Please refer to the accompanying document entitled “State of California Firearms Prohibiting Categories” for a complete list of the firearms prohibitions in state law.

Firearm Noise

by

6.1 AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT

The main sources of noise within the affected environment on Tinian addressed in this Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) are related to military operations (airfield operations, ground training, construction noise and ground vehicular traffic). Ground training encompasses many types of activities, but live-fire activities are emphasized in analyzing the noise environment because they generate more noise than other ground-based activities. Heavy equipment used during construction activities is the primary source of construction noise. Traffic noise relates to vehicle movements on roadways around the island. The following sections discuss the baseline noise environment to assess the potential effects of noise that may be generated in each geographical area of interest on Tinian should the proposed action be implemented.

6.1.1 Definition of Resource

Gunshot Wounds To The Head: Gang- And Non-Gang-Related Injuries And Outcomes

by

Abstract

This study examined the differences between gang and non-gang-related incidents of penetrative missile injuries in terms of demographics, motivation, intra-cranial pathology, transit time, injury time and clinical outcome. Retrospective and prospective chart review. Between 1985-1992, 349 patients with penetrating missile injuries to the brain presenting to LAC-USC were studied. Inclusion criteria were implemented to keep the cohort as homogenous as possible. Patients excluded were those with multiple gunshot wounds, non-penetrating gunshot wounds to the head, systemic injuries and cases in which the motivation for the incident was unknown. Gang-related shooting slightly out-numbered non-gang-related incidents. Demographic analysis showed both a male and Hispanic predominance for both gang- and non-gang-related victims and significant differences in gender, race and age. Occipital entrance sites were more common in the gang-related vs temporal entrance sites in the non-gang-related. Mean transit time to the emergency department for gangssed Nov 25 2018]....

The “Center Mass” Myth and Ending a Gunfight -Triggernometry

by

Surviving a gunfight isn’t what you think it is. Don’t let conventional wisdom get you killed. A well place round to “center mass” in your attacker may not take him out of the fight. Lots of people stay in the fight after “center mass” hits, and some even win it. If you expect to win your gunfight, you have to make sure that you have effectively ended the threat of your attacker. One, two or even several well placed “center mass” shots may not do what you think it will, and learning to recognize this before you gunfight may save your life.

There is a self styled self defense “expert” under every rock, and perhaps two behind every bush, these days. If you have a pet theory on what might work on the street then you can probably find a champion for that idea who actually charges people to teach...
