toyota Camry… or the …Toyota Camry?
Decisions, decisions.
Another AR-15? yawn 🙂
If I could reach it, I would.
If that politician was a Republican rather than a Democrat the Mainstream Media would be all over him! A Republican could never get away with telling a reporter “go f*** yourself”. The liberal left embraces, encourages and protects that nasty behavior from their own politicians.
Dear Paul, thanks!The bread-making mhnciae is quite popular in Hong Kong now. You can buy it from a lot of places.I have no particular preference for conductors and orchestras.
“And that’s great, since the sport is absolutely booming and the only serious manufacturers making things for 3-gun have been Noveske, Sampson Mfg and Lancer.”
Is Stag not serious enough? They make the Stag 3G specifically for 3 Gun. I’ve heard the same complaints about their muzzle device being too effective as well.
Arnzen Arms in Eden Prarie, Minnesota. Great place staffed by friendly normal people who actually like guns instead of selling a commodity. Store itself is brand new and its walls resemble the shop in your video. I was so excited the first time I walked in that I could just walk up to gun and start operating it. A lot better than taking a number at an understaffed Gander Mountain.

Lately, the best way to describe the 2 gun shops I go to is… empty of stock. Last time I went into 1, they looked like they were going out of business, but it was just that everyone had bought out their stock.
One thing I do like about one of the shops… they have a section for historical and old weapons. It’s where I picked up my 1942 Walther P38; and where I almost (wish I had) bought an old Mauser ‘broom handle’ pistol
Fort Mill Gun Shop in Fort Mill, SC. Always friendly, inventory is a lot of used and consigned but they will find you pretty much anything you want and do transfers with no problems.
Nichols Guns & Drugs. Been in business as drug store for 50 plus years. Opened the gun shop in the pharmacy in 2012. Very friendly, knowledgable and helpful staff. They are young guys that know their stuff. They also just opened an 18 lane indoor range. Offering CHL, pistol and other classes. Have a ladies night too. Good south Texas people.
Awesome rifle.
Phil’s Village Sports Center, Arlington Heights, IL. Small, but nice to deal with, very good customer service and advice.

Um….so, rather than arming sailors with actual guns the Navy handed them barcode guns? Leaning a little heavy on that “may cause blindness” thing….
The petty officer that got bitch slapped and had his weapon taken away and used against his brother sailor has a lot to answer for.
Other than a Dick’s and a WalMart, all I have is a couple of pawn shop FFLs, so I do most business online (slickguns.com). It’s probably a good thing, cause if we had a good LGS nearby, I’d be there all too often. The folks where I do transfers are nice and all, they all carry, and transfers are painless, particularly if you have a CCL. Firearm prices are awful though. Sold them my first 1911 for cash a couple years ago, and last I checked, it’s still on display for more than I paid for it new (probably because they gave me more than they should have for it). They are finally starting to get some 9mm and 45 ammo in stock at reasonable prices, so I drop by for it on occasion. I usually by ammo online as well, but only when I can get free shipping.
Idaho Falls, Idaho, “The Gun Shop” Can’t stand it they are rude know it all’s that don’t know jack and won’t give me the time of day. For example I was looking at getting a new .22lr bolt gun and went there to see if they had any of the ones I had been researching. I was wanting to see some of the new savage models. I approached the man behind the counter (one of the salesmen they employ.) I told him why I was there gave him the name and model numbers of the ones I wanted to see, after he looked at me confused he stated that they do not carry that gun then continued to stare at me I looked over his shoulder at the wall of guns for less than 5 seconds looked at him in the eye and said there are three of them right there. After looking annoyed with me he retrieved one and let me inspect it. I then tried to engage him in conversation on what I was looking for and if he had any experience or advice he could give me. After once again looking annoyed he said no that he did not. I have been in there on 3-4 other occasions for similar reasons or to talk shop a little and whether they are busy or not they could care less unless I am at the register with money in hand to pay for something. I have talked with the owner and many other of the people he employed and received the same treatment. I refuse to go there anymore.
Franktown Firearms in Franktown, CO. I love the place. Friendly staff. No “unload and lock up your guns” policy (i.e. openly carry your loaded pistol and they don’t have a problem with it).
They say they’ll start construction on their indoor range in a month or so; that will be the closest (about 3 miles) range to me. Based on what they told me a while back, they’ll have 24-hour range access for “members”, and won’t have any rate-of-fire restrictions; they expressly described “full auto” as what they planned to allow.
Ammo prices and selection aren’t Walmart or Internet, but I don’t expect that of any LGS. They do have every caliber available (well, as of 21MAR, they didn’t have any .22LR – surprise).
My wife is just going to be devastated when I tell her we have to sell everything we own.
Yikes. I can’t even afford an Original Henry at the regular pricing right now.
Where would I put that rifle after I sell my house to afford it
What?!?! It’s 2014 and that thing doesn’t have a folding or collapsable stock? That thing is so Clinton era. If you’re gong to go “EBR” go full in with all the scary features that put the “E” in “EBR.”
And I think it needs a thingy that goes up for a proper three-hand hold, and extre “E”.
The proverbial solution in search of a problem.
But if they could find a way to make the rear Glock attached to a 16″ barrel, only one Glock would have to be registered as an SBR.
Loose all that poly and get one of these.

I wonder if any of the “nays” were Democrats.
I have to admit, the guy in the picture isn’t the best representation of gun owners supporting gun rights. The hand tattoo are a bit offsetting. I’m not accusing the guy of being a criminal or felon or anything. For all I know he could be a great guy. But it’s obvious the guy has made some poor decisions in his life.
Point being, there are plenty of people/pictures that portray gun rights in a good light, this is not one of them.
Great article though. 🙂
I will just say I have an 870 and a KSG…I let a new (like these were the first shot guns he ever fired new) gun user fire both. He had a failure to feed with both, because he was short stroking them. It may operate a bit different than the norm but the KSG has never had a fail in my hands, about 700 rounds of fun. The KSG now sits near the bed because of the capacity and maneuverability in the home. Also as far as loading it quickly… angle it butt stock up, barrel toward ground, hold it from the top with your weak hand, and you can quickly load with your strong hand with speed and ease. So in a nut shell if you learn to use your firearm how it needs it will run how you need. Oh and it also runs the 1.5 inch shells on the market, and it hold 26 (I think)of those with out a reload 🙂
There are two possible reasons for this:
1) The Sales and Marketing president decided what products they were going to market with and with what pricing and promotion. In other words marketing initiates product development and oversees it.. Basically he screwed up, making the wrong choices in products, that they couldn’t sell
2) The Accountants decided what products they were going to market and many of the parameters of marketing. They blew it and blamed the sales guy. It wouldn’t be the first time a company gave the sales force a bunch of crap to sell with lousy programs to sell it, and then blamed the sales guys when they couldn’t move it.
For the record I think Remington still has some good products, but they also have some not so good ones. I believe they make some very nicely finished 1911’s for their market position. But the 770, 783, Versa-max, and 887 have been dogs, and 700 quality has gone down. They have definitely lost a lot of market share in their core products. And if it wasn’t for the barely decent 870 express they’d be on life support.
Got the 9mm under the mattress and the colt 6920 with a full mag. But the Maverick 88 security is loaded with 8 00 buck shells, three more in a side saddle next to two deer slugs. that’s what I’m going for if I hear a bump. Gotta get a light for it.
