What to do in a gun fight

[flowerchic]

I read somewhere (probably Yahoo; yeah I know) anyway...I read that in Sweden men are by law to carry a gun until the age of 30, so if the country is invaded they can defend themselves and in turn the country. Sounds like a good idea to me, women I guess can be given the option....guess what my option is? Click click boom boom

Running and hiding is not what my 6 uncles taught me to do.... that was not one of the options they gave me...LOL!!!

I hear Sweden's laws have recently changed but it was mandatory military service with a military grade weapon an backpack full of ammo at there homes. Now they have there weapon but have to keep the ammo at the range. There was something about semi-auto conversion being done to there weapon after being discharged from the military.

Regarding the cartels getting those fifties... I seem to recall seeing a photo of some Fast & Furious guns, consisting of a crapload of AK-47s, several bolt action rifles, a freaking grenade launcher, and what appeared to be a .50 cal. So, odds are, at least some of those big guns are provided courtesy of the U.S. government. BTW, my understanding is that the Bush administration carried out a similar operation, so this problem has been there for a while.

Don't Border Patrol agents carry AR-15s while patrolling? If so, the proper response to a machine gun would be to run, then shoot the gunner from cover. Those big guns can't be easy to aim, and their ammo capacity is limited (250 rounds, I think), so it'll burn up pretty fast. An actual rifleman should be able to remove a single machine gunner without too much trouble.

Then again, it wouldn't shock me if our government in its wisdom decided not to provide agents with proper weapons. Quite frankly, it's insulting that the government treats its citizens and its own agents this way.

Fun fact: according to our superiors, we're supposed to just give a burglar/home invader whatever he wants, that way we don't get hurt. You heard that right: the proper responce to a violent break-in is to surrender. I, personally, am more inclined to give him a load of buckshot (or bullets from whatever gun is handy at the moment).

Under Bush the Mexican police were in on it and arrested them on their side of the border so no guns stayed in the cartels hands. But the program wasn't getting the big fish so it was stopped under Bush.
Now when Holder came along it was decided to not tell the Mexican police anything and see what happened. Well they lost over 2000 guns to the cartels. I wonder if they said thank you ?

Sweden? I didn't know you were even allowed to own guns over there.

Now, in Switzerland, it's mandatory military service, along with mandatory firearm ownership. They also have a plan to blow up every bridge in the country within 24 hours of a declaration of war. I pity the poor fool who tries to invade that country.
