But he is part of a real, very small minority of immature, movie-watching wanna-be's. Not gang-bangers, but just as stupid and dangerous; I'm sure you've probably seen one or two out at the range, thankfully calling attention to themselves so I can move a few lanes down. Unfortunately, you can't fix stir-crazy or stupid.dan l.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-7071941802390046212012-07-26T11:04:37.608-04:002012-07-26T11:04:37.608-04:00Glanced through the blog entries.

I noticed both of them (gal and her boyfriend, both say they are Navy veterans) got kinda snippy about the EMT's trying to triage her; given that they had a buncha more people hit with 5.56 rounds this seems only prudent. I'm glad she and her boyfriend got out.Boat Guynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-51950830568284499862012-07-26T00:30:06.957-04:002012-07-26T00:30:06.957-04:00If you are interested here is her personal blog......If you are interested here is her personal blog... http://www.carlirotten.net/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-67372984816272727072012-07-25T23:08:04.559-04:002012-07-25T23:08:04.559-04:00I have to agree with #4 or maybe 6.

I have also seen people shot with birdshot at intermediate range and the pellets will penetrate, but aren't near that size.45erhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05397455410329074837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-69470265811456665942012-07-25T22:22:10.410-04:002012-07-25T22:22:10.410-04:00Every indication so far is that the shooter was a ...Every indication so far is that the shooter was a gun-amateur and didn't know what he was doing. His selection of gear (crappy hi-cap mags), his inability to clear a jammed rifle, the selection of his shot size...he wasn't one of us, that's for sure.<br />And I'm damned glad for it. A gun person who knows what they're doing could have caused a great deal more carnage. But we're not that kind of people. Most gun people that I know are the kind of people that stop that kind of people.<br /><br />But the shot size tends to suggest something like small buckshot, maybe #4. Can't really tell from the wounds, but #00 would have likely caused more internal damage, and birdshot...I've seen people shot with birdshot and that's not birdshot.Murphy's Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17164780742334950772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-35018113185816784142012-07-25T21:40:25.242-04:002012-07-25T21:40:25.242-04:00I was thinking #4 buck would have been more devast...I was thinking #4 buck would have been more devastating.
