not defending or damming anyone here...
just wondering if we know for a fact what type/cal the BBQ CCW guy was carrying.

not sure if it was posted and I missed it or if its just been assumed.

I've searched around and couldn't find anything on it.

[Byte Stryke]

anyone else?

Hey Byte- you're working for a living. Time to sign off, hang out with the wife and kiss some ass.

Not in any of the news stories I've read.

I think I know where you are going with the question, but I'd rather not assume. Why do you ask?

I would think the type of ammunition he had loaded would be as important if not possibly more important than the caliber. This couldn't possibly turn into a "his gun was poop" thread would it?

I was wondering that myself. And I would also would like to know about the AK. Was it SA or FA? did it belong to the guy using it legally or was it stolen?

Don't know the answers, but I'd say its a safe bet that it's a semi-auto and he stole it.
If it was a select-fire, he there would likely be a much higher body count... why select targets when you can mow them all down?
If he legally owned it, the lefties would all be screaming more than they normally do about how all of us gun nuts are lunatics and blah blah blah.
I could be wrong though.

Whatever they BBQ guy was carrying, there's no excuse to not have a carry piece capable of getting the job done.

Now, on the subject of training... someone mentioned this (a Systema instructor) and I think it might be worth trying.
Do an intense workout before training, and then when you train, focus on your form... your draw, mag changes, etc. The idea is that your body, being sore and all, will tend to do things in the most efficient motions it can, and the training will make those efficient motions come natural to you.

I'd say don't eat for 24 hours. I don't know about you guys, but sometimes, when I don't eat for even 8 hours, I start getting pretty shaky and can't focus worth a damn.

Is this a joke?

Getting what job done? I carry a glock19 with an x300. There are a number of jobs that it's not capable of getting done.

No one has a crystal ball. People don't get to schedule gun fights in the civilian world or predetermine what the circumstances surrounding the event might be.

That is exactly why I wanted to know about it being his legally, I wanted to see how long it was before everyone started talking about the evil Assault Rifle. And for the FA question I would wonder as to why he did not kill more people, and if he was dropped by someone with a CCG what would be the likely hood of a few rounds getting squeezed out of the AK. I went out to Pawnee and shot @ a 3 liter bottle about 45 to 50 yards out with one of my carry guns 38 special with 2 inch barrel, also had the one I built with a 4 inch barrel (wasted alot of ammo with that one) any way I hit it maybe 10 times out of 100 rounds half of those were wasted in my very inaccurate 4 inch 38. I would not take that shot with my P3AT butt I still carry it. I dont carry it to make long range shots I carry it to protect me and my family when we are out. I would have to be forced into pulling it. the last altercation I got into I had some Gang members start some crap with me and a friend of mine over their kids throwing rocks at his custom painted Motorcycle. my buddy whent over to talk to the parents and it got way out of hand, there was 3 of them and 1 of my friend, so I walked over had my 1911 in a IWB holster and one of the guys had a beer bottle full he thought he was going to hit me with, the other had a baseball bat. To make a long story short I never pulled my gun so no one got shot, I used my head and got everyone to calm down and talk about what was going on. now I could have very well pulled my gun and ended it a different way being that I was trying to protect a friend, but I did not feel the need to. Now most of the time you do not get a chance to talk your way out of things, but my point is you dont pull unless you absolutely have to.
