Barrett M107A1
Possibly not my first choice for home defense..
Dover shooting death ruled self-defense
By: Staff reports
DOVER — The person who shot and killed Raymond Eldridge II outside Castaways Boathouse bar and restaurant in December and claimed he acted in self-defense will face no charges stemming from the incident, authorities announced Wednesday.
New Hampshire Attorney General Gordon MacDonald and Dover Police Chief Bill Breault said in a statement that while Justin Sabbattis, 46, had credibility issues, “the state cannot disprove Mr. Sabattis’ claim of self-defense beyond a reasonable doubt.”
Around 10 p.m. on Dec. 18, Dover police officers were called to Castaways for a report of a man brandishing a handgun. When police arrived, Eldridge was outside the restaurant fallen by a pickup truck with a gunshot wound to the chest, Gordon and Breault said. Despite attempts to assist him, he died from that single gunshot wound.

Allentown man allegedly pulls knife in road rage incident
Chase started in Allentown, ended in S. Whitehall
By: Edward Sieger
S. WHITEHALL TWP., Pa. – When South Whitehall Township police responded to a reported road rage incident Wednesday, officers arrived to find the suspect being held at gunpoint by a witness.Matthew J. Gavilanes, of South Fifth Street in Allentown, faces assault charges following his arrest in the 3000 block of Tilghman Street. District Judge Rashid Santiago arraigned the 18-year-old hours after his arrest, setting bail at $25,000.
Township police were dispatched to the scene about 1 p.m. for a report of a fight involving a knife. Officers arrived to find Gavilanes on the ground being held at gunpoint by a witness, according to court records.
The victim told police that Gavilanes started chasing him through Allentown over a road rage incident and followed him to the scene, according to records. The chase started at 24th and Hamilton streets, and Gavilanes allegedly ran red lights to catch the victim. Court records do not detail the alleged road rage incident that sparked the chase.
The victim alleges Gavilanes swung a large knife at his abdomen, threatening to kill him. He reportedly punched Gavilanes in the face and wrestled him to the ground.
Township police said a surveillance video of the incident shows Gavilanes pull into a parking lot, begin arguing with the victim and back into a parking spot. He’s seen taking something from the trunk of his car and putting it in his waistband. Gavilanes then approaches the victim, pulls the item from his waistband and slashes at the victim.
A witness told police that Gavilanes continued to try to stab the victim and threatened to kill him while on the ground.

Where’s the honey-lamb this morning?
Yeah, where is the Miss Thang? Already depressed enough, all my Family is gone, didn’t get my full house 5 of a kind, on the WOT (bite me ChipNASA and quit gloating Pappy Stranger), gloomy muggy hot, and now, NO eye candy. DaHell? Does Mi’Lady Ex-PH2 have incriminating pictures of you? Are you skeered? Do you need for some of us more studly muffins to do some beefcake poses for you?
Winning score 2 outa 3. Guess homeboy in PA didn’t realize he was toting a knife to an azz whipping.
Nice little plinking piece up top. For those that want to do long distance plinking.
I’ll be in the basement with charles w. Taking a bottle and some staples. You know he has a red swingline…and a drinking problem.
Oh, for Pete’s sake! Here! Happy now?

(Ex-PH2 goes back to potting petunias.)
We lub you! I have cookies…and vanilla bean or red velvet cake ice cream….and catheads…with thick sliced applewood smoked bacon.
I never gave my petunias any pot, does it make them bloom better? (dodges thrown cast iron skillet, heading to New Bern Wisconsin wid Thunderstixx)
Now that’s more like it… but I like my gun bunnies to be 34A/B, with a mix of Lindsay Wagner and Pam Dawber and a double shot of Goldie Hawn 🙂
Nonetheless, any port in a storm and that link is a veritable hurricane hole of combat ready cuties!
Agree, the Barrett is not first choice for home defense. At least not the up close and personal kind. It’s more the Ma Bell style, “reach out and touch someone”.
Depends if you live near Jurassic Park, or Perfection Nevada.
Here’s one that is not of a citizen using a weapon, but a citizen that “chose poorly.”

Deputies received calls about a disturbance between neighbors arguing over feeding feral cats in the area, Ivey said.
One of the residents then became severely agitated when approached by the deputy and went behind a vehicle and charged a rifle, a sound the deputy, a military veteran, was able to recognize.
When he came around the vehicle, he fired at the deputy and the two exchanged several rounds of gunfire. The deputy fired off all rounds in his magazine, reloaded and fired several more shots, according to [Brevard County Sheriff Wayne] Ivey.
The subject was pronounced dead at the scene, and the the deputy was in stable condition. Neither the deputy nor the deceased subject have been identified by the Sheriff’s Office.
When visited by Ivey at the hospital, the deputy told him simply, “I won.”

Why? Hostile action? Misidentification? Was it part of the Seven Days War?
