Please, Lord, next time some wacko decides to go on a shooting spree, make it somewhere I happen to be. Or, at least make it somewhere where there is a gun-carrying individual like myself. It will be a very short shooting spree. People will say, “Wow! That was the gayest shooting spree ever; the only one killed was the guy that meant to do the shooting.” Plus, all the media attention will be on the gun carrying hero and not the psycho loser.
Then, next time some nutcase thinks about going on a rampage, he’ll remember that incident, and realize that once he runs into a building and brandishes a gun, that maybe not all the faces will be looking back at him in terror. Instead, there may be some motherf**ker like me standing there smiling, someone who has been hoping and praying for this opportunity all his life.
“…all the media attention will be on the gun carrying hero…”
True, but they’ll do their best not to mention that the hero was carrying–and used–a gun.
Actually, they would probably just arrest the hero for discharging a weapon in a public place.
I think there was an incident where a shooting occured at a University. A fellow student happened to have a weapon and took the guy out. Unfortunately, the media didn’t report it. I’m with you, though. Media attention or not, deterence or not, I would love to kill one of these slimey scumbags.
The sad fact is that most shooting sprees happen in areas that even people that have permits are not allowed to carry their weapons(i.e. schools). Criminals like this are all craven cowards who the left wing tend to coddle, all the way from their stupid gun laws, thru their bend-over-backwards-for-the-criminal trial, to the appeals process and lack of death penalty.
I wish there would be media attention; I think it would stop more people from trying shooting spree to hear of unsuccessful ones.
Wasn’t the Texas tower shooter pinned down by several private citizens until he was taken?
I wonder if the shooter’s gun was registered? Good thing we have those laws!
Idiots.
The first time I visted my dad and his wife in Arizona (they retired there several years ago), I was shocked to see my dad with a gun strapped to his side. He said he bought it because the roads where they live are remote and dangerous and they need protection when they go on long trips in their RV. Dad is 70 but he has had plenty of experience with guns, so I wasn’t worried about whether or not he’d be able to handle one. But, it just seemed so strange to see him carry a gun around like in the Old West.
During my visit, I saw on the news that several tourists were killed in Egypt by a lone gunman. The next day, the folks took me on a picnic in a wilderness area and several people were carrying sidearms. I thought, “What would happen if some nut came in this campground and started shooting?” He would get off a couple of shots, but he would taken out in no time flat. I suddenly felt very safe. I wish I could carry a gun here in California (yeah, like that’ll ever happen).
Technically, I think you would have to wait until the madman actually shot someone. Otherwise you would have committed murder. Because – technically – he would not have been a madman on a killing spree – and you would not have been acting in self-defense – until the madman had already shot someone.
So the sad reality is that you cannot proactively defend your fellow citizens. Pretty sad, eh?
You just have to feel in danger of harm of you or another, so, if he starts firing (hitting someone or not) or just brandishes a gun in a threatening manner it’s BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM drop .45; pull out .380 BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM and then I’d kick him a few times for good measure.
I’m going by Florida law, here. It may be different in other states.

Here in Minnesota ( Go Wild!) we just passed concealed carry legislation. ( yeah for our side!)
Frank,as soon as I am properly trained for safety, etc., I will get my permit. But I need to know of any good orthopedic supports to help bad knees carry about 20 pounds of cold steel and lead…

