Not sure why this is a story when it's from 2017. However, once again boys and girls -- this is the downside to crime as a career choice. Every day on the job might be your last.

Not a fan of any new weapons.

Can that round go through a person and then a wall and then strike something else?

Yeah - I get the need to defend one's home and be safe, but to openly reveal in snuffing out someone's life in the process...that goes beyond the pale.

Leftist garbage. Come to my gun club and many like it. People from all walks of life, jobs, men, and women shooting guns responsibly, and getting training to be SAFE and proficient. NOBODY wants to have to shoot another human being. It will change your life forever, and not for the better, but at least you will still be alive.


So take your warped view of the "GUN CROWD" as you like to lump everyone into your little stereotype and maybe educate yourself to the vast majority of legal gun owners.

The more "primitive " the better? Well I have to say on that point I dont really concur. "Simple" would be a better term. "Primitive " brings a picture to mind for me of you armed with an 1860 Colt Army or since more primitive is better perhaps a flint or match lock. Those pesky percussion caps ya know. Cant count on them.

Modern new design and manufactured firearms really dont digress much in function from older ones. Differences are usually in the firing mechanics. How the pin is pushed into the primer.

Exposed hammers ala your CZ are considered passe with the tacticool crowd in favor of striker fired ala the Glock. External safety catches are also disdained. Something I've never been able to get used to.

I'm quite fond of the redundant safety mechanisms of my 1911. Guess I'm just old fashioned that way. Not quite as old school as you favoring "primitive" firearms. LOL...My own 1860 Army wont be getting the nod for self defense anytime soon. Unless a VERY odd set of circumstances is involved at any rate.

Keep yer powder dry.

Most projectiles will especially heavy handgun types.

Well look, it took pages but there is that sexual reference. Do you see a reproductive organ when watching a movie that depicts a firearm?

That is why bullet selection is important. There are several bullet designs for both pistol and rifle that are made to not penetrate walls.

Loud and will over-penetrate an close range. MP5 or Ruger Carbine...something that fires 9mm fast and furious would be better for that.
