I wouldn't shoot one 1 handed with my right hand now but I would still do it with my left. My left arm/hand have always been much more powerful than my right anyway. I suspect it would be easy left handed. I just never tried it.

LOL @ the reporter in the story for highlighting the caliber of the pistol...


50 cal is really not practical for civilian use really in any capacity.

Every gun n00b goes through the "bigger is better" phase of gun ownership whether it's the 454 casull, the 44 mag, the 50 AE, the 0.50 S&W, the 50 BMG, it doesn't matter. I went through that stage as well when I was first getting into guns, in fact I went through it TWICE.

I wanted a LAR Grizzly 50 AE semi auto pistol in the worst way... then I shot a few 1911s and glock 45s and a few 44 mag revolvers and realized that a 50 was just a dumb idea for a handgun...

Later when I really got into rifle shooting, I was bound and determined to get a 50 BMG rifle - one of the big Armalites or Barrets - for thousand yard shooting - never mind the fact that the nearest thousand yard range was a 4 hour drive from me at the time. In fact, I was ->||<- close to buying a Barret one day and instead of dropping the $5k on the whole package I told the gun store owner that I wanted to sleep on it. Thank God I slept on it and thought better of the whole thing in the morning, instead of dropping the $5k for a rifle that would be largely a novelty item. I bought a sweet gently used shotgun instead the next day for about 1/10th the price lol! Hell, the reloading dies for 50 BMG are stupidly expensive, upwards of $600 new... wtf?!


Anyway, yeah, good on this guy for stopping the perp and shooting into the ground. The choice of weapon was made for the man by the robber (gun n00b) after all, and it serves him (the robber) right.

It wasn't luck, the individual understood the power of the gun and a safe display of its power in front of the criminal achieved the desired effect with no loss of life .

LOL OK. But before you say more how bout you come and arm wrestle my left handed? And back in the 80's I did it on the pro circuit.

1) He was running away, the threat was gone. You are then the the assailant if you shoot him.
2) Had he not run and/or attacked... there is no safe display or use of that gun in a neighborhood, he would have done more damage than good. The guy was an idiot for bringing that out<.>


I fail to see anything safe in that display.


Go try it and report back.

Sadly cracka is right. I think you should still have the right to shoot them. If criminals knew you could shoot them while running away after trying to rob you they would be a lot less likely to rob you. And if they did they would thin themselves out.

what a robery might look like?

1) Regulator has never heard of a warning shot before ..... he must live a sheltered life
