May township population is estimated at 872. I wonder how many bars are in May township?
Credibility?
Cass county (pop approx 27,000):
May township population is estimated at 872. I wonder how many bars are in May township?
This place is a statistical aberration.
While there are rural areas around Fresno, Bakersfield, and Salinas (my hometown, BTW!) to suggest those cities are rural areas is sort of liking saying NYC is rural because they have Central Park. Don't see many 'bangers hanging around out in the fields picking produce.You wouldnt believe places like Fresno, Bakersfield or Salinas have gangs.
Then your argument would not be factually correct.I would argue that there are more threats from gangs in rural areas then there are in urban areas.
Didn't Starsky carry a S&W Mdl 59? And IIRC Hutch used a 6" Python.What about Starsky and Hutch, did they need high capacity handguns? I don't think so.
Sure, just like you can prove North Dakota is more corrupt politiacally than places like Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, and so on. That is why folks who know and understand statistics rarely try to do direct comparisons among high-population areas and low-population areas. Did you know that one year a small town in Oklahoma had the higherst murder rate that has ever been recorded, reaching nearly 30%? Of course the town was really just a hole in the wall with a branch bank placed there mostly for the military, and some BG came in and shot the place up. Killed 11 people IIRC.It's a high crime rural area. Good luck trying to disprove that. I can rest my case, while you can lick your wounds and go back to trying to disprove it.
Many confrontations that occur nowadays happen with more then 1 hostile. There are usually 2 to 3 hostile characters. Some will flee when they see your 1911 while others will stay to fight until you are taken out.
I was thinking of this scenario where you are against 3 hostiles which is not an unusual situation. Your first 3-5 shots will probably miss. No target is ever stationary and when you produce your weapon then the target will start moving in a tactical manner.

8 shots is enough if you are up against just one person, but not enough for more. There is something to be said about "spray and prey". Sometimes its the only method to keep heads down while you make your strategic retreat preventing the hostiles from firing back.
Although spraying isnt the safest for nearby civilians, I believe its a method that will keep you alive.
Im seeing more pistols with higher capacities coming out to address the need that exists. Sig P226s now have a version which carries 15 .40s or 20 9 mms.
20 bullets may seem a little ridiculous, but I can picture a scenario where you are defending your house against 3 armed burglars in a remote rural area and they do not retreat. In that situation, pure firepower in volume is what is needed to drive them back.
Shot placement is a great idea, but try it against 3 mobile targets that are tactically evading you. You wont get a hit...
