He's also a self-proclaimed minister via a mail order company, as I recall To be fair to Greg, I think it was JP that proclaimed Greg was a pastor and nicknamed him "The pastor without a shirt"

You missed my point. I don't see a lot of urban warfare ("short distances") type scenarios taking place in Scobey, Montana -- "rural" -- for example. That article reads like it was written by a...can I say it?...a...a...snowflake? eg I can hear this coming straight out of the mouth of a pyschobabble expert on MSNBC talking about Trump: "And beware especially the narcissistic toxic person. Their modus operandi includes gaining total control of a situation, and that means of you, too." OH NO!!!

Not very but I seem to remember something about Greg saying that he had not trained to become a minister and that it was just JP calling him that. Maybe somebody else remembers?

Texas, I wanted to finish this conversation, but you push me to write again. In shooting situation, there are two modes: (1) You are in a prey mode; (2) you are in a hunter mode. If you shoot someone at long distance, any judge will tell you that a situation was not dangerous for your life. He/she will consider that you would be in the hunter mode, and as a result, you will go to a jail. Long distance shooting is very rare event if, of course, you are not a police officer or you do not participate in a military operation. In contrast, short distance confrontations with using firearm are very frequent and quick. See some statistics:
Concealed carry shooting statistics from a Beretta E-book on concealed carry: 55% of gunfights take place 0-5 feet. 20% of gunfights take place in 5-10 feet. 20% of gunfights take place in 10-21 feet. (ETA) – 75% take place within 10 ft. 95% of gunfights take place in 0-21 feet. (Source- FBI) The average man can cover 21 feet of ground in 1.5 seconds. The average man cannot draw a gun from concealment in under 2 seconds. The average gunfight is over in 3-5 seconds. 3 to 4 shots are usually fired. Most gunfights take place in low light conditions. On average, one shot in four strikes someone.
So, what shooting skill do you need? Take into account that home defense is a short distance confrontation. You know home invasions are frequent events in USA. A rural area is not exclusion.

"Now, back to Lionquest..." I don't pay attention to street signs most of the time... Besides, all the bad advice dished out by Greg needs a little - - a lot of -- counterbalance. This is the shooting video AMM had a great time with... I must of missed something at which point did he run with the gun? Also why was he breathing so heavy? I think he needs to workout properly and get fit.

You have never shot wax bullets from a semi auto, have you, really? In fact, you've never actually shot wax bullets from any firearm, right? I think you're just making shit up to have something to post.

Statistics and studies that have nothing to do with the subject, just to boost their claims? I already thought that was the Blowtwat way?

You know home invasions are frequent events in USA. A rural area is not exclusion. Ok, lets put those stats from Beretta in proper perspective: 1. I did some very quick searches and the highest percentage of those numbers are associated with shootings that take place in urban settings. 2. A more realistic consideration, your chances of dying of a heart attack vs. being shot are 133 times greater. The concealed stuff and timing or shootings in low light...? I'd say the vast majority of people should worry more about the previously mentioned heart attack or cancers, Type II diabetes or a car wreck vs. a shooting unless you're living in Chicago. "Take into account that home defense is a short distance confrontation. You know home invasions are frequent events in USA." So my buddy Mr. Mossberg is your best bet and smarter solution than a silly little pistol. And your numbers back my position: 25% of shots fired hit their target. I'd bet that number is lower. The Mossberg isn't missing especially at the distances you're concerned about.

Most of the sites I looked at either said you can either shoot single shot, or, wax bullets are not recommended for most weapons.

Wax Bullets? A wax bullet is a bullet made of wax, often paraffin wax or some mixture of waxes and other substances that produce the desired consistency. Wax bullets are typically used in a primed cartridge case, with no gunpowder. The primer provides all the necessary power to propel the wax bullet at low velocities. Wax bullets have been in use for over a century, providing a projectile for use in training, indoor shooting, and shooting competitions where a high velocity metal bullet would be needlessly hazardous. Wax bullet cartridges do not provide enough force to cycle automatic firearms, so they are most commonly used in revolvers and other manually cycled firearms. Specially designed cartridges and conversion units can be combined to convert automatic firearms into wax bullet firing guns, and these are used for training police and military. In the past, wax bullets were used by illusionists for illusions involving firearms, such as the Bullet Catch. This practice goes back at least as far as Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin, who used hollow wax bullets colored to resemble lead balls. When placed on a charge of gunpowder, the wax bullet would disintegrate upon firing Plastic Bullets? The US military uses 5.56 mm non-lethal marking rounds in training. The bullet has two primers. The forward primer propels a wax-filled projectile that marks with colored wax upon contact. The wax washes out with normal laundry procedures. Simunitions (for "simulated munitions") are special cartridges that fire colored paint-filled plastic projectiles which are used to mark targets much like paintballs. Simunitions are designed to cycle the actions in specially modified semiautomatic rifles and handguns. The paint-filled plastic projectiles are more durable and accurate than paintballs, and it is safe to be shot by them when wearing protective clothing. Simunitions are used by police and military forces for realistic training. Unlike normal wax bullets, simunitions are not an inexpensive substitute for live ammunition — costs for simunitions cartridges are as much as three times the cost of live ammunition. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wax_bullet
