Another point to be made is to stay away from places where the mobs are.

I actually looked into this pretty extensively and it's never ever happened.

I have lots of 30 rnd mags and rifles to shoot them in the truck but based on my research you better be ready to end the fight with your pistol.

If at all possible this is the best course of action.
However these things can stir up at a moments notice so It pays to plan out a course of action Just in case it is needed.

when you shoot 8 of them in 2 seconds. one shot each, 80 others will run, guaranteed. Reload and go home, using cover.

I thought I was going to have to put an barred owl down a few minutes ago, but the oil pan did a decent job. Hopefully 5 shots of 38+P would have done it.

The threat, IMO has swelled lately. It should, depending where you live, congregate, or travel have you thinking of appropriate countermeasures.

Podunk Ky. requires a much different approach than St. Louis. But things can escalate where ever you are so I tend to plan for the worse.

Yes... but I am not in NYC, LV, or LA.


If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Considering the mob threat on the horizon, my priorities have definitely shifted towards magazine capacity. The idea of having 20-30 bad guys running around me and having a nice, small, comfortable gun with a 7 round mag doesn't sound fun. My carry now is an M&P commander size with 4.25" barrel and a 17+1 capacity. It's bulkier and not as light but I like having those 17 rounds in the gun along with another 34 rounds in a 2 mag belt carrier. What are you guys carrying? Has it changed with Operation Mayhem in effect? Full disclosure, I have not carried nearly as long as many people here. Just speaking my mind and looking for any advice in the new environment. Thanks in advance.


Totally agree with this perspective JB

Of all the anecdotes I have ever heard of people involved in an engagement NO ONE wished they had less capacity.

OK... proceed as you best see fit.

No pressure from me.

Someone with functioning cerebrum, good. First rule of surviving unexpected protest or riot is to join the rioters until safe exit form the crowd is possible. Correct answer is dress in manner similar to locals and carry Black Lives Matter shirt with you.

Cant tell by your vocabulary whether you are Slevek3 or Slavek4. Isn't it time for a shift change?

That is as dumb today as it was when first stated.

Seems to me if you've managed to shoot your way out of crowd of bad guys/gals and have managed to get back to your truck, why not get in your truck and haul azz outta there??

Yep. Defense versus Offence. It makes a difference, especially to jury's.

I know. I hope nobody here has that happen either. It's already been said to use what works best for you. My full length 1911 is what fits that bill for me. It's easier to shoot accurately than any other center fire I have and it's functions flawlessly. Why limit yourself to just one handgun though?

Hurry up election so we can see for sure how much ammo we need!!!!

Nothing wrong with a 1911. Have several. Along with multiple Glocks.
But if your waiting for the Election to “see how much ammo you need”, you’ve already screwed the pooch.
