Oh well that would be not seeing men in shorts for the gal. However I think what is sexy is a man's lean pelvic area and the young college guys now a days all wear their pants hanging low so I get plenty of eye candy. :)That's a fad I won't be following. lol

I can't believe I missed this thread and this story until somebody mentioned it today.
Two points -
1. Adequate range time and familiarity with a firearm are essential to speed and accuracy while shooting. It is apparent that this particular assailant had not bothered to take the time necessary to successful performance.
2. Any successful hunter knows that game has to be flushed out from any cover, whether it is fowl or mammalian, as cover not only allows the prey an opportunity to obscure movement, it can actully deflect shots.

Damn, I really missed a lot of fun, didn't I?

What is there to be unsure of in a man who is convinced that Queen Elizabeth II runs an international drug cartel? So when QEII goes into a druglord rage, is it the "Tony Montana" kind (stuffing her face in a pile of cocaine and then machine gunning everybody in the room), the quiet Columbian kind (a nod to the thugs by the door, who quickly cut the throat of the miscreant, followed up by hit squads to dispose of all members of the miscreant's family)or the cool, hip hop rapper ho daddy kind (the kind where she's talking then suddenly brings the pistol up sideways, emptying a clip)?

Silly person, Elizabethan queens always sniff, "Off with 'is head!"

You've a point - I forgot about that one, which has a sinister sort of Bond villain subtext.
Still, Queen Liz as Tony Montana does leave a charming mental image.
To: Chancellor Palpatine
A weapon like that would never fit into her purse.

To be fair, full auto operation plays hell with white gloves, too. It tends to spatter and smoke up lubricant, plus there is residue to contend with. Those hats she wears aren't real good with sites, either.
To: Chancellor Palpatine
I kinda favor the sideways-pistol approach if I'm wearing a goofy hat.

I couldn't picture her with anything more than a snubnosed revolver in her handbag. She probably gets a 6'6", bearded, kilted Scot to do her dirty work for her.

Make sure you buy those "homeboyz sights"......
To: Chancellor Palpatine
Was it Registered or Lazamataz who came up with those?

I thought it originated elsewhere. There was a great moment in that Queen Latifah-Steve Martin movie where Eugene Levy has a pistol on the bad guys, and Latifah reaches up and turns it sideways.
To: wimpycat
Deep down, you realize that the Queen is some kinda freaky chick - she's got stuff in that handbag that would drop your jaw.....
To: Chancellor Palpatine
Maybe the pistol is one of those shape-shifting ones that morphs from a snub-nose to an M16/M203, just as Queen E morphs into a lizard-like alien...

That's entirely possible. Hey, why limit the frontiers of fantasy, since we're already talking about QE2 as head of an international drug cartel?
To: wimpycat; Poohbah
I picture her as a bit of a Blofeld type, lots of those long cigarette holders and grey Mao suits.
To: Chancellor Palpatine
You're sick.
To: Chancellor Palpatine
What WAS it with those damn Mao suits, anyway? Blofeld had ZERO fashion sense. He could've used help from "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy."
