The perp had priors. Figures.

Figures indeed. Once again, our Justice System depends upon the public to do its job for them.

The lesson for all of us is “Never leave your home unarmed!”

Corollary is, “Range time is important!”

Taxman Bravo Zulu to this Armed American!

The shooter had a concealed-carry permit in Philly?

Isn’t that hard to get?

Those neck shots really make a red sticky mess on the floor.

The walls, the ceiling, and the people around them. Well done!

I would say adequate to the job at best.

The man needs more range time.

He should have been aiming for center mass. If he was, he hit at least 10 inches high.

At the distance he was likely to shooting, I would say that adequate is the best rating I can give the shot.

Granted this is a young man in an intense situation. But that is why we practice.

I do give him credit for firing only one shot. The man went down and he stopped firing. Presence of mind and threat assessment. Good job. Some cops don’t do as well.

How much cash would they have?

And they will have lots of surveillance cameras.

Maybe he was trying to go back to jail. Get a little cash for a quick fling on the town. Then straight back home.

Everyone who legally can should own a Glock.

It is the AK-47 of handguns.

My question is if he will ever get it back?

The dead perp would cost how much money to prosecute and then feed and house in prison for a year? I think I remember $30,000???

He should get a reward and he should be honored as a community hero.

Agreed.

I'm not in love with mine, I'm a 1911 guy at heart. But...the Glock goes bang every time I pull the trigger, it's more accurate than I am, and if the finish gets roughed up from use I can take it down to Georgia and they'll refinish it *while you wait*.

What is the probable cause that the weapon is stolen or has been used in other crimes?

Very low, but it’s still SOP for the cops. He may get his weapon back in 6 months to a year.....................

There was a case around here years ago where a man’s weapon was taken by the cops, after a similar incident, to be checked out. Apparently it was a really nice, expensive one, I don’t recall what.

After a long while he wanted his gun back and they had ‘lost’ it somehow....................
