What I would like to know is why these commercials are not on network/cable tv. I actually do not watch TV aside from Netflix but if I do all I see are advertisements for some drug that will make my life so much better. I have to ask my Doctor first tho and I still cannot remember all of the side effects they quickly go over near the end of the "feel good" ad portraying people acting in a way in which I have never witnessed before... Where do those people live? Anyways, I was just thinking that I do not do drugs but I am bombarded with ads for them every time I watch tv which is very rarely... Dear Glock, Please contact major networks and buy some spots for your commercial. Best Regards, escapedthematrix

Fortunately, for the time being, what people should or shouldn't do in their personal, private lives, isn't for you or leftists like you to decide.
Same deal, actually. If the fire is threatening her life, she should take whatever action(s) will most likely save her life first. If she's bleeding to death, she should get the first aid kit and stop/slow the bleeding before calling government to come save her.
That's the problem with leftists. Self-help is a bad thing. Only government can provide safety and security. Your memes are so transparent.
Like I said though, that was after she had already twice stuck her face right in front of a door that could've been used to knock her out of the fight had it actually been a real experienced burglar, instead of the fainting bandit.
Regardless, the stress I specifically spoke of was the physiological stresses triggered during a shooting incident. Tunnel vision, adrenaline-dump, all kinds of things happen to the human body at the split second in which an uncomfortable or scary situation progresses to a life-and-death struggle. If she had called 911 before the guy made entry, the operator would have started questioning her and telling her what to do. One of the things she would've been told is to stay on the line until cops got there. That is a voice of authority that might calm the caller down, or the voice may confuse and distract them. Managing the physiological reactions requires focus. The very last thing I will ever do is leave it to chance whether the voice on the other end of the line can calm me and focus me towards making the right decisions to survive, rather than relying on my training and getting through it the best I can without the added distraction of a voice on the phone going, "Sir? Sir, are you still there?" Blah blah. Besides, the whole video is only about 2:00 long. What's the average response time? Around here, it's a heck of a lot more than two minutes.
Wow. So the advertising industry uses T & A in their visuals? Who knew???
But this doesn't even make sense anyway. You're saying the "droolers" are drooling over a Glock, not the young lady. I saw neither T or A. The only skin I saw was face, arms and legs. What? It can't be a valid ad unless Glock hires a Helen Thomas look-alike for their model?
Coincidentally, you were the first one in the thread to make mention of "cheesecake." Everyone else up to that point took your OP seriously and simply evaluated the ad on the criteria you opened with. If you wanted people to take note of the looks or sexual allure of the female in the ad, you should've said so. Instead, you had to start that meme yourself, and this is at least the third time you've mentioned it in the thread. Projection much?

People die every day in firearms' accidents caused by people who should not own firearms.
Someone who can't dial 911 and retrieve a firearm at the same time should take personal responsibility for lack of their adequate coordination to own a firearm and simply not own one. No one should have to tell them they can't own own one. The fact that they can't dial a phone while retrieving a firearm should be self evidence enough for them to make the wise decision.

I didn't read the entire thread, but many home invasions are "push in" type robberies! Where the perpetrator will shadow the victim to the door and when the victim attempts to open the door the "perp" will "push" her into the apartment and then assault her. It would be nice to have a commercial scenario defending against this type of invasion. This is very common in the urban city areas, where alot of yuppies were caught off guard believing they arrived safe to their apartments.

Care to document that? First you'd have to document that there are indeed daily accidental deaths by firearms (can we assume you're only talking about deaths in America?), and then you'd have to break each one down to show why the owner "shouldn't" have owned one in the first place, before the accident happened. After the accident, it is up to multiple governmental agencies to decide if they *should* be allowed to continue to own a gun or not. Sorry, but fortunately for all of us, that still isn't you who gets to decide.
Tell the truth. Your favorite movie is "Minority Report" isn't it? You want to base gun laws on the precognition of some leftist you trust to make this world safe for all the rest of us mindless yokels, right? Otherwise, how can you justify saying who should or shouldn't have a gun before any accidents happen?
And I repeat, fortunately, for the time being, what people should or shouldn't do in their personal, private lives, isn't for you or leftists like you to decide.

Just a commercial...
If someone comes into your home, your best bet is to wait for them from a defend-able position. Don't go hunt them unless you have training on how to clear a residence...Most likely they are going to come into your bedroom as that is where they expect the best goodies to be...Now with that said if you have children, then by all means do what you must to protect them....

Unlike the Glock fantasy advertisement, this is how it happens in real life.
Mom hides children, shoots intruder 5 times

i have better locks on interior doors in my house.no deadbolt on a door to the public street? i know they can get kicked in also but looks like you could use a credit card and pop the door right open.while we are picking apart a commercial.i really hate when landlords paint over switchplates.i am pretty sure they dont come in the same color as that wall.now thats real nitpickin....
Of course, the flip side of this would be the cops standing over the victim's body and saying "I guess she thought it was the drunk next door mistaking which house was his, when it was really a raping murderer..."
She didn't dial 911, either.
She shot the BG. He left.
The cops got their in time to take the report.
They reported that the BG got shot, the GGs didn't get hurt.
And your point is???