You’ll get used to it. Nothing better than knowing I have both me full size Colt 1991 and a Walther PPK on me in case while I’m at the supermarket anarchy breaks out or a krazy kracker killer comes along.
Actaully, I think later I’ll do a feature on the holster I use. It will be the first IMAO (unpaid) product endorsement.
Royden,
You are right. The incident happended last year at a law school n W VA. If you did a lexis/nexis search on article about it you would have come up with ca. 270 news items. Only 4 of them made any mention of the spree in progress being stopped when another student retrieved a gun from his car and confronted the shooter. Most reports said the gunman was “tackled” by other students.
Guns don’t kill people, abortion doctors kill people.
…AND A COUPLE A MILITARY GRADE GRENADES….
Anyone know where I could get citizen grade grenades?
Hey cool…is that a toe?
Hallelujah Frank. You echoed my feelings exactly with this post.
(Oh, and I use that in a strictly non-denominational way for the people who got angry about Franks’ earlier posts. Sheesh, lighten up.)
BTW…I’m gonna remember “only clockwise” for the rest of my life. That was just great man. 😀
I think the DEADLY ASSASSIN needs to get laid 🙂
Usually, most states allow the use of deadly force if there is an immediate, believable and deliberate threat to you or an innocent bystander. The threat must likely result in either death or great bodily harm to either you or the bystander(s).
These are also the rules the military plays by (at least that’s what they taught us in the Marines… )
The media won’t report it. There have been dozens, if not hundreds, of situations like that – although they are much more common in areas where Gun Control is rampant, for some strange reason.
Go Frank! 1911’s are wonderful. I’m a huge Kimber fan (with my Foebus holster and two spare mags!).

DEADLY ASSASSIN……..your gay
To me, 1911 means handgun. Nothing feels so perfect and balanced as that beauty. I’ll take seven good shots over some plastic piece of crap with fifteen (I’m just kidding; there are plenty of good composite guns).
You know, Frank, a few years back some yahoo psycho stalker decided to stab his ex-girlfriend to death in the parking lot of the mall where she worked. He was in the process of slitting her throat when a guy–a good samaritan–saw what was happening and decided to intervene. He was just coming back from target practice and had a 44 magnum with a lasersight in his truck. Needless to say, he vaporized the psychokillers head from across the parking lot. Guess what? Was the dude hailed as a hero? NO! The local D.A. charged him with MURDER! Said he had an obligation to shout “freeze” or something before pulling the trigger. How’s that for BS! The guy was eventually acquitted, but he went through hell. You know the old saying: No good deed goes unpunished!
Same thing in Texas…you have to be reasonably in fear for your (or someone else’s) life before shooting. As I understand, that significantly lowers the threshold for women vs men.
Note to self: Find out where DARK ASSASSIN is, go down to his parent’s basement and beat the living shit out of this 15 year old punk.
Frank, I’m printing this out and memorizing it…and saying it at night before bed.

In Florida, I believe its fear of harm, not necessarily death (a woman can shoot someone trying to rape her).
Sounds like “DEADLY ASSASSIN” is mentally disturbed or possibly just wearing shorts which are too tight in the crotch.
LOL Fritz!!!!!
I would like to see that holster, Frank. I am still looking for a good CC holster myself. I hope they make one to fit my .40 S&W.
Frank,
Carry a spare mag or two. Every man should. The McCormick 8-round PowerMags are especially good, with the cool little plastic floorplate.
Then you won’t need to resort to the .380, unless you’re done whacking Deadly Assassin, and a rabid possum happens to come near.
Kim,
I like the extra gun idea (makes a reload quick and makes a left handed draw easy).
Fritz,
LOL
Bauer,
I’ll show the holster a little later. I’m not a big guy, but I can conceal a full-size 1911 with it.
Guns! Guns! Guns!
Now there’s a question for the boys. If guys prefer sports to sex, do they also prefer guns to girls? Anyway, reader tim07734 sent me this link yesterday. I see a problem with this scenario, though.
As far as holsters for the One True Gun (full size 1911)
– Milt Sparks Versa Max II. In horsehide, with a real belt, and 2 Power8 Mags. It conceals under a T-shirt. Believe me, I have a drawer filled with old holsters which I no longer use now that I’ve found the One True Holster.
Also, I find (as do many others) a full size 1911 conceals BETTER than a Glock, or any other double stack gun. Go figure. I don’t mind the glock, but it’s too blockly to conceal well, for me.
YMMV
But remember rule 1: Have a gun if in a gun fight.
Hey guys! Remember me? The Subway Gunman? I blasted three innercity thugs on the NY subway in 1984! Now I’m a vegetarian and I want to be mayor of NYC! I also take care of injured squirrels! (This is not a joke.) Check out my website!
