Just curious if anyone has ever thought about defending himself when the BG is trying to take your gun away from you....
I've been a follower of this forum for years, but I've never seen a thread in which this scenario is discussed. And yet, I think it is very likely that some of us, either for humanitarian reasons or for fear of litigation, will HESITATE on the trigger pull---and then the BG is upon us!
I've studied martial arts (I'm a black belt in JuJitsu) for 30 years. In all that time, we've practiced taking the gun away from the BG, assuming we were close enough to try. NEVER have we practiced the reverse: the BG trying to take the gun away from US---because we have either hesitated, or fired into his shoulder, etc.
I think this scenario is more likely than not. If a BG grapples with us, we cannot let go of our gun. I think I have figured out a few excellent defenses we can use, while retaining our gun. I'm going to start practicing these techniques from now on.
Perhaps many of you will say you'll have no problem blasting the BG, if the circumstances warrant it. But I wonder if that's true. Most of us don't want to kill anybody, not really; or be judged by a jury for doing so. Many of us would think twice before pulling the trigger, which means THE BG CAN BE ON TOP OF US IN AN INSTANT.
Have you thought that through? Do you know what to do when someone grabs your gun?
I have suggestions for you, if you're interested. My suggestions, like my opinons, are free.
