sounds like they may have been drunk locals if they we asleep in the car. Sounds more like maybe passed out. I guess you may have handled it the best way you dd but I wold have made sure the authorities were notified if not that night the next morning and I would have gotten the plate number of the car if you were really sure it was the same car. By them just firing in ya'lls direction they could have shot and killed one or more of you guys. Guys like that need to be dealt with before they do kill someone........jmho

My Ruger LCP is a striker pistol which I have as back up to my Bersa on most outings in pocket. The only long pull on the Bersa is the first round and I have become very accustom to that operation since i have 3 of them and go to the range with them often, ammo permitting. I am not crazy about a full striker weapon but most all pocket pistols like the LCP are designed that way....jmho

If that would have been one of my kids acting out like that there would have been and immediate exit of the restaurant and a lesson taught before either leaving the restaurant  or going back in with a new attitude of my child. My two boys never got away with anything like that in public or at home. Fit throwing meant trip to wood shed in my home. As far as the guy buying the pies. Nice of him to buy all his co workers a treat..............jmho

Ok and I thank all of you for your replies. The reason for my asking this question was because a buddy of mine said he would never carry a DA/SA because of that first long trigger pull. I carry my Bersa with it is double action mode with hammer down and all safety's in fire mode. That way if I need to react to a situation I can react in one smooth move when I would need to fire first round, Yes it would be a long trigger pull for first round. But if I pull my self defense weapon it will be to most likely defend myself or another person from a life threatening danger and with the rush of adrenalin at that point the long trigger pull will seem like a split second before the gun discharges the first round. How many feel that my thoughts are or may be correct? In a life threatening situation when Adrenalin is rushing through your body will that long trigger pull make a difference at that point is my question? My thought is no but always like to hear other opinions. .......................... :up: :up:

When I began looking for my carry guns of choice the first question my buddy put to me was was did I want a semi auto or a wheel gun? I said a semi auto and he said single action or double action. It had been so long since I looked at hand guns I didn't even know they were making DA Semi auto's.  Anyway I said I wanted to check them all out so spent about 3 months shooting all kinds of guns and settled on a double action semi auto Bersa 380 for first gun. Now I have several DA's and a few Single actions and enjoy them both equally at the range but I carry  a DA. What is ya'lls preferences?..................just curious

Well, the NCAA passed approval that college athletes can be paid for playing sports while attending college. Since many kids that play college ball are there on scholarships that are in some way paid for by tax dollars or other fund raising organizations I think if they are going to begin paying college athletes that are attending school on a scholarship they should loose that scholarship funding and they can finish paying their way through school and scholarships can be given to non athletic students that don't play sports but need the scholarship money to attend college. I already know that grade point averages don't mean anything if your a hot wide receiver or a hot quarterback or any other star player. You can tell that if you listen to them in the professional level during and after a game when they are interviewed and they can't put a 7 word sentence together that they did'nt fair well in the class rooms but excelled on the playing field or BB court..............jmho

I carry all factory to date but that is because I carry a 380 or 2 while I'm out. I have shot factory reloads at the range and on had 1 FTF in about 800 rounds at the range so I would feel comfortable using them. Now that for the time being I own a 40 Caliber and all I have is new ammo I guess after some range time and practice with the 40, if I decide to keep it and carry it I will probably still use new ammo since I don't reload.......... :rock:  :rock: 

gosh!!!! do you carry the Barrett 82A1 very often?...................just curious!!!!

:wave:    Is this thread nearing any kind of records for most views or anything?????          Just curious............. :shrug:

Well, I will probably find out this weekend. I hope I can deal with it ok cause I do like the idea of having a bigger caliber around even though I think I could do enough damage with my 380's if push came to shove........................jmho

Well , I'm just glad you were not hurt Monk and sorry they got away. I remember my son telling me once about an egg incident that took place on him while he and his two sons were on their home from an afternoon outing. Some kids in a car hit his SUV several times with some eggs. All I can say was wrong truck wrong day. My son and his two boys were on their way home from a paint Ball competition that they competed in and they still had plenty of ammo still in the guns. Son turned around and had little trouble catching them and my two Grandsons marked the car up really well and the guys inside also because they could not get the windows up fast enough. The were orange and Lime Green Florescent and glowing when cops got them in Kingston Springs. They thanked my son because they had been getting complaints on these kids for a week and no one could give a good description of the car. My two grandsons made it easy to locate. Bet it would have been fun if you would have had a paint ball gun huh Monkey/...............jmho 

