  1. Hard wired is the only way to go. It’s more trouble for installing but worth the piece of mind. Government storage facility’s use only hardwired everything for this exact reason

  2. The 22LR winning the Gun Fight isn’t a surprise. In well over 99% percent of citizen vs citizen, untrained to marginally trained to moderately trained, in these encounters the first shot landed wins REGARDLESS OF CALIBER. These are the facts of the statistics. Why is this? Humans are very averse to suffering injury. It takes serious discipline to get shot and stay in the fight. So, whats the application?
    1. Time To Muzzle On Target is the single most important Gun Fight skill.
    2. Carry the weapon that YOU like, that YOU can hit with, that fits YOU, which YOU are comfortable with. Ignore the stupid caliber “wars”. (proximity to apex predators aside)
    3. Shot placement matters but is LESS IMPORTANT than hitting the bad guy first, anywhere.

    A trained, disciplined, and organized assailant is very rare, less than 1%. Even rarer are multiple disciplined assailants.

    Conclusion: Most Gun Fights happen at less than 7 meters. Go practice your draw, it could save your life. Start slow. Get the mechanics right. Hit the paper plate at 7 yrds every time while gradually increasing the rate at which you draw but demanding that you hit the plate every time. If you need training on drawing your weapon, get it.

  3. people have net connected cameras in their houses? are they retarded? are they from a parallel universe?? how could they be so stupid and still breath un-aided?

  4. Hmm, .22lr vs .223.40. I used to work in the packing house industry where we would use a .22 cal single shot handgun and or a single shot 22 rifle to put down sick and crippled animals. Distances ranged from a few inches to sometimes maybe 10 to 15 ft for a beef. I you knew where to aim or put the muzzle, then no problem. one shot, maybe two at the most. One time my father shot at a dog at a 1/4 of a mile to scare it, instead the dog moved the wrong way and it died 3 days later ( my Mom then asked my Dad if he was happy now, it was her favorite dog ). A retired Secret Service agent once told me that 50% of the people killed by guns in the U.S are killed with a .23lr. I worked with a few people though the yrs who bragged about using a spot light and a .22 to get deer at night. So yeah, .22’s are very dangerous and diedly

  5. Congratulations to the grand jury for finding it was self defense. One thing not mentioned in the article but seems obvious is that it is far more likely that the 22 rifle is in the truck all the time and it was simply coincidental that he had a weapon. The story by twisting words seemed to imply “he took the rife to the fight”, kind of typical for the MSM fake news. When I was young I had a .22 rifle in my truck all the time and unlike the gang youth of today shooting someone with it was the furthest thing from my mind. I might add that it seems to me based on what happened that the young man was 100% correct to dislike his girlfriend hanging out with this other family.
