Note the role of "prior inconsistent statements." While I am in no
position to judge the merits of the case, the defendant's claims are
consistent with what we know about the effects of being involved in a
shooting. (1) Don't rush to provide details on shooting incidents,
particularly without an attorney. (2) Deadly Force Encounters, by Alexis
Artwohl and Loren Christensen is well worth the investment, to learn
about the effects of high stress during and following deadly
confrontations as well as how to deal with them.

great-grandmother underwent triple-bypass surgery last year, and then
recovered to win a bronze medal in the women's shooting division of the
Badger State Games in June. "When a gun fits you, it don't kick," she
said of her pet Browning Lightning 12-gauge over-under shotgun.

English Grandmother Arrested After Teenager Breaks Her Arm: During a
torrent of foul-mouthed abuse from a gang, the frail 64-year-old prodded
the teenager ringleader in the stomach when he urged her to "Hit me, if
you dare". Adding insult to her subsequently broken arm, police officers
arrested her for assaulting a child after his mother moaned he had been
attacked.

From John Farnam:
31 July 06
On the S&W M&P Pistol and its irritating magazine safety, from a friend
and well-known pistolsmith:
"The M&P's magazine disconnect, as it turns out, can just be taken out.
No need to clip or pin it back and out of action. The lever is mounted
on a cross pin and cams the trigger bar away from the sear. When the
entire part is simply removed, the trigger bar will stay in contact with
the sear, and the pistol will operate as if it were never there!"
For those who, like me, consider "magazine safeties" on serious pistols
a death trap, there appears now to be an easy way of getting rid of it
on the otherwise excellent M&P. My copy came without a magazine safety,
but most M&Ps found on retail shelves have one installed.
/John
(There are those who counsel against disabling a manufacturer's safety
device on a firearm, arguing that it could look bad in a civil suit. I
am not in a position to determine if this likelihood is lessened if the
manufacturer offers the option of deleting the "safety feature,"
typically on an agency contract. My feeling is that if a
magazine-disconnect safety is distasteful to you, purchase a pistol that
doesn't have one.)
31 July 06
Beretta's PX4 Pistol:
Here is another excellent, serious pistol! I've had the opportunity to
carry for the past several weeks: the Beretta PX4 Storm in 40S&W. It
went through a thorough workout last weekend during a Three-Gun Course
we did in NM.
The PX4 is a light, polymer-frame, compact autoloader, designed for
concealed carry. Gregg Garrett at Comp-Tac made me a C-Tac/IWB holster
for it, and it carries concealed just fine. Like S&W's M&P, it features
interchangeable grip panels, and all three sizes come with each pistol.
My copy has the "Constant-Action" trigger, which is the only variation I
recommend. It is hammer-fired, but self-decoking and has no manual
decocking lever. The trigger pull is short, similar to SIG's DAK system.
My 229/DAK is a constant, six pounds. Beretta's PX4/Constant Action is
nearly identical, but eight pounds.
The PX4 uses a rotary-barrel action. To lock and unlock, the barrel
rotates instead of tilting. Size and weight is the same at the M&P,
SIG's 229, H&K's P2000, and the G23. It comes apart almost exactly like
a Glock, except that it does not need to be dry-fired before field
stripping. There are no small parts, and it can't be put back together
incorrectly. Externally, the PX4 is smooth and devoid of sharp edges and
corners. It is a working gun, designed to spend its life in a holster.
It has no magazine safety, nor "loaded-chamber indicator," thank Heaven!
Much more compact and carryable than Beretta's 92-series, the PX4, I
believe, will now displace older Beretta models.
I ran several hundred rounds of randomly mixed, badly-corroded, junk
ammunition through my copy of the PX4. It gobbled it all up with nary a
hiccup. On one occasion, the pistol was dropped in the dust, picked up,
and immediately fired. It continued to run just fine. I'm carrying it
now, loaded with Cor-Bon/DPX. In 40S&P, the PX4 is a fifteen-shooter,
and magazines are metal and, alas, designed in Beretta's thumb-busting
tradition!
Like S&W, I think Beretta now has a genuinely useable and carryable,
serious pistol. Reliable, durable, and accurate, the PX4 is good to go.
Beretta is coming back!
/John
(Sounds good but I learned many years ago not to run out and buy the
latest firearm just because it just got a glowing review. Caveat emptor.
My old S&W revolvers still seem to work just fine.)