She definitely needs to verify she is loaded when she picks up her pistol. At the point she feels threatened enough to bring the gun up in ready position, I think she needs to verify she is in fire mode and be ready to shoot. I agree, when she came to the door armed, and was frightened enough to back away, she should have backed up more for more separation from the BG if he made it through the door. When the breakin happened, there could have been pieces of door or door frame flying so separation would be important. Also, she should have her phone ready. If she had called 911 and, in a loud voice stated, "Police, I have someone trying to break in my front door." may have been enough to scare him off.
There have been instances where the BG would move to a rear entrance to make the actual breakin so a person needs to be ready for that. This happened to an elderly next door neighbor 20+ years ago. The BG tried to break in the front door, she called the cops then me, telling me at that time they were at her back door. I rushed outside and met the K9 officer coming up and alerted him she said they were at the back door. It worked out that he was scared away but points out to be ready for breakin from other entrance too.

Reminding everyone that this nit-picking-apart of the scenario never really happened (LOL!), if it had actually happened, she would've likely checked her weapon for being loaded when she put it in the safe with the biometric locking device (that ostensibly, only she could open) so that she wouldn't have to check it when she took it out in an emergency situation.
The weapons that stay in my safe don't get checked for being loaded every time I open the safe. They are not going to unload themselves any more than they are going to spontaneously discharge themselves. I have to unload them, just like I have to pull the trigger to discharge them.
To be fair, we don't have kids, so I guess I can understand having to load and unload weapons if there's kids in the house, but if we did have kids, I'd be more likely to find a way to have a better safe or some other way to keep them away from the guns than I would to have them unloaded as long as the kids were in the house.
In any case, I don't see a single female home alone as deserving of criticism for keeping a condition-1 firearm in the house, and being confident enough in how she put the gun away to know that it's still loaded when she pulls it out.
But if it is deserving of criticism, then SHWEW! Sure glad that never really happened!!! LOL

I am dismayed, nay... disgusted!... at how many times I have read someone set themselves as judge of others and declare that:
"If you/they can't or aren't -->insert something here<-- then they shouldn't have a gun in the first place."
Why do people think other folks should be denied the right to bear arms and the ability to protect themselves just because they don't measure up to their personal criteria? Oh... yes... it's that "projection" thing where only those who are as great and grand as themselves qualifies....
Funny thing is.... from time to time there are stories in the news where some frail elderly woman manages to shoot an intruder/attacker and save her life/prevent herself from being raped... without dialing 911 first... and... has never taken a minute of "training" in her life!
But even though the goal.. the ONLY goal.. for someone being attacked, and a home invasion IS an attack, is to protect themselves/other innocents so all can survive the attack............... there are some who would have us believe that the old lady shouldn't have a gun because she was never "trained", or didn't call 911 before getting her gun, or didn't do all the "tacticool maneuvers" seen on TV.... and didn't check to see if her gun was still loaded like it was when she put it away before using it to save her life.
Ok... where is the "puke" emoticon thingy?

BTW, it should be obvious, but I agree wholeheartedly with your post.

Hey dg...I would never attempt to tell someone how to run their firearm with regards to this, and it is something that I feel strongly about. To me, this sets up a question in the equation. I never check to see if my firearm is loaded and ready to shoot. I know that it is in that condition at all times...unless I know that it is not loaded and I am cleaning it. I find confidence in the knowing and never needing to check...I do not want to wonder if the need arises...

A determine attacker will get in despite the best safety precaution. Hence 2A!
1. Defend yourself and your love ones first by eliminating the threat until dead or gone.
2. Make sure you and your love ones are in a safe place and location
3. Let the adrenaline rush dump out of your system
4. Call your lawyer to meet you at your location
5. Then Call 911 (BTW don't wait 24 hours...) And call even if you hear sirens!
a. Your name and your description of yourself
b. Your address and location within that address (e.g., master bedroom)
c. Describe what happen NOT WHAT YOU DID! (You're being recorded by the Police for your possible trial!) [i.e., she shot him, shot him again, keep shooting... Not Good.]
d. Repeat after me: "I need the Police and Ambulance, I maybe going into SHOCK!" (The key here is that you're going into SHOCK and need medical attention!)
e. I have my weapon on me (NOT GUN! The police are trained to react when they hear the word gun.)
f. Repeat a through e once
g. After repeating it once, hang up. Throughout this whole 911 call, Do NOT answer any of the 911 operators questions or repeat what you said or provide any more details then whats described above in a through e. Remember its all being recorded!
6. The police arrive, remember you are the VICTIM! "Officer, I was attacked by BG, and I'm willing to help in anyway to catch the BG and press charges!"
7. At any point the police start questioning you in a matter that makes you look like your the BG; Repeat: "Officer, I would like to speak with my Lawyer (whom you called in step 4) before answering any more questions." Don't accept anything, water, food, cigarettes, unless your lawyer is present and gives the green light.
It's not about who is right and wrong, but who is the lessor. You did not take control of the situation, you simply defended yourself! But knowing what little you need to say and keeping your mouth shut will likely lessen the chance of being marked as anything other then as being the Victim!
