BBI, what are your classes people in this thread keep mentioning? I'm in Indy too.
Heya BBI,
Total anecdote here, but it seems like I've noticed more coverage in Indy where the camera zooms in on a casing on the ground. More often, now, it seems like it is a rifle cartridge.
Is there an uptick in the prevalence of rifles in the violence? And does that modality have any impact (pardon the pun) on the self defense stats?
Thx.
Anecdotally, yes. Rifles and the "pistol-rifle" things. However the crimes they are being used in are not part of my stats as they are not random.

Did you ever break down what ammo used the incidents you track?
If so did it make a notable difference?
That is an outstanding post! You've gotta be close to 50 soon....
upon review he has 2 to go until his "Quality" 50
I long for the day I'm that close....
Thanks for the info BBI looks like it’s going to be a record year in your line of work !
I had a old timer Deputy that carried a S&W M29 6 inch tell me that the blast scared most people into giving up !
He also said nickel plated pistols seemed to intimidate bad guys more?
One of my favorite backgrounds:I've never tracked finishes. I wonder how Sig Rainbow Bright does? I will tell you that people staring down the barrel of a revolver can often remember what color and type the bullets were in the cylinder.
Anecdotally, I think the blast does matter, but like I said I can't prove it. And, of course, blast works both ways and hearing loss/tinnitus isn't much fun.
