Definitely the WRONG house.
I’m not sad.
John was def not there in search of terminators.
Maybe he mistook (definitely past tense) “termites” for “terminators”?
Trying to turn off Skynet.
I thought we were past the funky experimental guns. I’m sure there are plenty more niche guns for ‘Ed to torment us with.
Seriously though, the Rhino may be the closest to a practical gun of all the fugly ones out there.
Good concept, to put the barrel at the bottom of the cylinder, reducing recoil and muzzle flip. Now if Chiappa could only do something about the heavy trigger pull, and the cylinder gap “bite” (among other problems that I’m sure we haven’t heard about yet).
And the clockwork innards must be a nightmare for any gunsmith.
When it comes to revolvers, the old-timey designs seem to rule. The Colt SAA’s, the Smith & Wessons, and Rugers seem to be very reliable, fool proof, and easy to wield.
This is local to me and is exactly why I don’t pay any attention to local media any more than I do national: They’re a bunch of leftist hacks who wouldn’t know the truth if it bit them on the ass.
The victim’s status in this as an off duty state cop is utterly and completely irrelevant.
Being a cop does not negate or add any additional requirements upon the right to defend yourself with deadly force if necessary.
He was not a cop in that instance, he was a citizen defending his home and his actions were completely justified and lawful.
The “journalist” spent the entire article discussing the use of force by on-duty police officers, which was utterly irrelevant to the story.
BTW: she strangely didn’t quote a single neighborhood resident to justify her assertion (without evidence) that the community was “grappling with shock and sadness” over a criminal being removed from the gene pool.
Products of commercial media outlets should be required to post a Surgeon General’s warning: “Caution: the Surgeon General has determined that consuming this product has been proven to cause ignorance and may result in reductions of mental cognition.”
She’s been around before. Guess she likes us!
I like the fully armed naughty librarian look.
