>> Monday, October 11, 2010 – .357 magnum, guns

Because having it and not using it is a lot better than not having it and becoming a victim.

I spend a lot of time in and around the ghettos of Jackson, which nowadays, pretty much encompasses the entire town. And unfortunately, most of this time is at odd hours, the wee hours of morning or near dusk in the evenings. The perfect time for the scum and scoundrels that wreak havoc here to attempt some form of stupidity on a cracker in the wrong part of town.

The defense loads I carry are Corbon 125-grain DPX hollow points. These are a mid-weight round with excellent ballistics and penetration statistics. I figure if some dumb bastard wants to do a little "frontin'" on the man, well, man is gonna have a pretty good opportunity to stop that idiocy with little effort. Man loves gun.

Ok, get back to work you slackers. I'm gonna go check out what's going on in the company refrigerator. I should probably take my gun for that too. Never know what is lurking behind closed doors.

Bang. . .

>> Wednesday, January 23, 2008 – .357 magnum, attack, australia, crocodile

From 75 miles east of Darwin (ironically), Australia comes this story courtesy of the Times Online:

To have your arm crushed between the powerful jaws of one of nature’s most ferocious reptiles is one thing: then to be shot at the same time really is a bad day at the office.
But shots from a quick-thinking colleague probably saved the life of an Australian crocodile farm worker who was attacked by an angry female protecting her nest.
Jason Green, aged about 30, is recuperating in hospital after surgery for twin wounds from man and beast while his colleague, Zac Fitzgerald, 27, is being hailed a hero after the incident about 120km (75 miles) east of the northern Australian city of Darwin.
The men were collecting eggs from a grassy mound in a river late in the afternoon and had almost finished emptying a nest when the mother, estimated at 3m in length, returned in fury and lept out of the water.
Mr Fitzgerald shot at the saltwater crocodile, which promptly let go, but a second shot hit Mr Green in the same, right arm.

Jeez, and to think I thunk I had a bad day or two lately. Oh, and the gun of choice for the Aussie??
