Good point Parnell, and if I'm ever confronted by a badguy who asks me what my forum name on Policemag.com is, I'll be sure to tell him something else...

Hey, if you get hit with a 124gr Gold Dot, a Wincester .45, a Hornady 155gr, or any other type of bullet....you're gonna feel it. Maybe not for long, but for a few seconds anyways...
