He wouldve been fine with a 5 shot. They started running as soon as he shot once.Check out the vid on this thread. Would you want to face this situation with just a 5 shot J frame?
Do as you please, but im sticking with a higher capacity pistol

In that case we should all start carrying a single shot CAP gun. According to that logic at the mere sound of the first shot, the badguys will take flight. Sorry Brother, those of us that have been there know better
I dont know if this was toward me or not, but to answer your question, it doesnt. Im certainly not advocating one way or the other...again simply stating the facts from the video shown. The guy who tried to use that video as justification to have more rounds was stretching it, the defendent wouldve been fine with the 5 round revolver. Would he probably have preferred more rounds or heck even AK? Im sure he would have.I really don't understand some of you. Sighting statistics and proclaiming the super long odds. All that applies to everyone who was ever in a really bad situation but -CENSORED--CENSORED--CENSORED--CENSORED- happens. Again I reiterate what harm does it do to carry a couple extra magazines?
Not really aimed at anyone specific Moomooboo. Just the general thinking by some of the responders that somehow it's irrational to carry more than you'll "probably" ever need.
Deaf. Can you name a few examples?
“A FORMER UDR soldier who turned an IRA ambush into one of the regiment’s finest hours has shared his remarkable story for the first time. I swung round quick and pushed the door into the other guy. He had the rifle round his neck on the string and was going to use his hands to get me out of the van but he ran off.”
Eric took cover behind the front wheel of the van and opened fire on two further gunmen armed with Kalashnikov-type rifles behind a low wall no more than 20 metres away.
When one moved position and appeared at the side of the house, Eric took careful aim and pulled the trigger only to find he was out of ammunition.
“The magazine was empty but I had another one in my coat which was in the van.”
Isn't that the basic premise of this thread though? How to respond to the threat of daily terrorist attacks?i was asking for examples from america. Not Ireland with daily attacks from a terrorist organization
Well it was both international and domestic. But the area and social unrest which went on in northern ireland is far different than what goes on in america. We dont have that active IRA activity here in America.Isn't that the basic premise of this thread though? How to respond to the threat of daily terrorist attacks?

I have more fear of being attacked by a stray dog while walking than I do getting robbed, let alone attacks by a gang or terrorist. I'm comfortable carrying 5 rounds.
Uhm. I dont know where you live but i was asking for examples from america. Not Ireland with daily attacks from a terrorist organization
When the terrorists realised what was happening they closed in for the kill as Eric explained: “They ran down firing on automatic and that’s when I got the whacked on the legs.” Eric’s left leg had shattered below the knee and he was losing a lot of blood.
