#1 Without even sending it to them, I think I know what the Lakewood, WA police force would think of this bill. Maybe the NY idiot should check out reality; we had 7 LE's killed or wounded in the past few months by perps that were packin'.

#2 A law like this could only be written by someone who has never fired a gun in their life.

#3 Just shoot to graze the skull. That way the targeted perp is only knocked out. Just like in the movies.

#4 Shouldn't that be 'Perps that were packing illegally USN?

Your in a gunfight and you are supposed to stop and take careful aim at the guy's arm?

#5 OBVIOUSLY,
two A-holes that have never shot a pistol before.

That would be kind of cool to have ace marksman, shoot from the hip lawmen, like from the cowboy movies. Like for someone smoking in a restaurant, they could shoot the cherry off the end of the cigarette. Maybe we could require that they be masters of the bullwhip also, so they could do kewl Indiana Jones whip tricks and not even need a gun.

#7 CF: Yes and thanks for finishing my thought.
My son is a Lakewood city att'y and was friends with the four that were gunned down. He is still having bad days from that; on the plus side, he is no longer in the plea-deal mode.
