Handguns and firearms talk

The castle doctrine / stand your ground law (how they label it) is a little different in Texas. Remember this is a conservative state where they believe you have a right to defend yourself.

@bubbleking there is no excuse not to read up and know exactly what the law says bro.

For sure, and they are going back to the 9mm as well for faster follow up shots. I was told it had something to do with more women agents as well.

Some of you guys on here acting like a .22 isnā€™t dangerousā€¦that is absolutely untrue.

A friend of my dadā€™s died when I was a kid because he was drunk and playing around with his brother shooting at each other across the yard in a sort of redneck-William-Tell type situation. Took one to the chest and died on the spot. Standard .22 round. It sounds stupid but thatā€™s exactly what happened.

Richard Kuklinski often used 22 caliber handguns.

Point is, still incredibly dangerous, donā€™t get flippant just because it has less stopping power.

That seems to be the same description of the laws i gave. Notice its not a stand your ground/castle doctrine law. Its two seperate laws.
Castle doctrine/protection of property.
Stand your ground/protection of person.

OKā€¦ Good job.

Yeah, I see that. It was a quick reference point. Also remember that the initial law enforcement assessment has alot to do with what is/isnā€™t filed, so the interpretation has alot to do with the outcome. For example Cali could have the same exact law except the cops are pushing for conviction of the citizen vs the justification belief by law enforcement in a different part of the country. There are many different facets to it.

I have admired that since the first time I saw an advertisement for it. My gun cabinet would be 3.5x as badass with that in it.

Iā€™ve heard they went back to 9mm because of the new technology advancements on the round, that and limp wristers.

That does kind of ring a bell. They had decided that follow up shots were more important than knockdown power. Iā€™m sure that advancing technology is always going to play a role.

The gentleman I was talking ran a pawn shop/ gun shop, and was a licensed glock dealer.

This topic pisses me off. Firearms are yesterdayā€™s news, they belong in the history exhibits of the old west. Build your own weapon schlubs.

Speaking of poker!
