    When I was 17 I was 6 1 and 210 pounds. Benching over 300 pounds playing and lettering in several high school sports. Many of the kids these days are bigger and stronger than that. Many of these kids are constantly active , walking here and there where as most adults are not as active. Yeah we go to the 24 hour fitness, or jog but were mostly not on the move all the time. Underestimating a potential threat because of age could be a disaster.

    I will be interested in hearing whether TM tried to buy some cough syrup with his Arizona Ice Tea and Skittles. A little Drank for the evening?

    If GZ had been an off-duty LEO residing in the community rather than neighborhood watch, would this case have gone much differently?

    When I was in uniform, 14 year olds were the most frightening individuals I dealt with. Very unpredictable and no matter how things went, I knew it would not reflect well on me or the department.

    I'm not really following the trial that closely, but will be watching for the verdict and the aftermath.

    Hopefully with that training it would of meant that one person was still alive and the other was not awaiting trial for murder.

    Very accurate statement! I witness this all the time, saw it again a few minutes ago. If I had to guess, the young man wasn't out of his teens. About 6'2 but not "buff" by most standards, putting up 300 on incline bench like it was nothing, I can't do that.

    Michael Savage seems to think that if you carry a gun with a round chambered and the "safety off," well, you get the picture....

    I don't even know where to start with all the fail in this idiot's opinion piece...

    My Keltec must be a mankiller for sure....it doesn't even HAVE an external safety. Much like a revolver, the safety is a function of not pulling the damn trigger unless one intends to shoot something...
    Light a fire for a man, and he'll be warm for a day, light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life...

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

    What an idiot. I can't stand Savage, even I agree with some of his opinions. He shows he knows nothing about guns.

    I think it's all about comfort level. If carrying a firearm with a round chambered freaks you out by all means leave the chamber empty. It'd be wise to train for that though and it will take a lot of muscle memory to be fast enough to defeat a threat with that extra step. I don't subscribe to that philosophy but that's just me.
