Why do you need to carry with spare magazines and lots of ammo in them.

The Ubalde Lame Ass Excuse
I have seen some in Social Media sort of excusing the inaction of LEOs in Ubalde as a result of the Black Lives Matter and ACAB movements.
It is not an excuse or even an explanation.
I understand you do not want to ruin your career and life for a shoplifting incident that goes left rather than right. Or even responding to certain neighborhoods where you know no matter what, you will be accused of mistreating a criminal who just slashed the hell out of a woman.
But if you stand outside a school while a shooter is killing kids, do not do shit including disobeying orders not to intervene, your community is better off if you give up the tin and the roscoe and take a job somewhere else.
You are supposed to draw the line and say: “This is where it stops.” Not bring a moral eraser because politics castrated you.
It’s always the places you can’t have a gun is where you really need one – Asian man on a subway
This was one of the protesters screaming at the NRA in Texas.

The thing is, he’s right. So why should I give up my guns? Does that make me stronger?
I know my limitations.
I have a bad back and bad knees. I don’t want to get into fist fight. I’ll get my ass kicked.
There is an old cowboy quote that perfectly sums up why I carry: “God created all men, Sam Colt made them equal.”
Take this incident from NYC:
A group of men attack a man in a New York subway. The victim looks to be Asian. Asking for the public’s help in identifying the attackers and having them arrested. One man is holding the defenseless man as others punch him. New York subways are not safe. Video sent by follower. pic.twitter.com/pEsKFCrznY

This Asian man is seemingly the victim of a hate crime at the hands of two savages who both have several inches on him.
One holds him while the other beats him.
Clearly the Asian man is weaker than his attackers.
One of Sam Colt’s inventions, or one of its descendents, would have made him equal to two bigger, stronger, taller men intent on harming him.
It’s just too bad that in NYC the weak are denied the right to carry and are easily preyed on by stronger thugs.
Perhaps the most horrible story Uvdale yet
Take a blood pressure pill before going any further.
The mother of a Texas school shooting victim was told by first responders that her daughter may have survived the massacre if authorities had acted quicker.
The fourth-grader, who was among the 19 students killed at Robb Elementary in Uvalde on Tuesday, bled to death after being shot in her kidney.
‘Her child had been shot by one bullet through the back through the kidney area,’ State Sen. Ronald Gutierrez told CNN Sunday morning. ‘The first responder that they eventually talked to said that their child likely bled out. In that span of 30 or 40 minutes extra, that little girl might have lived.’
That little girl bled out slowly while the cops fucked around in the hallway waiting for SWAT to show up.
Remember that the Chief of Police Pete Arredondo held his officers back because he assumed all the kids in there were already dead.
Well they weren’t. Some were still alive and bleeding out.
This is why it’s so important to rush in and stop the shooter right away.
Not just to keep him from killing more people but to rescue the wounded and begin bleeding control and life saving medical care.
We saw the exact same thing in Parkland. The delay cost lived as wounded students bled out.
I can’t imagine what this mother must be feeling.
To know her daughter could have survived if the police had gotten her out and to a hospital sooner but they stood around while her daughter bled out.
If some mourning parent were to killdozer his way through every Uvdale officer’s home, starting with Chief Pete, I’d pop some popcorn and enjoy the show.
The Heysel Stadium Disaster, May 29, 1985.
It was the final game for the European Cup of soccer that year. It matched Liverpool of England versus Juventus of Italy. It was also the peak time of the Hooligan Era, the infamous British soccer fans known to express both their pleasure and displeasure for the game by using all the violence they could muster. And that they did on that day ending with the death of 39 people.
I was in Venezuela then, barely a couple of weeks after finishing my studies in the US and still living in the “That won’t happen to me” frame of mind. It took two mass gatherings I attended, one as spectator where somebody got shot by the cops in front of me and another working as assistant sound engineer where the crowd became very rowdy and almost destructive while we were in the middle of it, to finally make me realize that big crowds were not the safest animal walking the Earth and that it should be avoided at all costs.
Since then and with a very few exceptions, I refuse to attend any kind of gatherings with more than 50 people. Exceptions are the perhaps’ twice a year religious attendance and only if I am within feet of an exit. The other exception was and still is any organized shooting match as I have never found any other group of people that would not engage in mass stupid behavior like shooters. Mostly because we all pretty much share the same frame of mind.
