Burger King Shooting (Good Guy gets his Butt Shot Off)

[Treo]

It does seem that quite a few bad guys carry a .380 --- but if they put a couple .380 rounds in your chest you can be carried out. SHOT PLACEMENT -- Many bad guys believe in shooting with one hand, you use two and make sure your first shot counts.

So, (and I think this has been asked before) how many bad guys have you gone up against Cluz?

Nothing wrong with a 380. I call them "mini 45s" because they travel slow/hit hard. Several countries still use them as their service arms and so do many police depts. IMO, better to dump the impact than to shoot holes through.

Please enlighten us with which countries and LE departments those are.

Belgium adopted the 9mm Browning Hi Power in 1935, Brazil issues the Taurus PT92 9mm.

"However, it served as a police round in many countries (such as Germany, Italy
and Switzerland) up until the seventies, and is still used to a limited extent
by law enforcement services like the Italian Guardia di Finanza."

Some interesting factoids being shared here... So, a bunch of bad guys carry .380s and perhaps some PDs. Either way, not bad shooting for a BG under stress. One in the chest, shoulder and one in the arm? Bad guys aren't supposed to be able to shoot. They never hit anything. They just fall over at the sight of pistol when they hear it go off. Right? Anyway... the GG was lucky as heck that he didn't get one in the nose. He stuck it in where it didn't belong. If the BG puts two in center mass, the GG may never go home at all.
To quote John Wayne, "I was 18 the last time I stuck my nose in to someone else's business and it damn near got me killed." - Big Jake (As long as we are on a cowboy theme!)
If you are going to stick your nose out there. Plan in advance for the very real possibility of it getting hit.

The THR quote really says it all in this instance.

Oh - I believe those were the first cartridges at the end of the civil war. Around the late 1850s.

When you pull a gun you better be ready to be shot at, just as you better know what you're doing.

Got a lot of experience in this area Cluz?

As Tuco says, "If you're going to talk, talk. If you're going to shoot, don't talk."

One of the best quotes of all times.
