well, yes shot placement. but lets say you aren't a perfect shot every time. The 300 pound guy has much more muscle than me, a 150 pound guy to absorb those .380 bullets. I would argue that because I have less mass for the bullet to dig through, I would be more hurt by each shot compared to the 300 pound guy.
So, yes the size of the BG does matter. It sure will legally anyway. if I am 150 and the guy I shot is 300, im pretty sure I will walk if it was real self defense without provocation
what if you do and go with a .44 mag and fire on a 17 year old 130 pound kid because you were prepping for the 300 pound BG?
I do not practice enough to have confidence in BANG BANG chest BANG head.
I would not say that only a person expert in head shots should be the only ones who can CCW.
Everyone is responsible for what is behind the target. That being said you have a hydra headed deal here, caliber, SD training for head shots, and confidence in head shots VS. caliber.
I am referring to your admission thatRespectfully, if you do not practice enough to be confident in a COM shot, you probably would be better served not to carry
I do not practice enough to have confidence in BANG BANG chest
yea, but you said you got sick to your stomach. that can be both physical and mental. a smaller person might have thrown up, or went unconscious. thing is, we don't know if it was mental or physical that did it. how can we tell?
But confidence only goes so far.
Of course practice, practice, practice. But there are too many variables to say only those who practice as much as you do should be the only ones who CCW.
I can say that all the commission classes and refresher courses I have taken none ever focused on head shots.
That never caused my renewal to be revoked in Texas.
I do not disagree with you on the importance of honing your skills, but I do think there is a point were one could be too confident.
The amount of tissue destroyed by a handgun bullet is miniscule in comparison to the bodyweight of even a small adult. Around a tenth of a percent of the total bodyweight.The 300 pound guy has much more muscle than me, a 150 pound guy to absorb those .380 bullets. I would argue that because I have less mass for the bullet to dig through, I would be more hurt by each shot compared to the 300 pound guy.
So, yes the size of the BG does matter.
I'm sorry, but there is absolutely nothing in TX law that suggests anything like this. I don't know where you got that information, but the best I can say is that someone was being extremely "creative"....some states, like my home state of TX, have a "maximum range" for SD shots. I want to say it is about 20-odd feet.
