Northeastwrecks once bubbled...


Personally, I'd rather hear that than an announcement that we are all about to die for allah.

Packing heat serves two purposes.......hijackers and creditors

Agreed.

That's why I used to carry a primary and a backup piece, both with hot loads, when I used to represent creditors. On really nasty jobs I substituted an H&K with a laser aim point for my primary and wore body armor with steel plates and a helmet.

That made for some interesting meetings.

Since leaving that practice, I limit myself to a single .40 cal.

Don't forget, however, that packing is also useful for persuading potential muggers, robbers, carjackers and home invaders of the errors of their ways.

Once, I drew down on someone who wanted to inspect my wife's purse for cash and valuables. The look on his face was frickin priceless. He started yelling for the PO-leese (his pronunciation, not mine), then left a little puddle of liquid where he was standing and beat feet for the nearest alley. I verified that he had left while my wife covered me with her piece. We went on to enjoy our dinner at a nearby restaurant.

Maybe he'll think twice the next time he contemplates rolling a couple in business clothes.
 
I like your style, we need more people out there to let the villians know that there is a consequence.:D

Well, thank you very much, sir.

Scuberd, I agree. How many of your basic punks would consider knocking off the 7-11 if they knew that at least half of the people in the store were armed citizens.

I'll even go so far as to wonder how well the 911 murderers would have gotten if even one of the passengers in the first class section or one of the pilots had been carrying. Explosive decompression sucks, but not as much as crashing into the WTC and the Pentagon.

Explosive decompression sucks

Sure.....it's a bit noisy....a bit windy.....a bit foggy.....but it doesn't last long..... and......when you are back below 10,000 feet you can take your mask off......then.... generally the airline will open up the bar and hand out free drinks and all the pretzels you can handle. You always have to look at the up side.........

Yeah. And if you use the sintered rounds available from some of the personal defense people, and you hit your target, you won't even over penetrate.

You can send murder-boy looking for his 72 virgins right on the flight deck.
 
We have a kinder and gentler way of dealing with bad guys on airplanes. The last hijacking of a Canadian registered aircraft took place years ago when it was fashionable to hitch a free ride to Cuba on a Douglas or Boeing product. Somewhere over the prairie provinces, when the bad guy let his guard down, the First Officer caught him in the head with the blunt end of the flight deck fire axe.

End of incident........

Left a mark...............


As a sidenote...........being a true Canadian........the FO later apologised.
