#2 One of the funniest comments I read was about the balding officer who could keep his "booger hook off the bang switch".

#3 On the other hand, at least in Detroit, you can bring a car to a gunfight - and win.

#5 How do you survive a shot to the forehead?
Once a bullet hits bone, it takes on a path of its own, sometimes straight ahead, sometimes in a radically different direction. It is more than likely the skull was not broken, or the brain was not lacerated or penetrated, or the concussive effect of the impact did not cause a loss of brain function / seizure / loss of consciousness. Sometimes a shot to the head simply cuts a furrow in the scalp or tunnels just underneath it. Also recall that patients can have frontal lobotomies and still retain a fair amount of brain function.

#7 "upon his immediate recovery from his injuries, he exhibited a severe personality change, anti-social, unable to use logic or arithmetic, and unable to work, he became a precinct captain for the Obama campaign"

#8 Also, remember the late Dr. Michael Halberstam. He was shot at home by a jewel thief; as he was dying, he got into his car and ran over the thief as the thief tried to get way. The thief has been in prison for a while.

#12 Somebody in the Daily Mail comments said that he had one of these, and they work turned either way. Others said that guy was nuts. Anyone here have any insight?

My insight is that it shouldn't be possible to put the sight on backwards, if it will not work that way. Back to the drawing board for the manufacturer.

#13 The sight was on right.
He just needed to turn the weapon around.
