I wasn't talking about this specific case; I was speaking in general.
Nothing seems amiss here, but the attitude that it's allowable for cops to take vegenance into their own hands instead of a jury's hand is a dangerous idea and should be watched very closely. On occasion it can be subtly winked at, but it should never be condoned.

That's not meant to be critical. If I were running for my life while returning fire I'm sure my percentage of hits would be low too. Anyway, if they hit 61.8% then they were well above average.

Anybody ever notice how much trouble some cops have even unloading a perps gun on shows like cops? I watched two episodes this week where it took 3 guys to figure out how to drop the mag. from some little auto. It kind of made me wonder how much exposure to firearms other than the model which they were issued they have had. Sorry I know that this is off topic.

Unfortunately, that was pretty GOOD compared to the normal law enforcement hit to miss ratio. If I recall correctly, only 13% of the bullets that are fired by law enforcement hit their intended target (in real life situations...not at the range)...or maybe it's 17%. Whichever is correct, the percentage of hits is very, VERY low.

I also have 64 rds 9mm within 1 arms reach and 15 rds od that is in my pistol on my hip.
Then I also have 8 more loaded 5.56mm for a total of 232 rds in a bandolier.
Then if it gets real bad, I have another 12 loaded 5.56mm mags for a total of 348 rds in the office about 50 yds away. Then I have a few cans of ammo for the M4 and 9mm. If I run out, I have 2 knives. lol

Bingo.....
We're planning on building our retirement home within the next year.
Wifey is looking at floor plans of possible houses.
She commented the other night,
"If the house has a crawl space, we need to make sure we have a room with a poured concrete floor."
When I asked why, she stated, "For your gun safes"......I think I'll keep her.

Let’s see here.
Ammo can s are at the 500 round level for .45 and 300 round level for .223.
Close to 250 of 9mm
The above is within 20 steps when at home and in the house.
Have several clips of each within reach
8 boxes of 20 each of hand loaded 270
4 boxes of 20 each of hand loaded 30-06
These are at the loading bench but I think I could fight my way out and back if it came to that. My wife is fairly good at spray and pray. It would make good cover fire.

Ever here of cover-fire, so you don't die getting into a good position? It said he had already shown himself and fire upon the responding back-up officers.

I have 13 rounds of .380 FMJ in my front pockets...seven of which are in my Kel-Tec P3AT in one pocket and 6 of which are in a spare mag in the other. If I need any more than that then I'll have to drive home and get it.
