Who Says There's No Good News?

Detroit homeowners fatally shoot 6 would-be intruders in 1 month: So far this year, Detroit has recorded at least 10 justifiable homicides, compared to 15 in all of 2013. “Detroiters are fed up and they are taking action,” Police Chief James Craig told the Detroit News.

Your Say

Hopefully all head shots.

Normally I'd say get a new bushing, but the "shop worn" look adds to the cachet.

Myself, in a sudden situation like that, with surprise, adrenalin, and a short available response time, I'd go for the center of mass. Largest target. Hopefully they were shooting hollow points.

No doubt democrats will be up nights to figure out how to combat this trend. Free people standing up for themselves without government. Intolerable!!

Somebody has to take out the trash. Keep up the good work.

"Welcome to Hell" Oh yeah. That picture from a pistol featured on this web site: http://unblinkingeye.com/Guns/HMG/hmg.html

(I hope Gerard's spambots let this one through.)

The story on that gun:
"There is a very interesting chapter in the book More Homicidal Humor, by Sgt. Brian Foster of the Houston Police Homicide Unit, about a man he calls Tommy T who once owned this gun. Tommy was an organized crime figure in Houston and Corpus Christi who is said to have murdered quite a few people with it."

Head shots, center mass, whatever makes the perp dead.

I was taught to shoot until threat is no longer one--dead, fled, or compliant. Center of mass is the general school solution, but the triple-tap--two CoM, one to the head--is a good alternative that ensures there will only be one story: yours.

Probably the best thing that has happened to Detroit in the last 70 years.

Center of mass is nice, but remember, perps do wear vests too. But they can't wear one on their forehead.

A CoM hit with a large caliber round on a vest will cause some injury and interrupt the action. Kevlar vests will not stop rifle rounds unless there are ceramic plate inserts.

A lot of schools of self defense now teach that groin shots are effective. Anywhere in the pelvic area will break bones or cut nerves or open large blood vessels.

With either of these, a shot in the head is recommended to finalize the deal. BTDT.
