Mr. Thompson was interviewed on Fox News this morning. He needs to move out of Leftist Oregon.
“Gallup identified four Western states as extremely liberal. With a progressive population of 26.4 percent, Washington State and Oregon are the most left-leaning states in the West.”

An Oregon man, a veteran, has had rifle confiscated and is facing criminal charges after he attempted to stop a wanted felon from breaking into his home by firing a warning shot
“Police later determined he wasn’t justified in firing his weapon. Medford Police Lt. Mike Budreau said “there was nothing that the suspect was doing that was aggressive enough to justify the shooting.”
Thompson was charged with unlawful use of a weapon, menacing and reckless endangering. The veteran’s AR-15 was seized by police because they claim it was used in the commission of a crime.”
Yes, he need badly to move out of Oregon, after his trial.
What a mess.
NUTS!
Last I heard you can still own a Thompson (semi-auto),
I had a customer in NM who had one beside his desk in his office. He carried a fully auto version during WWII. He was a great guy.
A Thompson is a heavy weapon. I was shocked when I lifted up one in the gun store. Much heavier than an AR-15 even WITHOUT a magazine.
The “warning” shot comes “after” your first shot puts down the perp.
While at a gun show I hefted both a Thompson and a MAC-10 in rifle configuration.
I found the MAC-10 better balanced and lighter. I did not get to fire them so can’t make a judgement on how they worked.
I did shoot an imitation Thompson, and while it would feed ammo by hand operating, I found it would jam if fired on every two or three rounds.
So is an M-1
