I would have shot them with my SigPro P2022 9mm 15 shots in one magazine and 17 shots in the other. Its only a 9mm but I think those two dicks would be toast after about 2 or 3 shots.

davsny1, I have always preferred the .45ACp over the (mm but with the improvements in bullet technology the 9 MM makes a lot of sense. I have many different guns in different calibers but after all these years of caring a .45ACP round it has become a habit with me. The average gunfight lasts a few seconds and only 3 to 4 rounds are usually needed, but I like to carry four spare magazines. It is better to have more than you need instead of needing more rounds and not having any.

By the way, the SigPro P2022 is an excellent choice, but If I was going to get a Sig it would be a P226

Since 1950 all but two mass shootings happened in gun free zones, notice a pattern?

The 1911 was developed a century ago because standard sidearms at the time didn't stop berserkers during the Spanish-American War. It's about the mass of the round, the force of the propellant, and the ineertia this enables the slug to impart to the target.

While I understand the sentiment behind replacing the 1911, I never quite understood the ignorance of history that led to going to 9mm.

I woulda crushed in their skulls with the cinder block on a chain ...that I usually swing in a giant circle above my head, repeatedly, all day, every day, until I go to sleep. Then I sleep in a booby trapped spring loaded escape hammock ....which launches me safely into the night's sky if danger approaches. Hopefully my on-call chopper pilot shows up in time to make "the grab."

Maybe you have an imaginary cinder block on a chain, but I really do carry a 1911 with me where ever I go. I have been carrying a handgun for over 45 years, but now that we have all these terrorist attacks going on it is more important now to have a means to protect ourselves than it has ever been

That's really too much. What you should do is Cobra exercises. What this entails is having your 2 favorite axes, or edged weapons, and you clang them over your head repeatedly for hours on end with psychotic pals and discuss the new world order.
This exercise regimen brought to you by Marion Cobrettis enemies.

I know for a fact that I wold come out on top. About 10 years ago I had a house in Texas and a house in New York. I flew to NY to spend Thanksgiving with my Family. When I got home I noticed something was wrong (I always turn off the lights when I go away and the house was lit up) so I went to my gun safe and got out a shotgun. I normally carry a handgun wherever I go but flying on a plane with a gun is difficult so I kept some of my guns in my house in Texas and some in a safe in my NY house. The guy that broke into my house while I was away had been living in my house for a few days. He was younger and in better shape than I was. I probably would have been killed if I did not have a gun. Fortunately as soon as I pointed the gun at him he ran. When the cops caught him they checked his rap sheet and discovered the guy had a long history of violent behavior. I am a retired cop and I am old and out of shape, the younger guy could have grabbed a knife from the kitchen and killed me. Ever since that happened I avoid traveling on planes, and if I do get on a plane I go thru the trouble of filling out the paperwork that allows me to fly with my gun stored in the baggage compartment o at least I will have a gun when I get off the plane.

PS After that I sold both houses and moved to South Carolina.

So...I guess you missed the part where they can control time/reality?

Maybe in another horror film you'd have a shot, not this one.

I am a retired cop

Just went from bad to worse.

No wonder why I can't trust you with a gun.
And if I was black, no doubt I'd be dead by now if you saw me.

Damn I'm good.

You are the one that is spewing hateful comments, not me.
I worked as a cop for twenty years and never shot anyone but I have saved more lives (black and white) than I can count and most likely more lives than you have ever saved.

Carrying a gun is a huge responsibility and I do everything I can to avoid a confrontation. When I was a cop I saw terrible things happen to good people that were not able to defend themselves, some people choose to live their lives in denial not believing anything bad will ever happen to them. But after 20 years as a cop I have come tothat each of us are responsible for our own safety

I will be 70 years old in a few weeks and I and too old and weak to fight a young attacker and I am too slow to run. I happened to be in my early 60s when the person that broke into my house who happened to be a young black man. I would have been I would have been legally justified in shooting him but fortunately when he saw the gun he back off and retreated. What I learned after he was arrested and they did a record check his "rap sheet" showed that the had a long history of arrests for violent crimes that put people and the officers that arrested him in the hospital. If this guyed no qualms about fighting young strong cops and putting them in the hospital what would he do to a 60 year old man?

I will always retreat when possible but if there is no other option I will protect myself using what ever options I have at hand.

I never attacked you personally nor did I I say anything derogatory toward yo so if you continue to to attack me I will do what I usually do when someone is confrontational, and the is avoiding all contact.

It is your choice, we cane polite to each other or I will just not respond to any further attacks and ignore you which is what I do in my normal life.

By the way many people are under the false impression that the police will protect them, fey even believe that the police are required to help them and they are required to do so under law.

The police are not required to protect you under the law. I am not saying the police will not do their best to protect you but they can not be everywhere so if a person is not comfortable around guns they need to consider other was to protect themselves.

Here is a link to a supreme court ruling stating the police are not required to protect them

Those who carry guns are nothing but paranoid cowards which this thread proves.
It also shows that you really are just aching to shoot someone.
You are nothing but a gun nut who cannot be trusted with a gun.
You seem like the type that would shoot me if I accidentally bumped into you or if you think I just looked at you wrong.

Damn I'm good.

Well, to be fair...the family had no idea what kind of trouble was heading their way. The entire situation was totally unpredictable and random. It's not like the killers entered the home abruptly. Their devious plans deceptively and gradually unfolded. Unless the dad would've been locked and loaded the entire time...there was just no suffice way to prepare for something like that...besides fighting back (physically - martial arts style), which the dad didn't seem like he was in any position to do. He made the number one mistake. He turned his back on an unknown sketchy individual holding a golf club. An individual who he just smacked across the face by the way. That was really stupid on his part. He should've never of turned his back. Once the killers broke his leg...all bets were off. The wife wasn't mentally strong enough to fight back. She was simply too terrified to retaliate. And plus, it was basically two against one. The son didn't stand a chance.

But I agree, a gun would've came in handy. For example; when Ann went to the kitchen to get a glass of water and aspirin (if there would've been a simple handgun somewhere in the kitchen), bang-bang! The "Funny Games" would've been over. Or if there was a loaded firearm somewhere in the house, their son Georgie could've used it on the killers when he escaped. There were so many moments throughout the film that a gun could've been used. The family just wasn't prepared. But then again, the family was staying out at their lake house, expecting to have a relaxing time. Who expects to get murdered at their lake house? The entire situation was just odd.
