I think a lot of the fantasy, is the illusion some seem to have, that self defense is defensive in nature.As a CCW or gun owner i think we should stop fantasizing about having shootouts/firefights and think more of self defense.
If I need to defend myself, its going to be pure aggression towards the threat, until its solved or Im dead. Thats still self defense, just the full force of it being used.
Where this stuff about running away (preemptive situational awareness aside), and some silly made up SD "rules and regs" that people seem to think are in force, is really a wonderment. If you feel your life is in danger and is in motion, and need to protect yourself, do so, and as forcefully and violently as you possibly can. What are you expecting to happen if you dont? They will quiver in fear because you produce a gun? I do think there is a lot of fantasy going on, and its not by those who are realistic about their security, and who prepare in that direction.
Exactly.If bullets are coming your way, it doesn't matter if you are a civilian or a police officer. If you run out of ammo it doesn't matter if you are a civilian or police officer.
This seems to be lost on many.Proper shot placement of a deep-penetrating bullet is the only thing you can actually count on. You may get lucky and your attacker will choose to stop, but if not — you may have to force them to stop. And that may take a lot of bullets, so…Shoot until the threat stops
The drill is "shoot them to the ground", caliber (assuming one of the realistic "people" calibers) is irrelevant. Why would you stop shooting, if the target is still standing and a threat?
