what do you give to a cop to make him all warm and fuzzy? no, not a king size fonzy "teddy bear."
you give him a full auto ar-16 w/ a 12 inch barrel, fully suppressed, that's what. slightly more expensive than a good phone to an inner city fat lady, but, it serves the same place.
word has it that the walla walla, washington police department has taken delivery on a bunch of such weapons, and that they are training with them now, and that the suppressors are "coming in the mail."
now, understand, these are full auto weapons, ... , pull the weapon, and they expend ammunition at the rate of about 8 or 9 rounds of ammunition per second. give them a 30 round magazine, and that is about a 3 second burst.
now these are the sorts of weapons that you or i cannot obtain.
and, who knows, maybe they come equipped with surefire's 60 or 100 round magazines.
in short, the obama administration is spreading these types of weapons around to local police agencies. the federal government is giving local police agencies weapons that you cannot have.
these are what are called in the trade, "entry guns." they are made for making forced entries into residential dwellings. on the end of the barrel they will have a flash suppressor/muzzle brake device with sharp triangular steel prongs, for sticking into the chest of a recalcitrant "suspect," or for jamming into wood and such, to direct a short burst of rounds into it, to fracture it structurally.
they will come equipped with all sorts of attachments for the picatinny sight rails, to include flashlight putting out 120 lumens, which will temporarily blind you if you catch the beam in the eyes. it will also light you up like a christmas tree, in case they wish to make you into a live fire target. the rails also accept laser sights, for night operations.
now, if you are going to defend yourself, and one of these guys lumbers into you house, don't waste time shooting to the chest, because he will also be wearing a steel plate in his vest to defend against such a shot. aim to his visor, or his hips, or his groin or legs. shoot him multiple times once you disable him, to prevent him from shooting you from the ground.
the best ammo in such a scenario is a 62 grain "green tip" armor penetrating round for the 5.56x45mm nato cartridge, if that is what you are using. shoot him thoroughly, forget about him, and take the next one coming through the door.
yes, this is disturbing.
what it means is this.
we have to ask the local police who they serve, the obama administration or the constitution. and, we have to ask them, will they attack us.
if they answer yes, or even if they answer no in a fashion that is equivocal or evasive or not very damned convincing, then we move immediately from the defensive to an offensive posture. we take them out, and they are the first targets. it's just gotta be.
the sad part is, the fat donut loving idiots don't understand that they are being chumped. what the obama administration has done, through justice department grants like this, is to make these guys the tip of the spear, for the initial apprehensions of "suspect" persons that they have in mind.
their federal minders will direct them to attack us, and then stand comfortably back in "command position," well out of range and direction of any fire these idiots may take in serving obama. the f.b.i. agent in walla walla is not going to die on my front porch, should they decide to attack me, but one or more walla walla, washington police officers will, if they do not catch me by surprise.
in this instance, these weapons are designed to kill, and that is their only purpose. they are designed to kill me, and you, at very close quarters as these local thugs and goons, and that is the police if they do obama's bidding, break and enter without notice into our homes.
simple as that.

p.s. you think this flop eared idiot isn't a full fledged tyrant? think again.
now, what this means, if that you determine to resist the illegal seizure of the arms we own, and which we have the constitutionally protected right to bear, then you must do so with some skill and presence of mind.--
shoot for the visor, e.g., shoot your attacker, the man who violates you home, right in the face. a 12 gauge shotgun would be very good for this. take out the hips or knees. and, if the police officer turns side ways to you, shoot him on the point of the shoulders so that the bullet hits the chest right in the arm pits, and takes out the major arteries.
Wonder if those "entry weapons" will use .40s? Would explain all the ammo they've been buying up.

The aim-points for your 12 Ga are good ones. Better to go to the lower one. Why you ask? If there are any pellets that pass through or pass by the initial target, they are in line and low enough to strike follow-on targets. You are right about the 62 grain penetrators, they will dig their way through body armor if fired into the same area one after another. My opinion is that the shotgun is more effective in close quarters than the carbine or smg (even in the hands of trained operators). A word to the wise, don't wait for them to come begin engagement through the door or window before they enter - you will get more rounds off before being engaged.
By the way, has Milton been annexed by Walla Walla or WA?
More comments later.

A side comment: I believe that much of what we are hearing from the press is a large part of the diss-information campaign. It is as much as trowing crap up against the wall to see what sticks as it is the actual plan of attack on the Second Ammendment. Your thoughts?

redwulf:
the .40 s&w is a pistol round, and a very potent one.
it is quite popular in law enforcement, more powerful than the 9's and not so hard on the shooter as the .45 acp full house load.
entry teams quite likely would be armed with them, but, as side arms.

the press is an administration/leftist psy ops operation, and nothing more.
designed to intimidate and coerce. the press enjoys no immunity for their actions, they are committed leftist operatives, and nothing more.
the good thing for the left, is that the press is peopled by those who aren't smart enough to understand how they are being used.
useful idiots, in other words.
good advice on the use of weapons if attacked. the only bad thing about a shotgun is limited ammo stores on board the weapon. but, what you hit, is gonna feel it. for a bit.
as to m-f and walla squared. walla walla sits above the border about 3 miles, m-f below it about 4 miles. lots of "cross fertilization" goes on between them, and what you hear on one side of the border is what you hear on the other.
milton freewater is about 4250 in population, walla walla/college place about 35,000 or so.
they always pasted us in football, but, when i was in high school, we beat them in wrestling, track and baseball, on occassion.
mac-hi pioneers, the wa-hi blue devils.
oh, yeah. laughing.

