Document: Lake Wylie victim tried to defend himself, but gun failed (SC/NC)

The State ^ | JUNE 4, 2015 | CLEVE R. WOOTSON JR.

Victims had a store in Charlotte, but lived in SC.

[Gamecock]

From the article it appears the victim shot the perp (below) but did not kill him when he robbed the victim's store. THIS is why you shoot to kill.

[PAR35]

But they are careful not to show pictures of the perps. As if we don’t know what Bloods look like.

[Gamecock]

Take aways:
(Granted some are assumptions)

1. Know your weapon, train with it frequently.
2. If you have to shot somebody, shot to kill.
3. Have quality ammo.
4. Buy a quality pistol.
5. Train with your weapon frequently.

Dang Semi-Auto Stove Pipes!

A pharmacist in OK was thrown in prison for finishing the job on one of the protected class who tried to rob him.

“but a spent shell casing lodged itself in the gun,”

FTEs are bad things. Turns the Semi Auto into a hammer.

Lately to ensure this does not happen, I went to a double barrel with two triggers shotgun for home defense before I go for the wheel gun.

[Blue Jays]

They sure look like trouble-making people who go about daily causing problems for others. (/sarcasm)

[Gamecock]

SC Ping list worthy?

(Do you know who manages the NC ping list?)

[the OlLine Rebel]

No, London shot the mid-level leader, who apparently was part of a whole mob robbing the store.

Sounds like the actual killer was a hit man, who may or may not have been part of the robbers.

[Johnny_cash]

That is why a wheel gun or shotgun is much better for protection.

You can have the best semi auto gun on the market but if you do not hold it with a FIRM grip you will end up with what is called a stove pipe where the casing gets lodged into the action facing straight up.

I have had it happen and ever since I got a grip on my grip I have had no problems with any type of misfire or jam.

And if you carry it in your pocket, clean it once in a while

[SJSAMPLE]

THIS is why criminal gangs should be treated as terrorists.

“I see a red sash, I kill the man wearing it!”

[T-Bone Texan]

I am not a gun person, but I live in TX so I am compelled to own guns.

I know very little except for gun safety rules.

One of the basics that I DO know is that you should get your gun familiar with the ammo you plan to feed it the day the ghetto people come a’knocking.

[patro]

Also, learn “TAP, RACK, BANG”. In this case, RACK, BANG.

[Mouton]

That would be good advice for sure.

[papertyger]

...but a spent shell casing lodged itself in the gun, rendering it useless

What a nightmare.

May not have changed a thing, but I've always been taught "good equipment forgives a lot of sins."

[catnipman]

Here's a pic of the dozen sons of obama who've have been charged in a gang RICO case for the assassination of the couple:

I think you have put something expensive in my mind.
