Dumb Glock Sucker?

I watched “Grand Turino” the other night. It made me wonder whether the confidence I have from owning and carrying a .40 Glock with a laser sight is a mistake?   Even if you accept the double-tap philosophy?



The little red dot, instead of staying right on target, wanders around like a frighted housefly when I aim it at more than about ten yards. Would the bad guy see the light and run? Or would he laugh like hell and kick my ass?



I have an old double barrel my Dad gave me as a kid that I was thinking about trading for a short barrel, 12 gauge pump with double-aught buckshot in it. But I can’t tuck that into my waistband or carry it in a small case next to me in the car.

So what about trading that Glock for a Scorpion Vz 61 Machine Pistol or a Micro Uzi http://www.dreadgazebo.com/gunporn/?p=96#comments .



Can I afford it? How will it carry? Good excuse to go to Buck’s gunshop or a local gun show and research it before guns are outlawed via HealthCare legislation... I don’t want to be my headline.

As I'm sure that headline would gain front page placement ... we'd all be onto another exciting story by the next day.
