Poor victim selection skills and worse tactics result in well-deserved perforations.
Caution.

Simon says, “I FAFO”.
Folks tend to get a little crabby when one tries to steal their vehicle.
Good shooting, Officer. Don’t carry any guilt for doing what had to be done. One (1) less nutjob.
Brady Bill? *spits*
I knew we’d see some purty snubby wheelies before the week was over.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. The dumbass will surely enjoy life in lockup after his fellow inmates discover that he was dumb enough to try and carjack someone who was ready and packing, he’ll also have the scars to remind him every day of the rest of his life!
It would be great if those wounds ached for the rest of his life.
Does point out the wisdom of not relying exclusively on a pocket carry – when you are sitting in a car seat the gun is almost inaccessible. A sin I am all to guilty of…
Getting to a gun while seatbelted requires some prior planning.
Flip side: it is almost impossible to get blood and brains out of vehicle upholstey. (Grin)
You just need advice from Mr Wolfe
Left inside coat pocket.
Seatbelt keeps it secure but still easy draw with right hand.
Yeah, prior planning and a little practice.
Sh*t’s about to go down:
Good ol’ boy Democrat foreign policy is good business for Democrats and their cronies…
Those are some gorgeous grips on that J-Frame. I wonder if they offer an unfluted cylinder? I have always preferred the look of unfluted.
