You laugh, but State surveyors have started carrying .45 Glocks. And
one of the local engineering firms have their surveyors carry 9mm
Glocks when they are working in the woods.

Nothing to do with mountain lions though. :)

They think they are going to stop a mountain lion in any meaningful
manner with a 9mm?


Maybe they view 9mm in the same way as some police departments: Shoot many,
many rounds, miss with most, hope the noise gets the target under control.




Most of the cops I see at the range are really *lousy* shots, no matter
what they are shooting. I suppose that's why it takes so many of them to
kill with 41 shots some poor immigrant they catch in an apartment
building foyer doing nothing more deadly than pulling out his wallet and
ID. But, hey, if they completely miss with their guns, they can always
take him back to the stationhouse and shove a broomstick up his butt.
