Now can someone post something that isnt plain insane? or has a want to shoot a guy feel about it? makes us look very bad to the public, as if every CCW holder wants to throw down on someone just cause they have a permit to carry a lethal weapon.
I'd love to see an example of anything in the tactics and training forum get posted where you don't have the exact same type of debate get started. Here's the problem with that.
#1 This is a FIREARMS forum. That sort of implies everything here is GUN related. Last time I checked, guns were designed pretty much for the sole purpose of giving a person the means to kill.
#2 The sub forum we are in is called TACTICS AND TRAINING (in an "alley" no less!) which both imply USING your gun in some manner.
#3 Threads entitled "scenario" generally are going to provide an example of a situation where a
gun MAY or MAY NOT be used.
Every single one of these threads end up with the exact same kind of responses. You usually get:
A. I'd NEVER use my gun (all the way down to "I never even carry cause the need will never be there" And you read this why?)
B. I'll only use my gun to protect my own hide.
C. I'd try to determine if use of my gun was called for and employ it based on the situation.
D. I'll use my gun any time I think I have just cause to pull it based on a. my feelings b. how a person looks c. 2nd amendment issues d. other
E. Guns are made for blazin' and that's what I have mine for. Jest call me hair trigger...
Do you think it's possible to get a situational post on this sub forum that is not going to degenerate into this? Good luck.
I for one, am here to see if people with experience post stuff that I can learn from. Life is not absolute. Situations where you should or should not employ a gun are hardly absolute. Studying these possibilities is a good thing. If your mind is not willing to look at all the possibilities, then reading this forum will do you no good no matter how well done it is.
I mean, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here...
Anyone? Anyone?
C'mon, I know you wanna!
And when and if you do, please post your 'scenario'.
