fire extinguishers
They don't have firing pins or small parts that could break on a whim. Thats a scary thing to have a gun part break on you in a self defence shooting.
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Ted Ziolkowski's pistol jammed right after the 78-year-old farmer shot someone for the first time in his life late Thursday night.
He left a single hollow-point round in the chest of a 17-year-old Cleveland youth who was later arrested for aggravated burglary, for trying to break into the rental property Ziolkowski owns on Clement Ave., on Cleveland's southeast side.
TOM SERVO:
If one has decent training, good situational awareness, the common sense to avoid trouble, and a reliable weapon he's proficient with, he's ahead of 99% of the population. The rest is down to splitting hairs over loadout.
A competent shooter who carries a 15-round automatic with a reload isn't necessarily paranoid, nor does his loadout suggest he'll feel compelled to exhaust all 30 rounds in a confrontation. Nor is someone who carries a smaller gun or array of ammunition tempting fate. It just comes down to comfort level.
As WND reported yesterday, the couple was pummeled at a stoplight the night of April 14 by dozens of black teens, and the newspaper had no mention of the incident for two weeks, despite the fact the victims, Dave Forster and Marjon Rostami, are both news reporters for the paper.
