Journal Journal: Aiming, Trigger Control, and Ferguson 4

When you're at the range, and you line up your shot to center mass, and you pull the trigger, where you miss is indicative of what you're doing wrong -- if it's consistent. (Some short barrel concealed carry guns are not accurate at longer ranges; they aren't intended to be, either. However, the average full size hand gun is intended to be pretty accurate.)

Even if you're a terrific shot -- the bad guy will bleed out faster from a couple of holes from a .45 ACP than he will from a couple of .22's.

Accuracy matters -- so carry the highest caliber you can be accurate with. For me, that caliber is .45 ACP. Hornady Critical Defense / Remington Golden Saber +P.

Journal Journal: Terminal Ballistics and Ferguson 10

One argument made on television last night by a Ferguson City Councilwoman was that the Officer used "excessive force" by shooting a 6'4", 240 pound man 6 times.

6 times! She said.

...... the ignorance is breathtaking.

Wrong. With a few notable exceptions, there is very, very little I am willing to use government force to do. Technically I am a conservative, but I have a libertarian streak 10 miles wide. (And no, I am not a supported of Ron Paul.).

The left / right scale for politics should be relabeled as "Statist" (Left) vs. "Individualist" (Right). I am an Ayn Rand style individualist.

To be fair, the Crusades were started as a response to a muslim invasion of Europe. The Holy Grail stuff was just what the nobles told the serfs to get them to go fight.

Furthermore -- Vlad the Impaler was actually a hero, as he successfully defended his corner on Europe from the muslim hordes. The whole impaling stuff was the beginning of psychological warfare -- and it was VERY effective.
