Broom handle Mauser!? Awesome!
‘One of the difficult things to quantify about defensive gun uses, is how often they occur without a shot being fired.’
Not really. I know the NRA and almost certainly govt LE agencies keep records. The last I knew the NRA stat was in the low to mid 90% for no shots fired. Just presenting a FA was enough to stop the attack.
Thanks for posting and the link leading to this…
Guns got my family in trouble. My wheelchair bound adult son was determined that no one would hurt him, yet he sought rough company as he went around armed to the teeth. He stabbed a man who assaulted him in the presence of many witnesses who supported him, the police wouldn’t charge him, the assailant’ s girlfriend brandished a weapon in our doorway. We moved to a town that is friendly to black people—he’s black— but where black people aren’t a significant minority. They want that security, but it makes them functionally insecure. I don’t need guns here, I literally leave my doors unlocked. Guns won’t stop insecurity. Black people should be required to integrate, not allowed to concentrate where they live together. That must be a kind of anti-racism.
“...Turns out, the Bad guy was on a major parole violation from the State of Texas Prison System, and was to considered armed and extremely dangerous. A very good ending of what might have been very bad.”
The recidivism rate of convicted criminals is about 65% within three years. This guy will go back to jail and eventually get out and most likely re-offend again.
Does not shooting this guy dead constitute a “very good ending” if he’ll eventually get out and most likely victimize someone else?
Being merciful to those proven to be merciless is just crazy.
