Please do elucidate on your extensive firearms and ballistics background. Earlier you made some assertions that would lead me to believe that you have lots of opinions about several fields in which you have no experience. Experience is not required to have an opinion, but it certainly helps people take you seriously. It seems to me, being taken seriously is at the top of your priorities here rather than exchange of information or ideas.
Then you should maybe refrain from offering opinions about medical issues. And, from what's posted here, legal issues as well.
My comments were, clearly, aimed at your attempt to describe what rounds would do to the human body. You know... the medical nonsense you posted.
I don't think watching "Gunsmoke" re-runs really counts...
No, this portion of the thread came about when you made wildly inaccurate claims about the effect of a round on the human body. If you can't keep the various silly things you post straight in your head, maybe you should keep notes?
Yes correct, and when not hunting or at shooting range it should be locked up in weapons safe. Even at home, you cant just keep a gun in your closet, even if you have license.
Yes, you can not bring along batons or sticks explicitly designed as a weapon, such as nun-chucks and even baseball bats. Unless you are at the basefall field that is. If you goto a bar and have a baseball bat under your jacket just in case, that is illegal.
What if I keep the gun out, but lock the firing pin in the safe? Does that count?
Not sure, I'm not a weapon law expert, but I can guess that as long as the weapon is not in a usable conditions (such as critical parts missing) it would be better. But if you walk around with it to threaten people in public, it proably doesnt matter if it's not loaded or missing a firing pin. Even if you don't flash it, it could presumably be for "self defense" in case you need to show it, and then it is likely illegal.
Probably. Not necessarily. There are plenty of cases where the bad guy was alive, and then sued the homeowner.

And you still may, even if you don't. Personally, I am going to make a judgement based on the specific circumstances at that instant. If those circumstances make me think it's better that the bad guy is dead, then I'm going to do my best to admit them to the Eternal Care Unit.

If they make me think it's best if I run, then I'll use my best Run-Fu and Shoebaru my way out of there. Or whatever.
But in no case is my goal achieving the optimal outcome for the bad guy.
This brings a question to my mind, if you shoot and disable but dont kill the intruder, will you render life saving aid ?Probably. Not necessarily. There are plenty of cases where the bad guy was alive, and then sued the homeowner.

Of course.
Just curious, Im not judging. I wonder how that plays into the whole scenario and what happens after. Obviously, it would be a case by case, and maybe even state by state difference. I’m not a lawyer so I wouldn’t know.
I have no idea what the legal implications might be. But ethically and morally, if they're no longer a threat and are still alive, I feel an obligation to do what I can.
Again, no dog in this fight(see what I did there). I wonder how various types of training might affect this for someone who spent time in combat. No judgement, just curious.
It would normally be the same. Contrary to popular belief, we do render aid to wounded enemy combatants.
Certainly, I didnt mean to suggest otherwise.
No worries. If anything, they should be better prepared as all service members receive first aid training, and most combat specialties receive combat lifesaver training.
Depends. Whether you’re hitting a Russian trench, or a terrorist compound, you’re worried about combatants triggering explosives. If there‘s any doubt, you’re aiming for the head, making sure it cannot generate any signals. US forces refer to this as “canoeing,” European counter-terror police units refer to it as “critical shot.” There are enough cases of Russian soldiers going out with a grenade, Ukrainian forces aren’t quick to take prisoners.
Alright, I've had hundreds of hours of firearms instruction both in the classroom and on the range, I've fired thousands and thousands of rounds and I've fired all sorts of different guns in different calibers from .22 pistols to the .600 Overkill rifle that is designed to take down the largest game in the world. I've fired single shot muzzle loaders, single action only revolvers, double action revolvers, break open shotguns, lever action rifles, pump shotguns, semi automatic pistols and rifles, and full automatics and some of my instruction has been in the use of full automatics.
Most impressive, and somewhat perplexing. I’ve had very similar instruction. I’m surprised by some of what you’ve posted considering your experience. Maybe you want to co star in my C grade action movie? Larpsky and Crutch? It’s sure to be a sleeper. I’m joking, even though I know you don’t like it when I joke during serious discussion.
The case that I posted about in post #41 where a woman shot herself in the foot with a handgun in a class and was back the next day and finished the class happened at a shooting school I was going to and it was told to me by the instructors at the school so if you don't believe it you can argue with the instructors.
Haven't seen a single episode. If you want details on my background with firearms see post #218.
As I said, you can argue with the instructors at the shooting school where it happened if you disagree with it, about the woman shooting herself in the foot and being back the next day.
The notes are all in the thread, seeing what you've posted (or what other people have posted) in the past is a simple matter of looking back in the thread.
