WANT A LCR 22LR
New member
I've seen extensive discussion / training on holsters, draw, grip, sight picture. . . on and on, but nothing on what to expect / do when you have actually taken a hit. Is there anything to prepare for? Change of tactics? Something else?
There seems to be the assumption that once the BG gets hit, he goes down most of the time and the encounter is over. However, there is the assumption that the GG will remain standing and not take a hit.
A while back there was a city council meeting where a irate gunman fired on the council. ( this was the one where the gunman spray painted a red symbol on the wall and later the purse lady took a swing at him.) The council president sort of tipped over when a shot was fired in his direction even though he was not hit. Could it be that we are so used to TV / movies that when someone is shot they freeze and tip over. ( 60's wild west movies come to mind )
I know from the amateur auto racing world, new drivers tend to stop driving the car once it has spun thinking they are just along for the ride. Never stop driving the car until you have popped the belts and have left the car! Even if you are off into the grass sliding backwards you can still drive the car and save the situation.
