Sybeck1~:” What kind of gun killed her husband? “

A Ruger P-89 , 9mm pistol , firing Winchester/Olin Black Talon rounds. Fired 30 rounds: 6 killed,19 wounded.
The Black Talon rounds are jacketed , hollow point with perforations to expand on contact with tissue.
The perp , Colin Feruson , was paranoid and delusional.
He opened fire on 12/07/93 on a Long Island RR , during rush hour, as the train started to enter the station.
He was temporarily subdued by other passenegers ,
and was shot by an off duty officer who was at the station waiting his wife who was on that train .

Interesting enough , knowing that we are in a letigious society , there is a court case :
(Mc Carthy vs. Strum,Ruger ,& Company ; 916 F. Supp. 366 (S.D.N.Y. 1996 ))
The court case was dismissed - no defective design

The fact that he was apprehended and then shot by an off-duty officer
signifies the need for an armed society.

From an expert : “ The average number of people shot in a mass shooting event when the shooter is stopped by law enforcement: 14.
The average number of people shot in a mass shooting event when the shooter is stopped by civilians: 2.5.
The reason is simple.
The armed civilians are there when it started.” ~ by Larry Correia
