I like the way this Ohio prosecutor thinks.

".....As I have said before and I want to be very clear, if you take a gun into a store in order to rob it, you have forfeited your right not to be shot." Cicncinatti,Oh area Prosecutor Joe Deters.
Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters announced Thursday afternoon that the July 29 shooting of Anton Kirby by a convenience store clerk was "justified."

Jeremy Donohue, who struck the 18-year-old with four shots from a .380 revolver, will not face charges, Deter said.

Kirby, 18, entered Harrison Food Mart just after 11 p.m. on July 29 wearing blue latex gloves and wielding a handgun, according to official documents. He demanded that Donohue empty the cash register and Donohue complied, according to the prosecutor's office.

Kirby then ordered Donohue to the manager's office to empty the safe, which Donohue was not able to do. After Kirby led Donohue back to the counter, the clerk retrieved his handgun from his waistband and fired, Deters said. Donohue is a concealed carry permit holder in Hamilton County.

Kirby later died as a result of the shooting on Aug. 1.
Yes, the reporter did print "revolver". :roll:

BTW - Ohio has a tort law such that if a person is injured or killed during a felony or an act that would have resulted in a felony conviction if they had lived, NO ONE can sue the person or business that was responsible for the damage/death. That law was passed and signed without any pro-gun people even noticing it until after the fact.
See: http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/2307.60
(2) Recovery on a claim for relief in a tort action is barred to any person or the person's legal representative if any of the following apply:
and the following paragraphs.

Granted,it's not "Stand Your Ground" (Ohio gun owners are still trying to get that) but it sure takes the worry out of being sued into the poor house after a good shoot.

They exist. I guess the moon clips would make reloading a little quicker (saying, in effect, that I am ignorant of the product).

My sister has a .380 revolver. I was surprised to find that it existed, too.

I've got an old Colt .45ACP revolver, too. I think they put out some of them because they couldn't make enough 1911s during WWI and wanted to keep the ammo standardized.

What is that, the M1917? I have fired the S&W version. In fact, that was why I looked up the .380 revolver. If it can be done, good idea or not, someone will eventually attempt it.

Must be. I haven't looked at it in a coon's age, but my list says "Colt D.A. 45 U.S. Army Model 1917". Those half-moon clips are pretty much a pain in the @ss.

Heh! Do a search on "Medusa revolver" sometime, for a good "well, it can be done", example!

I guess I should have said M1917 revolver, as there is a rifle and machine gun with similar designation.
