While it’s nice to share, one really should bring your own gun to a gunfight.

Very close, but two articles describe the same event, so the score is 2 / 0. The trifecta eludes us for another day.

One DOT, a million to go.
Goings, going, GONE!
Where’s Claw with the Whiz Wheel?
The Whiz Wheel is PFD (Present For Duty) this fine, snowy Friday morning, so let’s give it a couple of spins. The results are:
LaVion Goings Jr. (DOT) 26 x 3 = 78
Terrence C. Coulanges (DOT) 25 x 3 = 75
I hope she got her gun back?
I think that might be a misprint (shocked face). From what I could tell on the video the perp ran one way and she crossed the street the other way. She appeared to still have her piece in her hand. I may be mistaken.
Either way that dirtbag is DOT and will not be assaulting officers or attempting to rob folks on their way to work. Plus there is now an opening at the Jr. College and in the choir. One less dindu that was turning his life around. Yahoo article alluded to a survey of 2937 shootings in Chistan in ’18.
The New Jersey story? Well, it’s Joirsey, whatdaya expect? Thin the herd.
Maybe she’ll get his gun too (free), unless it can be linked to other crimes, since the news seems to have reported it as hers… though I think Illinois keeps really good tabs on legally owned guns…not so much the other kind!
Claw,
Please.
Fire up the wheel.
For all parties involved.
(My apologies to Sister Mary Grace for improper grammar…)
(see above…)
Thanks, Claw.
You dodged a bullet, 3/10. SMG is NORDO at this time. A resupply mission is under way.
Roger.
Awaiting incoming…
Ignore her “no” at your own risk, you will not be able to ignore her “bang, bang, bang”.
How’s this for good news: Jayme Closs is alive and free! See https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2019/01/11/Missing-Wisconsin-girl-approached-dog-walker-to-end-3-month-mystery/3421547210532/?ls=1.
Indeed it is indeed good news, CCO.

A short trial and a good hangin’ are in order.

Yes, a nice, fair, thorough trial, with all the ‘i’s dotted and ‘t’s’ crossed is in order. I could probably scare up a piece of rope myself if the state of Wisconsin can’t.
If we brought back public hangings, they would be a deterrent. They always deter the hanged murderer from further crimes.
That is very ballsy of the Chicago woman, drawing her gun on a drawn gun.
Many criminals’ guns are unloaded, have the wrong ammo, or are non functional.
But you cannot know that when they first point it at you.
Good for her!
Weren’t you interested in a wheel gun awhile back?
Here is a beaut that AW1Ed would approve.

8-3/8″ barrel? Run dry on .357 Mags and just reverse your grip and use it as a bludgeon.
Good price point though….
…stop that, dammit.
But we wants it, my precious…
I believe the rear sight screws will accept a scope mount without further drilling. Dunno but if it stays south of six Benjamins I will bid.
Nice hunting sidearm for protection when things go awry.
You’re not helping, you know.
fap,fap,fap,fap,fap,fap,fap,fap,fap,fap,fap.
LaAvion ?
Really? Guy didn’t have a chance. Tough shit
