Show me the rare bad guy that's going to hang around after the first "BANG!" or two to wait and see if you run out of rounds after 5 or 6 shots, or scrutinize the weapon you have to see if he can hold out long enough for you to reload. That only happens on TV. "BANG!" = attention. Attention = witnesses and subsequent police presence. Witnesses = good police reports. Good police reports = eventual arrest of any and all bad guys partaking in said "BANG!". It is in every criminal's best interest to run when a "BANG!" occurs.

do you really want to chance that???

Heller didn't go nearly far enough to assume you can legally carry a double edged knife in Texas. Seriously, its not even close.

Just because god gave you the right does not mean you wont have an A misdemeanor on your record if you get caught carrying that thing.

that doesnt make texas law right just cuz its there it is the law i dont own a double edged knife or any other illegal knife but we should be able to and if not for the law I would own some "illegal" knifes

Sure revolvers still go bang, and are effective. But if they were the end all of handguns why do our armed forces no longer use them. Also last I saw no country used them and most PD's wont let their officers use them. That does'nt make them bad but having more bullets is not a bad thing.
I carry a Kel-tec 32 and a Para 14-45. I carry at least 1 mag extra for each and every once in a wile I through on my RIA in addition to those 2 with 2 spare mags for it. Call me paranoid but thats what I do
As for what would I have done as a onlooker. I would be doing less looking and more shooting. I was raised with the ideal that evil triumphs when good men do nothing. As for would I have shot one and let them run?
No I would not have given them the chance how do I know if they will run away or run at me and witch one do I pick
as for me and mine I would have shot the closest one first and worked my way to the back as fast as my para will pump out 230 gr hydrashocks (keeping in mind not to hit innocent bystanders. even though if some guy is getting a beat down most people likely ran away)
Not only acting in defense of the 2 poor victims but also in the interest of crime prevention. Who knows what else these hoodlums have done and will do in the future if left to their own devices? They should be off the streets for good and good riddens
I have owned 3 revolver and didnt really like them. Wile they are a carry choice for some they don't fit my fancy
and if all goes well they will all be on the ground before I need my second 14 round mag full or 45ACP

God willing I will never need to do any of that. But I cant be sure that will be the case thats why I carry



this has been a big ramble im sorry
