Condolences, for sure. I sometimes wonder if the “powers that be” have any intention of ever trying to fix their consistently denied urban gang problems. Did they at least catch them? I’d say “bring them to justice”, but we know that doesn’t happen in the urban blue, anywhere in the US.

No doubt, though East St. Louis was no picnic, as I remember…never did enjoy traveling through there.

As you should, if they make you feel safer. As an aside, living in Texas, I would certainly carry a gun daily on a farm, or in desolate terrain, especially in the Spring! Probably want to keep some snake shot available as well.

I hope this isn’t your neighborhood in CO. ['The more central Aurora became to Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric, the greater the temptation among Democratic politicians and activists to wave away talk of gang activity in the city as a right-wing hallucination,' the Times wrote this month. 'But...

Ask your hypothetical questions AFTER you’ve been in an accident (that was no fault of yours, with no way to avoid) that totals the vehicle you were in…

I have no doubt I will be able to protect myself with one of my J Frames (5 or 6 round) or my 18 rd EDC x9, or any of my 15 rd DA/SAs. And I’m pretty sure we weren’t talking guns? I also never questioned your “right” to use your door stopper. I merely mentioned that if I started to need one...

No worries there. They are well trained, well behaved, and well cared for.

To me, that’s an easy one. A seatbelt absolutely adds to your safety…but only if you have a significant enough accident. Getting t-boned in my 2015 4Runner by a texter blowing a red light, totalling said 4Runner, verified that lesson for me. 4Runner spun twice and hit a light post near the...

Did somebody mention 10mm earlier in this thread. Just came in via email…

Guess I’m still not understanding the gist of your question. As long as you stay barricaded inside your quarters, I guess you’re safe? If it comes to needing that on my door here to be/feel safe, I would very much consider moving, additional expense or not. That alone tells me my neighborhood...

Well, I can certainly quantify safer as not needing a security guard to protect my dwelling. (Referring to this part of your post “I looked out the door and about a yard away from my front door a security guard was dealing with an EDP. I asked him if the cops had been notified and asked if he...

Left St. Louis (outskirts) in 1976 and have had zero desire to return…it was pretty bad then, though I don’t recall riots in Ferguson.

Truth!

It’s all about situational awareness. The more aware you are, the more safe you are. I moved into the house I currently reside in October 1985. It was a relatively new neighborhood then, one of the nicer in the “city” of 120k (think it was about 95k back then). Houses all built in/around...

But initially (as in the first few P320 incidents) wouldn’t the same have been true, that the agencies had no obligation to report and they didn’t want to look bad or at fault? Why did P320 incidents gain the traction they have, to the point agencies now use the design of the P320 as a...

But why is it (in recent years) almost always a P320? I’m sure all LE agencies aren’t using P320s. Shouldn’t we be seeing similar incidents, in similar number of occurrences, with EVERY brand of duty gun being used by LE agencies if it’s purely a lack of training/skill/competence in handling...

I voted for the Mod 3, basically because if I’m going to buy a gun between two that are very similar I’d want the version with the most updated options.

…and extra life insurance…

Section IV Evaluation, 1st paragraph. Interesting that Sig was invited to participate in the investigation and declined. The most adamant Sig apologists (re: P320 uncommanded discharges) insist Sig will always participate in such investigations when invited. I’m sure those same apologists...
