Hard to be a public safety risk from the county Medical Examiner’s slab.

Although the end result, I don’t think this was a suicide-by-cop incident. I think the thug, by whatever alchemy, actually believed he could challenge the police and prevail. Thanks for the links, Gun Bunny.

The Texas incident just continues prove the adage, “I fought the law and the law won”.
I think what the reporter meant was that there was no risk to public safety from the unknown suspect inside the house that killed the intruder.
Where’s Sister Mary with her wooden ruler? Some knuckles need cracking, and some lessons need learning in proper grammar and writing.
Also, where’s ExPH2, the Mother Lioness of TAH? Haven’t heard from her in too long.
Ex is doing fine, thanks. I’ll pass on your concern.
Thanks, Ed.
Miss seeing her here. Give her our love, please.
So mote it be. Amen.
The Chiappas are an interesting series of guns.
I like the idea of the underslung barrel to lower the axis of fire.
But IIRC, I read that they have a complex inner mechanism. Why? I’ll bet a good engineer could simplify the inner works and make it more robust. (and improve the trigger)
That underbarrel doesn’t really mitigate recoil that much. Plus the fugly picture of that fugly gun doesn’t really show how fugly it really is. For the kind of money they want for it you could pick u a tuned model 27 or 28 Smith.

A woke sheriff is held accountable for his lies.
Yeah, that second one is definitely NOT a FGS… at least the perp died too, but damn sure not an even trade..

Makes you wonder what Mr. Deadguyshitbag ever did that was so special since he wasn’t as valuable a member of the community as a dog.
A Tuesday twofer DRT beats a Tuesday TikTok every.damn.time! Two less oxygen stealing parasites on society. The gene pool is a little bit cleaner.
That Rhino is appropriately named, ’cause it is shorely fugly like a rhino. And to add to the fugliness insult, a segueing into a plethora of fugly plasticized abominations. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. You done lost that lovin’ feelin’ for us again? Careful, there may be a Payback.
Teach a pig its proper place…on a smoker, grill, or in a frying pan. “…and on the eighth day, God created bacon.” Way to go to The Real Big Guy.
No grillin’ today. Raining cats & dogs.
But that’s perfectly fine, we NEED this precipitating moisture out here in the Intermountain West.
I think we’ve gotten more precip so far then we did all last winter season.
And all I can say is “TY, God, for Thy Blessings.”
Testify! None of the precip made it down this far…yet. The bliz-zard is hung up t’other side of the ATL…and they can have it. The cold air made it down and helped my locally Veteran Owned hardware store sell a boat load of plumbing supplies so there is that. 9 degrees at 0gawd30 Saturday morning, 13 at noon. My pipes froze, but no breaks found…yet. And for that I do give Him Thanks. It’s a balmy 56 now and the Friday outlook is for the high 60s. Messed up my trip to the Sunshine State, but with His Blessings, I may be able to head out come Monday. The Mother Hens aren’t real happy about me driving that far alone, but if I don’t find a shotgun rider by then Imma firing up my Prime Mover with the auto tranny and nail the cruise control on 77mph. Leave the 6 speed turbo parked.
Considering a ride to Dakota next summer, that should put me in at least your time zone.
My grill/smoker is in the pole barn, can cook there year round. Ham smoking for New Years.
Isn’t it rather difficult to find enough rolling paper to smoke that ham?
