1911 Boyfriends
Another strip to get the 1911 owners to firebomb my house. I’d point out that Mick’s views are his own, not mine, and that the .45 is anything but an underpowered round. I don’t like 1911s, but I would never argue that they don’t have enough power. No, Mick dislikes them for home defense for reasons that will be clear in the upcoming comics…
Help me out, internets, I’m having a hard time finding something.
Years ago, when I was deciding on what my home defense purchase would be, I decided on the .357 magnum. Part of this was due to a coroner’s report/Sheriff’s dept. report that had been leaked online. A deputy was called out to some trailer park in, I believe, North Dakota, for a domestic dispute. Upon arrival, the husband of the pair barged outside, brandishing a 12-ga pump at the deputy. The deputy drew and fired his .357 magnum, and one shot stopped the very drunk, furious, idiot.
I remember quite clearly in the reports: the scanned, handwritten note was that the coroner/law enforcement officers found over 2 oz. of the perp’s lung tissue 6 feet behind the body, and bone fragments up to ten feet behind him. The deputy’s service piece had been loaded with Winchester JHP, 125 grain. The perp was dead almost immediately, as the cavitation of the bullet pretty much pulped his heart.
They say “the internet never forgets,” but I’m finding more and more as I look around that this is incorrect. (Hotendotey, one of the internet’s first major and offensive webcomics, for instance, has apparently vanished.)
I know I didn’t imagine this. I was looking through reports to see which was better, the .40 or the .357 mag, and that report totally made up my mind on what I’d want to use in the event of a home invasion. And I’m glad I chose it – my Taurus .357 model 669 is one of my absolutely FAVORITE weapons of all time.
But now I can’t find this report, and it’s annoying. Anyone know where it is?
Gruesome, I know, but welcome to the world of gun culture.
One of my friends had a question about bayonets and other such melee attachments for a modern firearm. This was part of my response, to show just how ridiculous some people can be. And yet, I want one. It’s stupid, but… want.
Ah, yes! The .357 is a damn fine weapon, and I still love my little old Ruger GP100/1702. Reasonably-priced, reliable and simple. It’s been a faithful friend. No hate for the 1911 or any other weapon. It’s all kinda subjective – different needs and preferences for everyone, go with what works for you! Peace, love, and a good supply of ammo! 😉
The internet links break over time and people (media censors) have been going around removing sites when the traffic level drop below a certain number or are inactive for a set amount of time. Why do you think that we’ve been seeing media edits more and more with politicks? That damaging stuff from older YouTube and other media outlets often is taken down to prevent the internet skeletons from leaking out. That gov’t. employees at certain offices are told to remove stuff since its offensive, obscene, etc. that lately has been also under domain seizure by the FBI as well.
Police reports are only supposed to be seen by Lexis Nexus and Westlaw which are paid and controlled sites.Mainly for legal and “official” use only. When sites like Smoking Gun post this stuff it’s investigated and after a certain time the link magically dries up. Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman’s autopsy official reports have been removed and replaced with transcripts (so any side notes that were on the official record have been purged). Other famous deaths are the same way when public records are removed or replaced with”official” transcripts that have been cleaned up.
Hi there!
This guy mentions seeing lung tissue thrown 3 feet behind a body from a .357 with 125 grain. Maybe he was there? 0_o http://www.gunblast.com/RKCampbell_StoppingPower.htm (all the way at the end. He mentions it offhand as an afterthought)
And yes, Todd’s right. Westlaw was a good idea. However I HAVE access to Westlaw, (Librarian) and I couldn’t find this case. 🙁
I’ll keep looking. [determined]
Holy crap, someone else remembers Hotendotey.
“I’ve been dating a 14 year old.”
“Man, she must be pretty tight!”
Good times, that strip. Some say that Space Moose was the most offensive strip ever, but in my opinion, Hotendotey had SM beat six ways from Sunday.
