APD Chief: Officer killed gunman with one shot from 312 feet | CLEAT

” The gunman who attacked the federal courthouse, the Mexican consulate and the Austin Police Department headquarters was killed by a single shot taken from 312 feet away by mounted patrol Sgt. Adam Johnson who also held the reigns of two horses.”http://www.cleat.org/2014/12/apd-chief-officer-killed-gunman-with-one-shot-from-312-feet/

There is still a place for traditional marksmanship training. The average gunfight may occur at 2-3 yards but, there’s no guarantee that you get the benefit of that “average” engagement. You will have to “run what you brung” with no opportunity to run back to the rifle some say you should never have left behind. Kudos to Officer Johnson for not being “average!”

We shouldn’t talk about Ferguson without talking about guns – Vox

“A well-armed citizenry required an even-better-armed constabulary. Widespread gun ownership creates a systematic climate of fear on the part of the police. The result is a quantity of police shootings that, regardless of the facts of any particular case, is just staggeringly high. Young black men, in particular, are paying the price for America’s gun culture.” Via http://www.vox.com/2014/11/26/7292963/gun-control-police-shootings

I knew it. There is always some anti-gun idiot willing to make hay out of any tragedy. And whether this idiot admits it or not, disarming regular citizens won’t be enough in the minds of like minded individuals.

GOTR20141123 Podcast

Got a late start on today’s podcast but, it’s finally up. Managed to get the gang all together today and spent the day covering listener questions among other things, including the new Taurus Curve. Let us save you some money. Neat idea. Taurus execution. Yes, we rag on Taurus a lot but, Gary has offered to buy the Curve on his own dime and test it thoroughly when they become available.
