Another event where three fellows with bad intent show up, but only two remain above room temperature and in the wind. Bad guys missed stats day in remedial math class, I suppose. Thanks for the link, Gun Bunny.

I have no desire to work in a Convenience, or any other kind of store, but if I did, there is no way in hell that I would be there unarmed. And I would profile like I always do. I do that just shopping there. Greensboro gummint should give the clerk an award for doing his part to beautify the neighborhood. He is removing the blight, one round at a time.
The city should also reimburse the store clerk for the cost of the round(s) shot at the bad guys. That stuff ain’t cheap.
That Savage 110 Pistol System proves the adage, “just because you can, doesn’t mean you should”. A real W-T-F were they thinking?
The Savage 110 rifle is a different story. Beautiful, clean lines, sleek, ergonomic.
Dumbass in San Pablo shoulda went to Burger King…you can have it your way there. As it was, got himself into a real pickle and he became the slab of dead meat.
NC dirtbag really got his ass smoked in that shop. Then his “buddies” lit out on him.
“…just because you can doesn’t mean you should.” Yeppers, ’bout like all them fellas saying they would hit that Ms TikTok Thang. *shudder* At least that PCS Abomination is made of metal, so there is that.
That’s why I showcased the critter, Tox. A lefty bolt action handgun must be useful for something. Exactly what that may be is beyond the scope of my post.
Try this on for size. It’s a little heavy for a “pistol,” but I like it!

The right ammo combination with a pistol such as this will give a’plenty range. Also add to it some states have a handgun season for deers, they’ve been popular for some time (See: Thompson Center Contender-series)
With the proliferation of pistol braces (see: rear pic rail) and the ease of paying the $200 extortion to the BATFE to form 1 this into a Short Barreled Rifle trust me when I say: they’ll sell.
I’m honestly considering building one as a suppressor host, 10 inches + 7.5 inches = dang near 18 inches…
There has been competition in this niche market for some time but these guy’s’ll prob get my dough before savage https://jtacindustries.com/ now that they’re no longer under Vista Outdoors whose stock I’m hodling.
May only be a niche market but it’s over 50 years old. Bolt pistols like the XP100 did real well on the silhouette and hunting circuits, and like Contenders, offer a ton of accuracy in a small package. Being a lefty gun makes sense, too…your right hand stays on the grip, your left works the bolt. Faster and less awkward than a right bolt.
But…..but…..this Savage 110 pistol system looks so WRONG.
A pistol with a bolt action? Awkward.
Holding a pistol like a Thompson sub-gun. Awkward.
Not allowed to “shoulder” it? Awkward.
Needing only 16″ of length to get the same performance and accuracy almost 3′ rifles? Not awkward in my book.
If the perp would have BURGERlized the burger place after closing, he wouldn’t be dead meat now
I’m mentally “seeing” a scene from Fried Green Tomatoes, where the asshole abusive husband got “whacked” (literally) and made into BBQ (the best ever, according to the sheriffs looking for him).
So, the next time you go to a Fast Food place, do a little research in the news and see if anyone recently tried to rob the place and got put down. There may be a little something “extra” in that ‘burger you’re biting into.
Well…if cats don’t wanna be eaten maybe they should stop being soooo tasty? Jus’sayin’

Dumbass.
Is it just me or does the San Pablo story read like they were surprised the off duty police officer was able to hit his target?!!
