myself said:Everyone around me in my state can get thier permit as easily as I did. If they will not take it upon them selves to defend themselves, why should I risk anything of mine to do it for them?
I will protect those close to me, no doubt, but a stranger, frankly, is not my problem.
Please do not take this the wrong way. I am not a completely incompasionate person. I jsut do not see the need for me to be a hero for all around me. I bought my pistol and got my permit for personal protection. I will protect my person.
I'm well aware that the 15 rds that I carry, and my proven levels of performance would result in at least 5-6 of them getting shot.
now i think i did the right thing in this situation, but if shots had started flying around the parking lot would i have been justified in dropping him? what would you do in this situation if the bullets had started to fly?
doesn't mean it can't be done, dude. Maybe you think punks are suicidal, but I've got about 10,000 x as much experience with them as you do, and I'm telling you that hitting "just' 3 of them would send the rest fleeing, and that can be accomplished in 1 second flat, no problem, to include the ccw draw. 1 second, it will be a complete surprise, and thus, you'll have stationary, frontal targets.
I believe you are wrong about that. State the law that bans carry in Wal-Mart. Be sure and make sure it's a federal law so it will cover every state.Oh and by the way, carrying a gun in the parking lot of wal mart is also illegal. They have issued statements and signs prhohibiting the carry of firearms anywhere on their property, unless it's being carried in the trunk. So as soon as you take that gun out you're breaking the law.
I believe you are wrong here as well. Many LEOs have shot, injured or killed suspects who had no gun, and no charges were filed. Again, please state the law you are referencing. A cut and paste or a hyperlink will do nicely.Police officers don't even have the right to shoot someone unless the criminal aims the gun at them, or is actually shooting in the parking lot.
