Just wanted to say that i had a good OC at the liquor store on 21st south. I walked in and it was very busy and i noticed an officer standing guard by the door, and i went about my business without a word from anyone or from the officer. Better than the OC at Smiths.

As a Followup for the whole Smiths incident, i went in a week later and what do you know?? Our favorite "security guard" Michael Moss was there doing his...job i guess that's what they call standing around all day long. While there i walked past him a few times of course OC, and he didn't say a word :lol:

As a question though, what is everyone's opinion about loading a rubber bullet for the first round in your firearm? I have heard that it will aid you in the case that someone attempts to attack you as its almost a warning shot. Just wanted to get some info on it.

Thanks all!

Yeah, there are no such thing as warning shots. You should offer a verbal warning if possible, but I think rubber bullets, buck shot, etc are bad ideas.

Are you saying rubber buckshot or are you saying rubber bullets AND Buckshot are equally ineffective? Cause i just got me some 3 inch OO Buck... and that stuff is NASTY.

I'm SURE you meant rubberized buck, and in that case, +1.

No, I meant those pathetic snake shot bullets you can buy for revolvers and auto-loaders.

Of course 3" 00 is going to work, it's just hard to carry around town :)

Rubber or lead you still need a concealed permit to carry a bullet in the firing position. That's the way I read it.
