This incident and video are almost two years old. But, someone just sent it to me, and after watching it I figured someone else might find it interesting as well.

Yet there are plenty of Luddites who swear a revolver is all that’s needed. I’ll stick with my Glock 23 with its two spare mags. 40 rounds vs five or six. And forget about a revolver reload. The fight will be long over before you ever reload a revolver.

Okay, maybe a drug was involved. An autopsy won't detect all drugs--only some kinds, and within various time and circumstance limits. Emphasis in bold is mine.

In the matter of the February 6, 2021 police-involved shooting in Gaithersburg, Maryland.

[Excerpt:] [Should be about page 10.]

"As part of their investigation, the police interviewed Kevin Costlow’s brother, Steve Costlow, as well as Kevin’s wife, Vera Costlow. Steve Costlow believed that Kevin had suffered a “psychotic break.” Steve said that Kevin has recently been involved in an automobile accident and was currently taking medication due to a previous neck injury. Steve explained that Vera had called him previously and said Kevin had been talking about “dark times” coming. Steve also indicated that Kevin recently made comments about picking up their mother, taking her to confession and indicating that mom would need to have her “last rites.” On the night before the incident, Vera came over to Steve’s house at around 2:00 a.m. Steve explained that he was in the basement when he heard on knock on the door. When he answered the door, he observed Vera and she looked “as white as a ghost.” Vera had told Steve that Kevin was home naked on the floor and screaming that he was Jesus and that “they are going to crucify me.” Vera further iterated that Kevin called Vera the devil and said he was hearing voices. Vera told Steve that she was afraid for her safety because of Kevin’s behavior.

Vera Costlow stated she had noticed Kevin was very upset recently and thought it was due to a recent car accident he had been involved in. She said Kevin began saying things that made no sense, like she was the devil and he was Jesus Christ.

This incident was so weird that after going to the various links and a few more, I can only concluded this guy seems like about as unlikely a person to decide to do a suicide by cop as I’ve ever seen.

And then, no drugs, apparently no armor, and yet the deceased didn’t even seem to flinch with the 1st several shots... I realize from shooting varmints, as well as many other vids, that real shootings are rarely like “TV cop” shootings, but, this one is bizzarro...

This tells me you need gun magazines with enough capacity to take out those who are demon possessed.

Does Congress allow members to play short vids in the Chambers? This vid should be part of any “gun control” debate, at any level.

Imagine an armed attacker with a vest and on pain meds...

No one needs a magazine with more than 5 rounds in the clip. /s

Uh Oh, my state restricts me to 10 rounds.