Was just wondering why WW police would be invading another town of another state.
Consider, granted the shotgun has limited capacity compared to the AR. But what it lacks in capacity, it makes up in graphic terror impact. Typically, if the first two or three members of an FE team go down, the remainder pull back to re group. Case in point, the ATF thirty-man entry team that tried to take down Koresh in Waco. They were not successful as the "legends in their own minds" had envisioned. In fact they failed miserably, and if it were not for the humanity of the Davidians, the whole platoon would have been killed. They ran out of ammo because of little or no fire discipline and quickly sued for truce to gather their dead and wounded to withdraw and wait for reinforcements.
For a single target, the size will be limited to a team (5-7 men) and usually accompanied with a perimeter cover. So when they show up on your front pourch, the team is the initial group with which to deal; the others will be in an overwatch position. A shotgun with a magazine tube extension will do nicely to undo the best laid plans and buy ample time to switch to a carbine and reload the shotgun. The next phase is usually a negotiation phase while secondary attack or siege plans are re visited. However, in the unlikely event that the second assault is initiated with riddling the house, have a place to get small in. Like you say, some of us are destined to become martyrs and urban legends for the cause. Your thoughts?

i have the walla walla police in oregon because i am an idiot. simple as that.
yes, there are some jurisdictional niceties to be observed, even in this day and age.
as to the rest of your article, you do a service to my readers and me w/ regard to the tactical considerations involved in storming a house.
these are good things for all to know. i've been looking around my house for a "get small & hunker spot," and i am afraid i have no likely places.
they'll just have to come down the basement stairs and get me. just like an old bear in a cave.
john
p.s. as to the shotgun in the house, i don't favor OO buck. for the distances involved, i think no. 1 or no. 2 shot will work just fine, and actually has a little more wallop to it.
and, no reason getting magnum shells. just normal 2 3/4" stuff will work fine. pretty devastating at close range.

if someone comes to your house and all they are armed with are .40's, it has been your lucky day.
but, i doubt anyone anticipating even the possibility of a gun fight is gonna be armed w/ a .40 s & w as his primary arm.
just not very likely.
they use the .40's for "practice," and as a "pre-game psych up", and not for the real stuff.
just like fighting knives, lasers and fighting flashlights it's all lipstick on a whore. just advertisement.

the saiga shotgun in it's best conversion with the 12 shot stick mag or 20 shot drum would seem to fill the bill nicely in the above tactical scenario. I have a nice sure fire scout light on mine ready to go. It is a very useful force multiplier

Another thing to remember is a gallon zip lock bag full of marbles full of vaseline. if the tac team comes a calling dump the vaseline coated marbles on the floor and wait for the tac team to stack themsleves on the floor. A simple flare pistol would solve the rest.
Posted by: Bret | January 11, 2013 at 07:39 PM
bret:
let me ask a very stupid question, if i may.--
does vaseline burn? if so, how vigorously? and, if i do this in my house, or on my porch, do i burn my house down, around me? (a highly undesirable situation, from my point of view.)
but, i am intrigued by this, to say the least.
tell me, do you have more things along this line?
john jay
p.s. how much vaseline?
Posted by: john jay | January 11, 2013 at 09:00 PM
bret:
the only saiga shotgun i ever saw being fired was pretty impressive, but jammed on the second to last shell in the magazine.
i don't say this to condemn the gun, only to report what i saw.
is this something that pops up in the literature/use, or is this not heard of very often.
i really don't know much about them.

I think it would be WAY more successful to shoot them from the back as they are entering your neighbor's home.
I'm sure they will become easily identifiable as a raid team once they start.
So when you see a raid team on the move it would better tactics to be prepared already to shoot them from behind.
If enough people were like this they couldn't get anything done.
They very well may rethink that oath they are breaking.
Roadblocks to take your weapons would have to be treated the same way. Shoot them from a distance before you get there.

I doubt most of my neighbors have much resolve. Most are from Mexico and half of those hardly speak english. Many may even think confiscation is a good idea, yet I know they all have guns so I guess we'll see what happens.
Regardless, if SHTF I won't be staying at my house to find out.
As to my suggestions, I'm convinced if enough people played like this it would be effective.
A bumper sticker declaring:
"Oath-breakers are fair game" may make a difference too. In a 'getting the word out kinda' way.
