Chandler Police Detective Seth Tyler was unsure of the type of gun, or whether it had a safety that was off. He also says it's unclear if Seto has been released from the hospital or suffered any permanent damage. He also indicated that Ms. Christopher is now looking for a new boyfriend

It sounds like the damage was extensive.......

...he's a Yankee??? or do you just mean from NORTH Dallas???

I'm a native Texan by temperament and loyalty.

I just wasn't born here, but got here as soon as I could and I'm doing my best to come up to speed on the lingo.

I thought I was doing pretty well gettin' along too - that is, until Greybeard ratted me out.....

Glad to help.

As you can see, I'm still learning too.....

You started your post without scrolling all the way to the bottom past my message and put your message inside the close quote html tag that marks the end of the post you're replying to. That made your message look like it was part of mine.

I fixed it fer ya.

...ok, so now I just stole your last line...that's OK, it classes up my post a bit...

Aargh!

It did that because it read the sample html tag I used to show you what happened, even though it was inside the parentheses.

I had to take that out to make it format properly.

Anyway, you get the idea.

The movies and TV shows, like Sons of Anarchy, that show tough guys with guns shoved into their jeans are not realistic, Chandler Police Detective Seth Tyler said Sunday. The cops and robbers of the silver screen most likely use rubber weapons, which weigh far less than the real things, Tyler said.

So, my question for those of you who frequently run into the thugs on the street (ie - you were/are cops, narcs, etc.) - are most of the handguns that you see/run into carried in the waistband (ie - Mexican carry)? Or are the thugs using a holster? Just curious. Had a conversation with a buddy that is an ex narc, said he had to carry "Mexican style" when he was undercover, otherwise using a holster would be a dead give away that he was under cover, this was from awhile back (he did NOT like carrying that way). Wondered if things have changed.

In my experience, the rule of thumb is that someone with a gun in a holster is 90% likely to be a good guy, and someone with a gun carried in the waistband is 90% likely to be a bad guy.

Nothing is 100%, but this provided a useful starting point for dealing with folks when their carry method was known.

Apparently this gentleman thought that what happened to Plaxico Burress when he tried the same thing wouldn't also happen to him.

Those who fail to learn from the mistakes of others are doomed to repeat them, usually with similar results.
