When CCW saves peoples lives thread.

If you need more than 6 rounds to drop an individual that close and still fail, the issue isn't a lack of rounds (which would've been resolve with a higher capacity pistol which is already legal), it's an incompetent owner. By that argument to protect ones house sufficiently you're going to need a 10 round pistol with an extra mag for each additional criminal. I for one don't want to be that useless shooters neighbor. IMO this is just a terrible attempt to stop a terrible law, it's like a playground fight over a cookie. Proper training to the point of proficiency would be much more beneficial than overcoming incompetence with spray and pray shooting.

Sleeve/vdubin wanna chime in here?

Holy shit, a rational post in this thread? I never thought I'd see the day.

I agree, all 6 of your posts in this thread don't meet this criteria.

Seconded. You should hang your head in shame, corvallisbmw.


Those of us who shoot cannot help being perplexed when we encounter people who are apparently haunted by a fixed and morbid aversion to our guns. When first we meet such persons we generally respond with explanations, as is only reasonable. But with time we discover that often we are not dealing with rational minds. This is not to say that everyone who is opposed to shooting is mentally aberrant, but it is to say that those who latch on to an unreasonable notion and thereafter refuse to listen to any further discussion of it have problems that are more amenable to psychiatry than to argument.

Again not really a CCW instance but again NO SHOTS FIRED instance of self defense with a firearm and one of those evil "assault weapons" no less. Armed intruders enter a home in NYS, and were confronted by a young man with a AR15 (that was not even loaded, Prolly didn't have a 7 round mag for it yet) and ran off like a scared little bitch ass criminals they are to find some more vulnerable victim .

I have had to pull my gun one time and one time only and I was happy I had it. Pulled up to a stop light in a bad part of town at about two am and i saw somebody on foot creeping across the road headed toward me, they were hooded up and looked to be up to no good. My window was down, I acted like I didnt see anything meanwhile pulling my piece and had it ready to go. By the time he was at my window with a knife in hand telling me to get out of the car my 357 was three inches from his forhead. I have never seen somebody run that fast in my life, he should really try out for the Olympic team...

Perhaps a thread title change is in order.

yeah I think it started as that, but morphed into a more general "where a legal ownership of guns has saved lives, health, or significant loss of property"


...Or something.

um.....you do realize that the 7 round limit affects all semi auto magazines in New York right?