Excellent follow-up comment from a friend a student:
"I am struck by the similarity of Montgomery's naive thinking to the
ever-present, and similarly falsely seductive, 'one-shot stop.' No
doubt seduced by Hollywood's fraudulent portrayal of their pistol's
mighty 'stopping power,' many naively expect a single handgun bullet to
stop any determined attacker in his tracks. As Montgomery foolishly
forgot (or, blinded by his lust for glory, ignored), THE ENEMY GETS TO
VOTE TOO! The adolescent expectation of a 'one-shot stop' may well
prove fatal, as you risk mentally disengaging too soon.
As you are light-heartedly planning your victory celebration, your
determined adversary may well continue his deadly attack, undeterred,
undelayed, and unimpressed, and you may not find the time to re-engage!
A mental 'Bridge Too Far,' if you will."
My late, great colleague, Pierce Brooks, once listed the "Ten Deadly
Sins" committed by police officers. Of the Ten, the most venomous is
"Relaxing Too Soon!"
/John
(Reference is to one of John's recent historical commentaries, in this
case about the failure of Operation Market-Garden in WWII. I do not
normally share these historical commentaries with the list as they tend
to be lengthy and sometimes oblique. For those who wish to read every
one of John's commentaries, they are archived at
http://www.defense-training.com/quips/quips.html, albeit with lag time
at times. The "Bridge Too Far" commentary is dated 04 Aug 06.)

Important details from a friend currently in Iraq:
Nearly all soldiers and Marines here now have ACOGs or EOTechs mounted
on their rifles. Most are of the opinion that these optics
significantly increase their ability to hit quickly. Even SAWs have optics!
There is still a lot of green-tip in use, but the Black Hills 77gr round
is seen a lot too, particularly among Marines. However, bitter
complaints persist among veterans about lack of range and inadequate
penetration. Most contractors (including me) get their hands on a
Kalashnikov, in 7.62X39 (Soviet 30) the first chance they get, knowing
the cartridge to be superior to the 223, in every way.
On that vein, we contractors are admonished, on pain of termination, to
never use, or even possess, any weapon that is not US-government
issued. That regulation, like all stupid rules, is universally, and
contemptuously, ignored! We are all finding ways of purchasing and
concealing private firearms and blades. Around here, we are much more
worried about getting killed or kidnapped than getting fired. Duh!
Everyone here carries a blade, usually several! Every conceivable
variation of fighting knife can be seen on an individual's belt, or
tucked in his waistband. This is a good trend and a wonderful example
of personal initiative on the part of our Soldiers and Marines.
There are still lots NDs here, nearly all among 'cold-range' types.
Muzzle consciousness is lax. We need more professional-gunman
discipline and less politically-correct, nanny-state training!
Keep pushing the System in the right direction, John!"
Comment: In all likelihood, this nation is going to be at war,
continuously, for the remainder of our lifetimes! We need to return to
our heritage of a nation of warriors, a nation of professional gunmen.
Right now, we're too much a nation of clueless wimps, and current
military training is (obviously) insufficient to overcome this "loser
orientation."
It can't be said too often: it is way past time to move on from the
223! We need a real battle cartridge that is (1) effective at long
distances and (2) shoots through things. We can get new airplanes, new
missiles, new vehicles, even a new pistol, but, for some reason, we
can't seem to get a new rifle!
As the world continues to plummet toward a new Dark Age, we will need
every advantage this civilization can deliver!
/John
(I repeat my caution to evaluate the downrange signature ["target
indicator"] of aiming devices such as Aimpoints, EOTechs and ACOG's. If
I were going to war, I too might prefer a .30-caliber rifle. Perhaps
ironically, the .223/5.56x45mm has proven to be an excellent defensive
urban cartridge, particularly in its earlier incarnation, with
lightweight bullets out of slow-twist barrels. We all have our biases
and John obviously developed a dislike for the .223 back in Vietnam;
other observers note that it seems to work adequately with well-centered
hits. Clearly, it is not the best choice for shooting through cover. For
the homeowner defending his house and family, that is often a desirable
feature. Compared to a pistol-caliber carbine, the .223 is generally
less likely to penetrate outer walls of frame-and-stucco homes but will
penetrate soft body armor.)

