A Dallas store manager using his handgun to fend off an attempted robbery by five armed robbers. There's also audio of the 911 call from the Dallas store manager asking for police help because of the robbery. Reports indicate he asked for police to come because the armed men had tried to rob his store. The store manager shot at the men with a .38 Caliber revolver, sending the robbers scurrying away, and wounding one of them twice. But his call was misclassified because the operator did not understand he was saying in his frantic call that he had shot one of the robbers, and it took police an hour to arrive. In fact, it was so long, the manager went home and was called back by police when the did arrive.
It takes a "good guy with a gun" to ward off five armed robbers.
> Response time for 911 call: 74 minutes
Response time for .357 Magnum: 14,200 feet per second

Definitely more reactive than proactive
“Response time for .357 Magnum: 14,200 feet per second “
I think you have an extra zero there. Only a few rounds do more than Mach 3...and Pistol rounds generally don’t do more than half that.
Missed it by a decimal point. You must have a PhD. They do it all the time. See global warming.

There was a major NOAA model output that had a 4 Septillion degree error in one month, that apparently made no difference in the graph. The model results were fairly widely used, and went undiscovered for years until they finally released the details.

Once upon a dark time, “sheep” were irrationally afraid for their lives, so the government in its profound wisdom, decided to make sure “sheep” had nothing to be afraid by registering & taking away the “fear.”

When you need them most, police are only 74 minutes away.

Dang....the muzzle flash probably looks like the center of the sun... :P
Uh-how. How ya like me now, smart guy. Notice how I refrained from piling on and mocking your obviously erroneous information. Let this be a lesson to you.
I’d need it to travel at .9999999999999999 C, at which time, an 11.7 gram bullet would weigh 641 tons.
Yeah. Drag and gravity can be a Melissa Harris-Perry.
Just think, though. If we could overcome drag and gravity, the bullet could travel through time and hit the target before you pull the trigger.
