I've questioned this narrative the last two days and I guess I'll do it again today but something's just not adding up about the Secret Service agent opening fire on Ryan Routh. According to the agent's testimony to a congressional sub committee - they saw the barrel of his SKS from 10 feet, yes 10 feet, away and "shot at the muzzle."
At 10 feet, regardless of the daytime lighting conditions, how could that agent not see Routh in his salmon colored t-shirt holding the rifle? If they did see him why did they shoot at the muzzle of a rifle? That makes no sense.
However, if the engagement was actually at 10 feet, that's about the only explanation as to why Routh wasn't hit - the agent wasn't shooting at him....?
"The proactive shots fired by the agent were from within 10 feet of Ryan Routh."
When I had a house built I told the builder I wanted the exterior doors to open outward and he asked why. This is why 😂
The big vulnerability to an exterior door that opens outward is someone popping the hinges which can be mitigated by using these FWIW: https://mrgunsngear.org/3TuIV2D
Everything can be breached. How much effort it takes to breach it varies widely. Plan accordingly...
Last week we lost the great Ed Brown. Ed was many things but was best known as one of the few gunsmiths in the 70s and 80s that worked to improve the 1911 from the USGI model into the more modern version most of us are familiar with.
His innovations in the 1911 ultimately inspired others to take those innovations and bring them into what would become the 2011. So, a lot of the fancy guns you see across social media today likely wouldn't have ever been dreamt of let alone built with out the mind and talent of Ed Brown....

So far this is the best image of the would be Trump assassin's SKS recovered in West Palm Beach 😎
On a serious note; how hard is it to just take a decent photo of a rifle supposedly used in a historically relevant crime?
