dahmers love zombie: Do not point a gun at anything you are not prepared to destroy.

Do not point a gun at anything or anyone that is not causing an immediate threat to you or those under your legal protection.

Do not put a gun in your hand for defensive purposes unless such a threat is occurring, or you have a reasonable belief that such a threat is about to occur.

The preceding situations do not in fact involve chasing someone down the street under ANY circumstances. If you're chasing them, by definition the threat is NOT coming towards you, you farking idiot.

/FL resident
//have a CCW permit and "some" guns
///have never pointed a gun at another human
////hope I never do


And add to this:

- Don't carry a gun, follow some kid after the police tell you not to, kill an innocent child, and then try to claim self-defense to cover it all up.

Corvus: Corvus: WTF Indeed: Wait? Are you telling me that personal responsibility becomes vastly more important in states with conceal/carry laws? Cause the NRA says it's like the old West that if everyone had guns there would be peace, and I know this is a fact because there was never any gun violence in any western I ever saw.

/For conceal/Carry laws

Here is my personal thanks to you for being one of the few pro-gun anti-gun nut.

Do corn-nuts factor into all that? I really could go for some of those right now.

What is the holey thing on the end of the cylinder of this Glock?


I'm assuming you're joking about it being a Glock (it's not), but it appears to be a muzzle brake (helps control recoil and muzzle flip). I can't say I've ever seen one on a revolver that size, but there's no reason you couldn't do it.

To infer from this article, he isn't a gun-toter, therefor didn't assume that the other guy was packing.

Getting "pummeled" does not justify lethal force. Especially if you've been following the guy for so long that it's come to this. Even if you decided to get your gun out, which I would really not suggest, there are warning shots. There are non-lethal wounds. There's telling him to stop, or you'll shoot.

You do not simply go from "I'm getting my ass kicked over a confrontation I created" to "Bang, you're dead."

Witnesses say that Treyvon was bludgeoning Zimmerman repeatedly with a baseball bat. The whole time, Zimmerman was begging for mercy and warning Treyvon that he didn't want to hurt him. After valiantly withstanding this brutal assault, he only defended himself when Treyvon broke out the sledgehammer.

However...

Witnesses also say that Zimmerman sniped Treyvon as the young man was helping a little old lady (a nun, actually) across the street. Treyvon was also carrying a kitten (which he had just rescued from a tree) back to the crying little girl who had lost it. Zimmerman then reportedly tea-bagged Treyvon's lifeless corpse.

All I can say is that there are some guns that are designed for practical purposes (hunting, marksmanship, etc) and then you have guns that are basically designed with the intention of shooting people.

So my guess is that those feelings come from those people who are carrying the latter instead of the former.

gameshowhost: In before The Guy That Is Infromed Via Newsmax And American Thinker... oh, rats.

You know what? I signed the petition to arrest Zimmerman. If you look back and search for my name through threads from the last few days, you will see that I've come out for his prosecution. Go ahead. I dare you.

Then, today, I've started seeing things about black people coming out in defense of Mr. Zimmerman. So, I stopped and took a breath and listened. And damned if there isn't a hell of a rush to try the guy in the media, despite what may or may not have happened that night. So at this moment, I believe the police. Think about how much they love to incarcerate people who take the law into their own hands and stray into the territory and tactics that LEO have come to think of as "their own". If there was any excuse for running Zimmerman in, they would have.

1) How was it wrong for the 911 operator to tell the douche not to escalate?
2) What crime did the kid commit? Difficulty: walking while black is not a crime.
3) He obviously instigated the fight. He started it by escalating the situation, stalking the kid and then confronting him.

1) That's not a Glock. It appears to be a toy gun.
2) If it were a silencer, you wouldn't be able to see through it.
3) A silencer would be useless on the real version of that gun, as the propellant gasses and noise escape from the clearance between the cylinder and the barrel, before the bullet ever exits the gun.

A silencer.

Can't silence revolvers. Well, there are a very few exceptions, but I don't think that is a Nagant M1895 or a soviet cold war specialty piece.
