Would you shoot to protect your family?
Oooooohhhhh Booooy....Here we go!
"swatcop" wrote in message om... (snip) It's telling that what you are fantasizing about here is not self-defence, but murder. If the person under attack is, as you say, an "expert shot," then he ought to be able to disable the assailant with one, or perhaps two, well-placed rounds, which might be survivable. Formal police training, in fact, teaches that the proper procedure is to discharge two quick rounds, aimed at the area of largest body mass. With a Glock 40, that should be sufficient. If not, then subsequent shots are, of course, permissible. Your little adolescent fantasy about firing repeatedly, reloading if necessary, until the assailant is dead, would generally be seen as unacceptable to anyone but a member of the New York City Police Department and would probably get you charged with murder. First of all, I believe the message was a JOKE. That's HUMOR or FUNNY if you don't comprende. Talk about ANAL. Second of all, since you want to make it serious, you're dead wrong about shooting to "disable" someone. If you are in fear for your life or the life of another, then deadly force is justified. Being an "expert shot" is great, but not necessary, to land a couple of slugs in the assailant's center mass (middle of his chest). If you're really in FEAR, then you're not going to take the time to line up the sights and try to hit his moving leg which is running at you (and you probably won't hit anyway). You're much better off to use (for example) the Israeli technique, wherin you basically point and shoot without utilizing the sights. If you practice with this technique you'd be amazed how accurate you can be without even looking at your sights. As far as you little "dig" about the NYPD being murderers, well, you can stick it up your ass. Pin on a shield and do what we (cops) do for a day and then get back to me about shooting to disable people and other related subjects. Until you KNOW what you are talking about, don't make statements - ask questions - you'll look like less of an assclown. -- -= swatcop =- "If it wasn't for stupid people I'd be unemployed." -- -= swatcop =- "If it wasn't for stupid people I'd be unemployed." |

Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises the knife, and charges. You are carrying a Glock .40 and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do? You're in a deli about to order a sandwich and a crazed rhinocerous crashes through the front door of the shop. Do you order the ham on rye or the reuben sandwich? -- "There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary numbers and those who don't." ----------------------------- Byron "Barn" Canfield |

Well, if you are stupid enough to get yourself in this situation, I, as the very liberal wife, would shoot if my husband didn't. But he would. S "R. Steve Walz" wrote in message ...

I think you are much man. A regular Conan, and my new hero. Thanks, but I was only being honest. Besides, to protect what they consider "family", most people would do the same thing. I just happened to be the first to admit it. ;-) |

"Ivan Gowch" wrote in message ... All "macho" aside, I feel that it's best to be of the mindset to handle the problem yourself. Statistically, it can take anywhere from 5 to 40 minutes for a cop to get to your location, more than enough time for some crazed lunatic to murder your family and flee. If you wait for the cops, you risk becoming a statistic. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. If you're cursed both ways, better to act, than not to act. |

Oh, I'm sorry - I seem to have mistaken you for someone with a higher maturity and intelligence level. Please disregard my prior reply, as I assumed that it was being read by someone with at least a G.E.D. - silly me. People like you should have a little asterisk or something that pops up next to your name when you leave messages on newsgroups that identifies you as an assclown so people don't bother replying to your messages. -- -= swatcop =- "If it wasn't for stupid people I'd be unemployed." |
