I read several newspaper accounts which seemed to downplay the neighbors saving the women by shooting the dogs. But this story tells the whole story.

Dalson remained hospitalized Saturday, reportedly facing some paralysis because of the attack, which could end her career as a dental hygienist.

Not a good ad for Walther, is it. Wonder what the second guy was carrying?
Looks like I'm in before the pitbull lovers.
the two others - which are pit bull - mastiff mixes

Well, A PPK 380, Gary Paquet was under gunned, and it took John Bettencourt, with an unidentified handgun to close the engagement.
The leftie gun controllers and police brass will be very quiet on this one, even though they'd like to see Paquet and Bettencourt in jail, and PETA would like to see the women dead but the dogs unharmed.
The MSM can't color this one as bad black guns going around killing little kids.

Walther makes a great pistol. I have to believe that the guy limp wristed it and allowed the casing to get caught in the breech. BTW, hasn’t he ever cleared a jammed weapon before?

Oh come on. there’s no way to know that. that guy is old. his gun is probably just as old and never been cleaned or oiled. His ammo is probably 30 years old.
that’s why I like revolvers. you can leave them laying neglected in a drawer for half a century loaded up and they will still work.

Revolvers are more reliable under ideal conditions. Autos have fewer paths to the inside, and thus are less subject to abuse. That is why Revolvers are not a favorite in the Sandbox. My .45 ACP revolver by my bedside is pretty close to ideal conditions.

BTW, hasnt he ever cleared a jammed weapon before?He's probably like most suburban gun owners. He owns a handgun that he has only fired once in ten years. He has likely never practiced clearing a jam.
He was lucky he got one shot off, and that he was close enough not to miss.
Still, I'm glad that he did what he could.

some Walther PPs are only 32 auto. Yep, later years of production shifted the numbers toward the more popular 9MM bore, and the 32's didn't tend to jam as much, so I'm guessing 380. Gary was under gunned with either.

I have to believe that the guy limp wristed it and allowed the casing to get caught in the breech. If that's the case, it's still a bad ad for Walther. You can have all kinds of situations, and the right weapon will work if you are hanging upside down or laying on the ground or fighting dogs with it. This one failed. There are a few complaints on forums, but I have no personal opinion on its reliability.

Yep. I read a story where an old guy had bought a revolver for personal protection and kept it laying on the floor under the edge of the bed for 40 years. Then one night while some punks were breaking in he had to use it and it worked just fine.

The gsmith at our local gun shop said any self loader is prone to not fully eject the shell if it is not held properly.
To: Blood of Tyrants
I keep a loaded Tamale next to my easy chair. I have a loaded Taco in the closet, and a super-loaded burrito in places unheard of.
