im one of these big guys u talk about (6'4 285 pounds and im 14) and ive thrown down with quite a few ''men'' for my young life. and if one ever pulled a gun id been at home washing my pants if you know wat i mean. of corse someone older might react differnt. but then again they might not.
 
Shoot until he hits the deck. Once he's off his feet cease fire, don't stand over him and empty your weapon into him (coughcoughOklahomapharmacistcoughcough). While he's under his own power he's a threat. Once he's down get to a safe distance, reload, and call the police while keeping an eye on him.
 
I use a smile and a friendly hand shake. Makes most folks smile right back at ya. But then, I am one of them larger guys with the relaxed look upon my face :)
 
Question I have is how one would know that it's one on one. He poses an immediate and serious threat, you necessarily shoot--how do you know his partner won't then be coming at you?

How about two quick shots, reassess... and let developments unfold from there?
 
I know most people will respond with the saying "Better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6". While self preservation is obviously very important, try to keep a good shoot good and stop shooting as soon as the threat is down.

Exactly. It may be better to by tried by 12 than carried by 6, but it's better still to be neither.
 
I used to train to put 2 in the chest and 1 in the head. I have since started training to put at least 4 shot COM and then hold and assess. Also, spread your COM shots out a hair. We were told in training that close groupings are not ideal. If you shoot the same vital organ twice, it is still only one vital organ hit. There is plenty to hit COM to justify a few inch spread in the shooting. I never thought about the pelvic shot, but that seems to be a valid option as well...
 
First off, I have to thank all who have gave there opinions.

I was not just being creative (Troll), as to show a real (In my world, of Las Vegas) situation that I face in a big city, and I've had two to one without a gun (Those [people] won, but they didn't kick my butt).

Now granted, I don't live in the bad area's.

I have to go to those place's from time to time that are very undesirable. And yes, I should have a hand cannon with a million shot's, (Not an Uzzi. But a S&W 327 .357mag 8 shot revolver, or a CZ75B 16+1 which I own, the big heavy lugs) Also, I can't carry a M16.

I just gave a scenario of a which one on one I have delt with in my 42 years.

I have been in life threatening situations without a gun, but i can only go so far without proper SD.

TBS, I'm fairly well travaled, and my best defense has been my brain.

And retreating when armed is the best option!

Thank you CCW class.
