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

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.

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

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.

“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.

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

THIS is why criminal gangs should be treated as terrorists.

...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."

Prior to the TBA that claimed all of my firearms in early November of 2008, I used to keep a half-dozen or so revolvers around the house in addition to the semi-auto pistols and shotguns.

They are extremely reliable, and when chambered for .357 magnum they pack quite a wallop.

In my experience, if one doesn’t hold the semi-auto firmly, stovepipes are more likely to happen.

Wonder if soetoro will mention these 2 "Crackers" like he talked about trayvon and brown?

I think not.

Oh, look - if Obama had a son, he'd look like any one of these "Nuffin Gang" thugs...

Of course, the chilluns would probably have to convert to Islam, to be just like dear old Dad Barack...

Several things:
  1. If you want to work with a SA, learn it. Learn:
    • How to prevent stovepipes with a proper, firm grip.
    • Learn how to clear a jam: Slightly drop mag, ram it back home, and rack once.
  2. Clean your defense weapon no less than 2 times a year, firing it or not.
  3. Oil it lightly once every cleaning. Yes, even Glocks need a touch of oil. I found that out the hard way. A weapon, 10 years unused, with no oil, failed to cycle.
