I have a hard time believing that a ruger p95 malfunctioned. I've never heard of one failing to deliver it's payload. I have about 10k rounds through my p89 and it has never once failed me. I would say the more likely case is bad ammo than a bad gun.

Yes, but you probably don't hold it with a limp wrist and sideways.

If something's worth doing, it's worth doing more than once.

Three teens * eventually identified as Isaiah Reid, Jaime Hernandez, and Brandon Gresham, according to WMAZ * lost their lives when they donned masks and fired at a homeowner during an attempted robbery. While most can understand why a homeowner would return fire after a group of masked young men shot at him, relatives of the boys were quick to come forward to say *these little teens* didn*t deserve it.

According to the Rockdale County Sheriff*s office, the two 16-year-olds and a 15-year-old, wearing masks, attempted to rob three residents in the front yard of a Conyers, Georgia home at 4 am on a Monday morning. After approaching the home on White Oak Court, one of the teens brandished and fired a handgun. A resident returned fire, hitting all three suspects. None of the victims of the attempted robbery were injured, but all three teens died * one at the scene and the other two at a local hospital.