Probably right into the "Danger Zone" if it is true..............jmho   Your probably right OS. I am totally convinced that people now days love to have crooks in public office. Haslam has been caught in how many scandals and yet the people want him back in office again........... :shrug: :shrug:

Now wait a minute, What has the moon done that is so bad it needs to be shot. I like moon light and if you shoot it your gonna break a couple light bulbs and it won't be as bright..................... :panic: :panic:

I guess by the time they did all that work they are just to tired to break a window .................jmho

Well I have never had much use for Ramsey and now I have less use for him. He just looks like someone you can't trust and I would never vote for him, not even for dog catcher. I hope Senator Beavers does bring it back and maybe by then there will be a change in the Governors office also but I don't know if Haslam has anyone challenging him???

I realize it may seem like a small issue to most of us but what would be the case if it were an elderly couple driving home from church or store and the egg did manage to make it through an open window striking the driver in the face or head? Very possibly causing an accident and killing someone. Some times harmless pranks are not all that harmless and can be very dangerous. I would have followed them until I at least got a plate number and real good description of car before cutting them loose. Some pranks just need to be addressed is all I'm saying...................jmho

Ok so that means that Senators voting no were: Kelsey, Overbey, Finney, Stevens -- 4. and they were the reason we did not get these passed if I am correct????

Thanks for answering the question I was about to ask OS.  Do we know who killed the bills?

I honestly wonder if the things were fast enough to count the gun shots in the hoods of Chicago in one weekend. I hear people complaining all the time and read about it all the time about all of the shootings in Chicago on any given weekend yet the police seldom if ever can catch the shooter or shooters and can't seem to even find any witnesses to the shooting. Funny how that works up there. A shooting takes place in a park in broad daylight and there may be as many as 100 people in the park and not one person saw the shooter or the vehicle the shooter left in if he even left at all. the shooter was part of the crowd standing around when the police finally arrived for all the cops know. Thing is in Chicago people don't trust the police any more than they trust the shooters in many cases so they really have no place to turn unless it is to arm themselves and hope they are like Marshal Dillon and faster on the draw if time ever comes.......................jmho

Congratulations on your success getting on at Nissan. Great company to work for................ :up:  :up: 

Now thats funny right there........................ :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rock: :rock: :rock:

Well I was impressed at the weight of the gun. It looks a lot heavier than it is. It is actually does not much heavier then my 380's. That is what concerns me. The weight of the gun and the snappy reaction of the 40 Caliber cartridge discharge. I have had several people talk about them being great guns but snappy to shoot. I guess sending lead down range will give me my answer whether she goes in the safe or to a new home.................... :up: :up: Let me know when you can come shoot. I don't know what ranges are open on Sunday. The ones I use I know are not and I'm not sure if Sumner Gun and Supply is open on Sunday or not.

I was born in extreme west Cook County (Chicago) in a small town of about 5,000 people and we talked southern even up there. My mother was from Craggie Hope, Tennessee and between my mother and my Grand mother that also grew up in Craggie Hope we talked southern, ate southern, and learned all about the south in our home growing up so when we finally moved down here I was 17 and fit right on in like I had been in Tennessee all my life. People up north always would ask us if we were from the south and it was easier to say yes ma'am or yes Sir than it was to try and explain why we sounded the way we did. My mother use to say Born in the USA and southern by the grace of GOD............. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I agree with you 100% Sam. Problem is the people that do these things and buy this technology honestly think  it is the absolute best way to catch the bad guys because a damn good salesman told them it would even put hand cuffs on the bad guys!! The the guy that does the buying for the state or city or county is to stupid to boot the guy out of his office and stupid enough to drop several million for technology that does next to nothing to actually fight crime...............jmho

I have a few 40's and plenty of 380's. we can shoot up. When ya coming up?
