Back on July 1st, 2009 a 30-year-old man distraught over a divorce was booked on suspicion of murder after he walked into a Simi Valley, CA dental office and allegedly shot and killed his wife and wounded three others.
Jamie Peredes allegedly walked into the office and began firing an SKS semiautomatic assault rifle.
SKS ASSAULT rifle? Wow I didn’t know they made those with select fire
One of the other ladies that was working there (Lydia Carranza) managed to survive a gunshot to the chest. According to the recent story on NBC L.A. the bullet entered her breast and deflated the implant. The bullet fragments were millimeters away from her heart and her vital organs.
According to Wikipedia, Breast implants are either filled with saline or silicon gel. Although it sounds unbelievable that a sack full of a liquid similar to water could stop a 7.62×39mm round, if you have ever shot at bottles of water you know how it can slow down a bullet, and destroy the integrity of it.
I believe this a lot more than the bullet proof fat story from a few days ago. If the gunman indeed carried out the shooting with an SKS, Due to the high energy of the round, I would imagine that Lydia Carranza was either quite a distance away from the shooter, or even got hit due to a ricochet or another indirect method. It seems improbable that she would have lived if it was a direct hit at close range. Who knows though… stranger things have happened.
I am posting about this because it is self defense related. Oakland California February 15, 2010 – 67 year old Thomas Bruso did everything possible to avoid confrontation, but still ended up having to take care of business because a guy just wouldn’t leave him alone.
He created “fear” by walking around with a gun, while obeying the law. Are these same people that are freaked out by that, bothered by police carrying guns? Or does the addition of the uniform change that fear into appreciation?
Pretty funny how 4 police officers showed up, one even with his rifle out. All for a guy going about his business completely within the law.
Quote from police officer:
We don’t know if you came and showed up with a loaded gun, or not a loaded gun
My reaction –>
It is reported that Walter Stanley was carrying two full “Clips” of ammo. I only saw a couple of magazines. Maybe he had some clips for his SKS or something in his pocket?
In the 2nd “extra” video, the police seemed courteous as usual. I don’t really like the way the officer handled the gun, and I don’t think the fact that ABC broadcast Walter Stanley’s serial # to the entire world is the best idea either.
Stay tuned for more uneventful open carry reports and videos.
I like the saying: “Never invite “the man” into your life”
Although I believe that is sage advice in most cases, I admire what those California residents are doing, despite being constantly harassed.
The police in the videos are all VERY nice, ill give them that. I wonder if they would be so nice if they were not being video taped? I hope so.
The person in the videos “David Julian” is a perfect example of how people that O.C. should behave when confronted by the police. He knows the law, keeps his cool, and is very polite. I hope that when he gets regularly stopped for those “checks” a number of curious anti gun people flock around and take notice of how the situation is handled, and maybe learn a thing or two.
If you don’t exercise your rights, there is a good chance they will be taken away. This has been proven over and over.
