Don't Carry One in The Chamber, Eh?

[Oh Shoot]

Surprised this (as far as I can find) hasn't been posted on TGO...

looks like a PERFECT example of why to keep a round chambered, as apparently the fellow (who was killed according to other posts I read) had to attempt to rack slide first, more than once, so maybe there was a malf too, dunno.

Makes me ill.

[Guest Muttling]

wow

[Dropkick Murphy]

Holy shiznit, that made me sick to my stomach.

[ftncityfatboy]

wow

[Volzfan]

That's horrible! Makes me sick too.

[dats82]

That is sad. I hope everyone who does not carry with one in the chamber will see this.

[DavidD]

Yup, that is exactly what could most likely happen. Hopefully someone will see this and learn something.

[Guest db99wj]

The guy actually seems pretty quick to the draw, but once he went to rack the slide, there was no telling how many shots that had hit him. Man, sad.

[Guest goose385]

From reading the comments, it looks like this was a hit. Dude was shot immediately upon entry of the gunmen.

[Guest m&pc9]

That happened in Agra, It cant happen in the US.

[Guest B_Carter]

Point taken. Slide racked.

Powerful video

[trblmkr13]

That was like watching a nightmare

Yah, exactly.

I think I'd wear BA if I had to work in a place like that...

[greenego]

You never know what will come through the door next. Better to be ready than sorry or dead.

Yeah, and ya can't really tell if first shot was lethal or whatever.

But one thing is clear, that he DID have time to return fire any number of shots, IF his gun worked.

Of course, to be fair, I don't see how anyone can tell from the video for sure if indeed he didn't start with a round in chamber, or whether gun malfed from the gitgo or what.

Did anyone notice when the vid is done and the related videos pop-up there is a disturbing one from Nashville? Involving a shotgun.

[Guest jackdm3]

Talking about death videos with my wife, and recounted the ones I've seen. Comes to AT LEAST 8 times. That's not what you want to see, but on the other hand, something tells me I needed to see them. Unfortunately, I think we need to know the consequences of our actions/mistakes like leaving an empty chamber. That man died in less than 20 seconds of impact and his friend couldn't even lift him onto the table before he was dead weight. Crushes me.

Yep, you shore don't hafta go to India to find death from Very Bad People.

Indeed... if the video had sound, it would have been more clear what exactly happened. One thing's for sure, the dudes that shot him had some nerve, walking right up to a gun to kick the victim.

Dang.

Dang.

It probably would not have been any clearer with sound. With all the commotion and noise you'd never be able to figure it out. Oh, that and the fact that this was from India, unless there's another Agra.

I've watched frame by frame a couple of times and it looked like he was trying to rack the slide from the moment he drew. I don't think he had one in the chamber.

It also looks like he wasn't pulling the slide all the way back when he was trying to rack it.

He was certainly quick and had a lot of sense about him for having just been shot. I think he would have hit at least one of them if the weapon had been loaded or had functioned if it were loaded.

[krunchnik]

Pretty disturbing,I now know the reason I have never carried other than cocked and locked,takes one step out of the fray.I really believe that if a person cannot trust themselves with a chambered round they may need to rethink their position on being armed to begin with.

[Guest Jcochran88]

Man that is horrible! Makes you think about how quick it could happen.

[Wingshooter]

That was traggic.

The BG's had the element of surprise, and that one added step of chambering a round could make the difference. I always carry with one ready to go.
