We have been through the "What would you do in this scenario?" deal ad nausium. There should be an icon one can click that states; SITUATIONS ARE DYNAMIC AND ABSOLUTES CANNOT BE GIVEN.So then the question becomes, in what situation would action be taken. If you were in a hostage situtation? Would you wait until someone was shot first and then act? If you are in the store and you hear gun shots a few isles over do you run for cover while others get shot or do you "Jack Bauer" it? Not that it would be like 24 but just curious to what the gut reaction would be.
Now I'm in danger.If you were in a hostage situtation
'I dunno, is he looking at me?Would you wait until someone was shot first and then act?
I'm not an actor, and that's not a prop gun he's holding. I can't yell "cut" if things don't go my way. I wouldn't run like a screaming girlscout, I would need to think then and there. My first thoughts are; COVER/ANGLE/LINE OF SIGHT/INNOCENTS/CLEAN UNDERWEAR.If you are in the store and you hear gun shots a few isles over do you run for cover while others get shot or do you "Jack Bauer" it?
hahaha Tanzer would check his underwear
First, it was tongue in cheek. Read the post. Shots fired in the Isle next to you. Now start a new thread:j/k Tanzer I had to! But I must ask..why underwear?
Running across the street/parking lot to get involved in an armed robbery is a lot different from suddenly finding yourself in the middle of one.it's easy to say you were walking into the drug store, oh no! a dude with a gun!
But I've had a gun fired in the same area I've been in a few times. Never once had to check my underware. I was scared first itme it happend, but 2nd, 3rd time, shots fired, take cover, and protect yourself.
In reply to Thunderhawk88's "The only thing really scary are fools who become Rambo because they carry a gun."
Well, I, for one, am a combat vet who is sick and bloody tired of people cowering and waiting for the cavalry to arrive and save their sorry asses.
If no one takes a stand, no one can claim to have done the right thing in the face of wrong.
