Yet another way to steal your car

8) Frank Hudon,

True, but not all handguns have safeties though.

so you carry your wheelgun hammer down on an empty chamber

Daniel you are priceless!

:lol:

 

Not only do revolvers not have safeties, Glocks do not and neither do many of the new thin generation of pocket pistols, the Double Action only ones, which are modern revolver like in that they cock the shrouded or hidden hammer and let it fall, discharging the gun. Glock's have a trigger in a trigger set up, which they claim is a safety, but it isn't. Some Florida PD uniformed officer was getting out of his patrol car before entering a public school (the city requires all law enforcement to be disarmed, as well as the disarmed potential victims inside, which makes that a perfect killing ground), he left the Glock on the seat, and shot himself in the arse with it.

Apparently he caught the trigger on something when he was getting out and was tugging on the trigger.

Glock's are well known for AD's as well (accidential discharge). Many owners get lowered trigger pulls, buff the parts internally and create a near hair trigger on a semi-automatice handgun with no safety on it.

And legally you can't defend only property in America with deadly force, but that is slowly changing. In Louisiania it is now law that a person can kill any would be carjacker with total immunity from prosocution.

 

8) Robert Taylor,

You are correct that in Louisiana you can use deadly force to protect your house, car and what is called cartilage. Your car is like your house. Oh by the way, H&K also has a nice 40 cal. sub-compact made for LEO’s that has no safety and is a sweet to shoot.

H&K makes great stuff, I have an over/under in 12 gauge made by the Fabarms Italian subsidiary. It is a very nice gun, ajustable comb and drop, comes with eight chokes and a nifty case in leather for the whole works. Retails for a little under 2K.

H&K donates some stuff to the Friends of the NRA event in Columbus Georgia every year, they have a facility in the area.

One woman in Louisiana shot a would be car jacker to death before that law was passed, the DA declined to prosocute her for it. At the time I was subscribing to The Economist and they did a tut tutting piece about it.

But I do not see much opportunity for retreat when the armed robber comes for your life and your ride.

 

IsrAmeriPrius: Thanks for pointing that out... thought for a minute it was legal to shoot someone only in the outer ear.

 

8) IsrAmeriPrius,

Shalom, next time I will attempt to proofread my post a little better, prior to posting them.

I like my idea better.

"If you can read this, a picture of your face is already on the Internet."

Or something. I don't know if that would scare potential car thieves more or less than it would disturb normal people who are just curious about the car.

most can't even read. For car jackers people need the unit they use in South Africa. Pressurized gasoline is sprayed and ignited up at an angle and onto the jacker from under the rocker panel. The news reports since people started getting the system installed say car jacking is down over 45%. I wonder why? But you still have your life and your car and the jacker has some burns to attend to. Golley life sucks if you can't rip people off without getting hurt.

 

I don't know about you, but if I had that anti-theft flamethrower, I'd be paranoid about it accidentally going off when I was getting in the car.

 

red panic button on dash or front of console, car off flame thrower off, if driver window down flame thrower off (for drive thru service), if driver door open flame thower off. Doors locked, ignition on, transmission in gear, windows up, flame thrower switch powered, just hit it and burn baby burn.

 

Until the mechanism goes haywire and sets itself off. I'm not aware of a gadget that doesn't sometimes malfunction.
