I unfortunately live in the same city as this over-litigious moron...what is this world coming to?

Arrrrrr...stupid cop! How many damn times does he have to be told.
And two in the head.
AND TWO IN THE HEAD.
AND TWO IN THE HEAD!

Guyute · 04-16-2005, 09:42 PM

LOL I'll have to remember that myself...

BTW I think cops around here carry 9mm's- maybe if he had Dirty Harry's or Mack Bolan's Automag the perp would still be in-flight...and not wasting taxpayer's money (There is a big debate, I believe, over whether cops should carry 9mm's vs a higher-calibre weapon).

Wow, I haven't heard about the Executioner in a long, long time...

A friend of mine. law enforcement, carries a 10 MM. The only guy he ever had to shoot he only had to shoot once. He shot him in the leg and it incapacitated him.

Target pratice is to be on upcoming training schedule

Did he get sued?

Yep, but it's not flying. He's lucky the adrenaline had kicked in, otherwise it would have been center mass. My buddy's a good shot.

Many of our local departments carry .40s. A couple of them have 9s, and one department, bless it's little heart, is brave enough to carry .45s. (that's brave in the sense of are more concerned over the safety of their officers than they are about being sued when one of their officers shoots through a wall).

Troubleshooter: I went through a big Mack Bolan phase when I was about 12-14, thereabouts...I was totally enraptured by this series- I read almost all of them in about two years. I loved reading about his Automag...I kind of got into the spin-offs (Stony man stuff, Phoenix Force, etc.) but no series ever was as electrifying as the first thirty or so Bolan books.

Imagine if this really happened?

You think that it doesn't, in some form or another?

wolf · 04-18-2005, 10:06 AM

I never read Bolan, but was a big fan of The Survivalist, and The Mercenary. Both were written by Jerry Ahern, but The Mercenary was under a pen name more in line with the manly manliness of the Hairy Chested Men's Adventure Novel (Axel Kilgore).

Don't tell anybody, but The Mercenary is partly why I have a Browning Hi-Power.

I also read The Destroyer, up to about #30 or so.

I'd have expected it to have been the Abita Blake novels...

mrnoodle · 04-18-2005, 10:18 AM

oo oo oo. is it time to go into the respective qualities of .45 vs. 9mm or 10mm? It's my favorite argument.

wolf · 04-18-2005, 10:56 AM

I have not read any of those.

They're chick books, aren't they ...