PREPARING TODAY TO PROTECT FREEDOM TOMORROW
With the dog days of summer upon us, thoughts tend to turn to family,
vacation, swimming pools, and barbeques. Yet, while they may seem like
a long way off, the 2006 elections are barely three months away! In
recent election cycles, gun owners have enjoyed tremendous successes.
But none of our victories have happened by accident. It takes careful
long-term advance planning to ensure victory for the Second Amendment on
Election Day.
As in every election year, two things will win this year's elections for
gun owners--votes and hard work. And no pro-Second Amendment candidate
can do without both. Be assured the anti-gun crowd is hoping you don't
turn out in support of our candidates.
If you are not currently registered to vote, or if you have recently
moved, please make sure you register to vote at once. And please ensure
every one of your family, friends, and fellow firearm owners are
registered voters as well. For information on voter registration
requirements, deadlines, and applications for your state, contact the
NRA-ILA Grassroots Division at (800) 392-VOTE (8683) or visit the
"Register to Vote" section at www.NRAILA.org.
The second part of our formula for electoral success is actively
volunteering your time to the campaigns of candidates who support our
rights. This is where your NRA-ILA Election Volunteer Coordinator (EVC)
becomes interal to our efforts. Your EVC is an NRA member--just like
you--who spearheads our volunteer campaign activities in your
congressional district.
For more than a decade, EVCs have been acting as the liaison between NRA
members and gun owners in your district and various pro-freedom
campaigns. The main role of an EVC is to provide these campaigns with
dedicated, educated volunteers to assist with phone banks, literature
drops, precinct walks, voter registration drives, Election Day
activities, and other volunteer campaign activities. Your EVC is also
the link in your area to assist with NRA-ILA's legislative agendas at
the federal, state, and local levels.
Even if you can spare only a few hours here and there, your EVC needs to
hear from you. To identify and contact your EVC, please visit
www.NRAILA.org, or call the ILA Grassroots Division at (800) 392-VOTE
(8683). While most congressional districts are currently o vered by an
EVC, there are still vacancies we are trying to fill. If you are
interested in serving as your district's EVC, or simply want to learn
more about the program, please call ILA Grassroots and ask to speak to
your state's Grassroots Coordinator. PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE. CONTACT
YOUR EVC TODAY!
NRA-ILA "MIX N' MINGLES"

election season.
To ensure victory for our pro-gun candidates this election year, NRA-ILA

the benefits of being affiliated with the NRA. The forum affords clubs
the opportunity to learn and discuss: integrating NRA programs that
strengthen your club and community; special benefits to clubs (range
services, NRA endorsed insurance, etc.); and networking between local
clubs and state associations. All clubs and state associations are
invited to attend the Club Universities.
NRA Headquarters staff will be present to speak about various NRA
programs including competitive shooting, youth/women's programs, ranges
and Eddie Eagle. Other staff representatives will give information on
grants, club recruiting and legislative initiatives. Speakers'
presentations will be geared toward how clubs can implement and grow
programs at the local level and the benefits clubs receive from program
delivery.
The forums will conclude with roundtable discussions on current issues
clubs face. These can include suburban encroachment, databases, member
attrition, etc.�whatever is most pertinent to attendees�so they can
benefit from their peers' experiences.
The three 2006 Club Universities will be held: August 12, in Ashley, OH;
August 26, in Mt. Kisco, NY; and September 16, in Santa Ana, CA.
Admission is FREE and meals are provided. Each university runs from

CONNECTICUT
In an effort to settle a dispute between two neighbors over a private
shooting range, Montville Mayor Joseph Jaskiewicz acknowledged in the
New London newspaper The Day that he is working with the town attorney
to draft a proposal to restrict shooting in Montville. The newspaper
characterized the Mayor's plan as an ordinance that would outlaw the
discharge of a firearm "within 500 feet of an occupied building, near
livestock, pets or people, or land designated as a nature preserve,
conservancy or town park." Despite attempts to view the proposed
language, NRA has thus far been denied the opportunity. But, as
described in the article, the proposal could only be interpreted as a
prohibition of most types of recreational shooting and would outlaw the
discharge of a firearm for personal protection. It is imperative that
NRA members contact Mayor Jaskiewicz at (860) 848-3030 Ext. 301, and
urge him to drop his proposal. The measure could beintroduced to the
Town Council as early as August 14. Also be sure to contact your Town
Council members to ask them to oppose Mayor Jaskiewicz's anti-gun
proposal, please use the following link:
