Default Friends don't let Loved Ones (or friends) Carry pop guns

Saw a GSW to the leg, drove in, not bad all some soft tissue damage....not much blood...missed the tib/fib & walked out...

was a .25 cal pistol....

Like somebody stuck a 25cal icepick in the leg...almost slowed the person down...but not much...drove to the hospital aboout 30/45 min after the shooting...self inflected trying to clean the pistol...

walking is always better than crawling....

Unless ya shot a guy and he's walking toward you instead of crawling...I'd much rather shoot somebody and have them crawl than walk...

Blue safety slugs don't penetrate deep enough to do much damage other thas superficial, the Glaser Silver penatrate deeper.

This is the 2nd shooting I've personally seen with a 25 cal...neither shooting did more than sort of slow down the person shot....neither required any surgery, or even a overnight stay in the hospital....

Ball ammo is like a icepick.....while the blue all but explodes and transfers it's energy upon contact...shoot a fat guy with a 25 auto glaser blue in the belly and chances are you won't penatrate any deeper than the fat...all the energy is transferred to his belly fat...it's ugly/bloody but superficial.....


Silver goes a tad deeper...

I've got both Glaser Blue & Silver...but carry gold dot's.....
