Kathy here I am, being very polite!
[/And the participants in this forum are mostly just those type of individuals, and you have to love them.
We all can afford access to the Internet, a Computer, a chair to sit on, and food in the fridge, plus the ability to have electrical power, to run the equipment.
The above is us!
Now for a quick peek at Joe loser who walks into a small business late at night, with a stolen hand gun, a drug habit, and is not the sharpest bulb in the box, even when he has the $20.00 in his pocket, for his next crack rock, which at this moment in time, he does not!
The only control you, the CCW person has, is trigger control, you shoot him quickly, and you shoot him a lot! You can not even have any other thought, he will or will not shoot all in the store, if he wants, and you happen to be one of them.QUOTE]
The above is my true belief. The quote in blue.
It is called control, and you have not one tiny iota of control when a person appears in your midst, with a pistol, in a business, none whatsoever!
Whatever he wants to do (He/She) for instance raise pistol and shoot me! why? I have a hat on? I don't have a hat on.
I am Black/White/Indian/Short/Tall?
Marksmanship? Let me pick on Pax a moment, she shoots, has a CCW, could you hit a man sized torso, center of mass, at 5 yards, if this person was standing still? No need to answer, reference skill, and skill alone, I know the answer, yes you could.
If not one robber had ever shot a person, or group of persons in a robbery, the answer to this person with a gun, in your midst is simple, do nothing.
But as there are numerous accounts of these robbers shooting one, or a bunch, or all! Your only control is shoot them first, a lot!
And you can quote this study, and that study till you go blue, but reality is plain to see, it is sometimes stated as risk management.
The Israelis call it preemptive strikes. My nature falls back in to the Saxon' do unto others, as they would do unto you... BUT DO IT FIRST!
