At the risk of seeming rude, it doesn't take much skill for this one. Now, do you wish to comment on the substance of what I posted or just trade personal insults? Perhaps you would care to regale us with your experience and training that would suggest this stuff is a good idea? Ummm, you do have some experience and training in these things, right??
And I don't believe I commented on your suggested tactic. You at least had the good sense to context your "run him over" concept within a few "maybe" qualifiers, which tended to me to indicate that you weren't that sure if it would be a good idea either. In fact, your "But I would not even consider to attempt a one-on-one against someone armed with a rifle. That is just suicidal and stupid" is one of the better comments, IMO. But that is quite different than what others have suggested.
No, it doesn't, and I never suggested otherwise. My point is that some of these Rambo-esque fantasies are just that, fantasies, and that those with experience and training in some of these situations would realize that.
Actually, I did post two options that I would consider before I criticized their posts. Then I made an observation that suggested a lack of understanding of the reality of this type of situation on the part of some of the posters. Then, I criticized some of the comments in the post. So I would suggest your initial analysis is somewhat flawed.
That is obvious. And I would suggest that not giving great thought to what one would do is not much of a defense.
Perhaps. But I really don't have the time or the energy (nor do I think the forum wants it) to post a treatise on why a lone civilian attacking an entrenched sniper is problematic. I think I did educate--Don't call the police on your cell phone in the middle of a crisis and tell them the situation is under control and expect them to believe much of anything. Don't assume that you are going to be able to easily sneak up on an active shooter and take him out. Don't go hunting BGs. There are good reasons police handle shooting situations the way they do.
Well said.
Yes, I guess that is right. The difference is between internet hero-types and those who have BTDT. The leadslinger has got it right, p***ing contests serve no good end and apparently you are more concerned with trying to insult me and toss flames than justify an action that most professionals are laughing at. You may have the last word. Let me know when you have some experience or training, then maybe we can have an educated discussion on this rather than the flame-fest.
