Off to Kill Zombies

Or at least train to kill them. :-) Heading to Midland to train with a former SEAL this morning. Then get to train with SEAL Team 6 member Craig "Sawman" Sawyer in a few weeks.

Zombies, watch out! :-)

Tim,

I got a kick out of our "opposites": 1. the whole "zombie" thing just baffles me to the point that I'd even be ashamed to say it, 2. I have a S&W Magpull in desert tan with black clips

and the exact same soft case.

Have fun. I know ya will.

I'd also be embarassed to tell you how long I pondered what kind of bullet tip a "TA" was. LOL

Oh well, at least I can laugh at myself.

Boy's and their guns.

Not sure I'd know what a gun is if I saw one.

Mike that's funny.

Zombies are to the shooter what katas are to the katatica. It's a way to practice with an imaginary opponent.

We had an interesting day. We were running combat drills using live ammo "peel left, last man, push right, 3 man leapfrog, bound back..." Very intense firefight drills with Jason (the SEAL) yelling obscenities and yelling at each member "WTF are you doing, get you $%&#@$ a## back there and get the downed man and get your a##es behind the berm."

Very intense stuff, considering that you're working in close proximity to other guys, all of them firing 5.56 ammo all around you.

Then suddenly, all H### broke loose. We all heard 2 bullets zing just over our heads. I thought it was just part of the drill until I heard Jason yell "This is not a drill, get your $%#$% a###es behind cover right now!" Apparently some drunks were in a nearby field sooting over our heads. Real bullets zinging over your head changes the dynamic slightly. Jason and 2 other instructors hauled butt toward the direction the shots came from. He caught them and they had a nice little talk about what might happen if they do that again.

It was an interesting and fun day. Mike, you should come down for one of these classes.

If Mike wanted obscenities yelled at him and bullets flying over his head, wouldn't it be a lot closer for him to just go to Chicago on a Friday night?

It sure enough would. Probably wouldn't be near as fun though.

He almost got the chance when he came here. I took him through some of the roughest hoods around and forgot to show him the new bullet hole in my neighbor's house.

Most are unaware just how rough Richmond is. Been that way a looong time too.

Well, it's much calmer now. They started allowing more CCW and OC is more accepted. The thugs starting dying off like flies. Murder went from 170 a year to 32 last year. :) Wife loves her G42 and it goes everywhere. About 15 were people were killed by my shop.

Here's a pic of a thug that tried robbing me two years go. Those are 16cc nails sticking out of the sides of that club.

He came at me hollering for my money. I commanded he halt and only loosened my holster. He stopped and I said I'd drop him if he took one more step. I disarmed him and let him go. :) I hate the paperwork, etc. from shooting them. Sad thing is, I bet he forgets and tries it again some day. I had him at 21' that day. He'll never get closer to me than that if he does.

:laugh: I probably should have taken Mike and Lefty and given them a crack at him. I know where he hangs.

Awesome Frank. Those stats are hilarious. The anti's heads start exploding when you show them stats like that.. :lol:

In my part of the woods, OC is somewhat common. I probably see someone OC'n about once every other month. However, LOTS of people CC.

I'll never forget when I picked up my CHP from the county clerks office, I was shocked how many permits were in the envelope she pulled mine out of. I said, wow... busy month..? She said, nope... about average :)

Coincidentally, not a lot of violent crime out this way...lol

Way to go, Tinner!

My wife carries a S&W Bodyguard .38 wheelgun, but I just got her a G42. Nice gun.

I almost never sell a gun but my gun safe is seriously running out of room and there is no room for another safe. So, I gotta make a couple hard decisions which 2 guns hafta go. Leaning toward my FAL clone in .308, or my slick little FN PS90. The PS90 is a totally bad little bullpup but the 5.7 ammo is hard to find and I rarely shoot it.

OC is probably coming to Texas but I don't see myself doing it. Too many tactical disadvantages, imo.

Not a fan of OC period. Wearing my NRA hat and patting the buldge in my shirt, I've told people in stores that they are doing more to harm the gun issue than help, mostly because they are just so gung ho about "Ain't nobody gonna tell me I can't carry my constitutionally protected gun as I walk down main street scaring the kiddies."

See it a LOT in Alabama when we work there.

Of course there was the day when my dad went to Canada to hunt about 45 years ago, walked onto the plane, handed the stewardess his rifle case and went to his seat.

Change hasn't been good, but we have public favor going our direction and blatant display just doesn't help promote the cause.

I've carried a Sig P938 for a while, and have had a Colt defender in 9mm. Just love the colt but also always wanted to carry a 45. Bought the defender 45 a few months ago. It's nice as I can practice cheap with the 9 and carry the 45. With an IWB at 4 oclock, it still conceals virtually as well as the Sig, but the grip is much more suited to my hand and acquisition and draw are much faster, smoother and on target faster than the small sig could ever be.

Have been struggling to succeed at 10-10-10 drills required by our school and church for security team/carry when using the Sig, but could always do it with the colt. And now the 45 is more accurate than the 9. I'm lovin' it. (10-10-10 = Ten shots, Ten yards, Ten seconds in an 8" circle) If you don't have a 10 shot clip, you lose a second for each shot, so a 7 rnd capacity cuts you to seven seconds. Watching truly skilled handgunners has been a humbling experience, and I am pretty good compared to the norm. Some people are just mind blowing.

Hoping that Beth will start carrying the Sig. We'll see.

Agree on OC. Im personally not a fan. Most of the people I have seen in my area OC'n don't fit that profile though (gung ho). I've yet to ever see anyone OC a long gun either. I've seen some of the youtube vids of people doing it, & roll my eyes, as I too believe they only hurt the cause so to speak.

Colt Defender..!! Shwing..... nice! If I could pick up any .45 out there without concern for cost, it would be either the Defender, or Kimbers Ultra Raptor II. Both are gun porn to me.

Anita & I both carry wheel guns for EDC, in .357 I have a XD45 & a P89 I've had for over 20yrs but picked up the wheelie for the summer months. I wanted something to be able to carry in shorts & t-shirt without printing.

After sporting the smaller piece, I can't imagine trying to lug a full size .45 or even my 9mm in a CC situation. I have but, it's uncomfortable. I'd like to eventually get a compact .45 They're all fun to shoot though :) This spring/summer I hope to complete my personal range. I have a table up at 50yds, & plan on a pistol station at 7-10yds. Should be pretty cool when complete. Look forward to improving proficiency with it.

G-26 and G-19 for me. Lou sometimes carries the 26. I had and really loved my 6906, but one day, I found that under stress, I really blew the second shot going from DA to SA. Practice went outt he window the day I had about a second to recognize the threat, draw while sidestepping because of people downrange. The practice that was good was hitting CM on the first shot. Switching to SA, I was off and wasted a round and a second going for the third. I didn't need it, but I was ready b then. DA or striker fire only for me now.
