Thanks to reader Dave H, for sending me this. It is always a great teaching tool to get the first hand evidence of any case as we can learn what to do and how to prepare for that moment we hope it never comes.

Emotional events like this can lend to mistakes that may come to haunt the participants. I found myself saying “leave my weapon? No way! Why would I disarm? I just got shot at! Not till I see a cop. ” I know, dumb as hell because the cops may see me first, see an armed suspect in the scene of a shooting and I end up with a selection of hollow points inside me.

From an Ammoland article

Arizona -(Ammoland.com)- On 21 October 2018, Tyler Herrick entered his neighbor’s house, uninvited. Kyle Adams woke to find Herrick in his bedroom. He is said to have told Herrick to leave, and that Herrick did so. Herrick and Adams were both 33-years old.
Adams called his roommate, Brennan Pebbles, who is 31 years old. Pebbles left work and came to the house.
While roommates Adams and Pebbles were talking in the front room, Herrick came back with an AR-15 type rifle, shot through the front window and killed Kyle Adams. Pebbles ran upstairs to access his 9mm self-defense pistol.
Herrick shot out the window near the front door, entered, and hunted Pebbles.
Pebbles, using his 9mm pistol, shot and mortally wounded Herrick as Herrick entered the master bedroom.

The bear hit Uptain as Chubon went for the pistol. “He said he had [the Glock],” Hovinga told WyoFile. “He had a hard time trying to find a clear shot.”
Chubon tried to shoot the bear, Hovinga said. “He grabbed [the pistol], was unable to make it fire,” Hovinga said. “There was not a round in the chamber, so the gun was empty. He couldn’t make the gun work.”

Wyoming Bear Attack Glock had No Round in Chamber, Magazine & Pistol Separated

Paraphrasing somebody I saw in the webs: To carry with an empty chamber is the same as thinking you will have time to put on the sat belt before the accident.

If you do not have confidence on yourself to carry with a round in chamber, you need to practice the manual of arms, unholstering and holstering till you do it automatically. Remember, gun does not go bang unless the trigger gets played with.

“Putting on an Appendix Holster on Turkey Day was a tragically stupid move.”

Next year I am going with Tanker rig myself. And since I can’t Open Carry in Florida (yet) I’ll wear a poncho.

We know we are in an era of everything being seen through racism Glasses and Gun Control is no Different. Blogson Justin posted in FB to a link to a collection of tweets about the Chicago Hospital shooting.

And of course, when the information finally came out, oopsie?

And he used a pistol.

But we are the racists.
