Opie 0 #1 January 24, 2003 Question: You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes around the corner and is running at you while screaming obscenities. In your hand is a Glock .40 and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do? Liberal Answer: Well, that's not enough information to answer the question! Does the man look poor or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that is inspiring him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids? Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation? Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want to kill me or would he just be content to wound me? If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for a few days to try to come to a conclusion. Conservative Answer: BANG! Texan's Answer: BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! click... (sounds of clip being ejected and fresh clip installed) Wife: "Sweetheart, he looks like he's still moving, what do you kids think?" Son: "Mom's right Dad, I saw it too..." BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! Daughter: "Nice grouping Daddy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,589 #2 January 24, 2003 Not married, female, and my son is 19. Anyway, why am I out walking with my family in a dangerous neighborhood with a pistol in my hand? I can think of lots of more fun things to do. Wendy W. There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah...even if he doesn't have a pre-ban mag he should have 10 in the mag and one chambered. Unless he was shootin' at cyotes before the stroll through the bad neighborhood.

Muenkel 0 #10 January 24, 2003 Why should a deserted street be dangerous? I would prefer all streets, deserted or not, be safe for families to walk down. If you are going to run around with a huge knife toward people while yelling obsenities, I would say you are engaging in a high risk activity. _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerry81 10 #11 January 24, 2003 One warning call and if he doesn't stop- one shot in the hand holding the knife. I'm an expert, remember (and also liberal) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #14 January 24, 2003 Quote Why should he carry a chambered round in a gun without a safety lever There's good points and bad points: Good points: -If one arm/hand is not available for some reason, you can still fire. -If you have a good, secure holster, then there it *should* be secured and fairly safe -One less step to be taken -No chance of a malfunction during the chambering of your first round. Bad Points: -Premature ejacu...firing. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhillyKev 0 #17 January 24, 2003 Just because there isn't a lever doesn't mean there's not a safety. "The "Safe Action" system consists of three (3) automatic independently operating mechanical safeties which are sequentially disengaged when pulling the trigger and which are automatically re-engaged when releasing the trigger. Without actuating the trigger it is not possible that a shot is fired." What's the point of carrying a gun that doesn't have a manual safety release when you have to chamber a round to use it first anyway? http://www.glock.com/_safe_action_.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jfields 0 #20 January 24, 2003 The question is both meaningless and absurd. Let me pose one of equal quality back... Are you: 1) Liberal 2) A gun-toting homicidal psychopath 3) An illiterate Texan byproduct of a corrupt state beholden to oil monopolies If you expect non-sarcastic answers, ask a real question.

PhillyKev 0 #21 January 24, 2003 I'm in Philly...not Texas, and actually, I don't carry. But if I did, the only time I would pull it out would be if someone had a gun or a knife directed at me. That being the case, I wouldn't want to waste time chambering. I believe those in law enforcement who carry Glocks keep them chambered, but I'm not sure. Any cops out there carry one?

Allow the thief to get away; find out he later killed a cop. Blame the liberals for the death of the butcher and the cop. Liberal answer - Pass a law that prevents butchers from using knives. Independent answer - avoid walking down deserted streets in bad parts of town with your wife and two small children. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
