Was talking to a friend the other day who is retired LE and hardcore reloader and his comment was that in 35 years of busting bad guys in SO-CAL he had never seen any reloading equipment or supplies in any suspects house during a warrant search. I think most criminal types haven't the patience to reload anything.

Well said sir, well said.

Quoted:
Criminals really don't shoot that much. Can't tell you how many guns I've recovered with three different types of ammo in them. Or revolvers with empty cases in some cylinders. Or 12 rounds in a 17 round magazine. This. Most criminals aren't supposed to have guns at all, so they are not going to be advertising the fact that they do to other more law abiding folks - like those you'd find at a shooting range. I can't see them practicing so much that one would say "You know, this is getting really expensive" or "I'm not getting the accuracy I need." |

I wonder how many big, tough, pistol packin' gangstas could field strip and clean their pistol? 50%? 20% Less? I think it would be interesting to round a bunch of gangsters, take them to a range and see them shoot. Then see if they could strip and clean their gun. Then use them as targets, errr, I mean, take them home. |
| Mostly they're just too damned stupid and undisciplined..........Most are so fogged they barely function anyway. One real good thing about it tho is that generally their reproduction level is quite low, too childhood mortality is a very real issue with that level of dirtbag...................OTH, maybe it'd be a good idea to pass on some choice handload recipes..........say 40 grains of BE in that AK for a real get the job done load! |

Are you saying they don't have long-winded animated discussions over Titegroup vs. Bullseye, "Do these primers look cratered", and which 1911 is best for a 2" group at 25 yards?
