how many of you could...

There are many tricks to mask were it comes from . Setting up so that the projectile passes a large tree or structure while the appearance that the round was fired from that point.There are others as well .

 

We just got our "castle doctrine" here in Wisconsin. More and more states are doing so and as the economy and rise of home invasions occur, it just makes sense to me at least.

 

BTPost: Not too technical. It's a good point and well taken for a head shot only. I plan for and routinely practice a double tap (2 quick shots) to the chest (large mass, easier target) which then gives me time to follow with 1 more controlled shot to the head (smaller mass, smaller target). Under this scenario, that last sound the Bad Guy will hear will be the .357 extending it's greetings.

 

NC finally joined the 21st century. We now have the castle doctrine as of 1 January 2012!

 

I've had to pull a gun on someone twice, the second time I was ready to use it and was well within the law...the look on the shitheads face was priceless, he backed away and left faster than he originally came.

 

Here's an interesting twist to this question:

How many of you could . . . with a knife?

Straight Forward in a Crooked World: Dark Arts for Good Guys: The Right to Knife

 

The article is comprehensive and very direct. If it is a matter of life and death survival...I would try to do what needed to be done and deal with the psychological trauma later, should I survive. I think I'd rather an appoinment with a shrink than an appointment with an undertaker.

 

An interesting read: On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society: Dave Grossman: 9780316040938: Amazon.com: Books

 

you guys shoulda grown up on a farm, culling is something you learn early
bad people def need culled from the herd and the sooner the better

 

Not only an interesting book, but instructive also

David Grossman's book isn't only merely interesting, it's also instructive. Killing up front and intimately personally, hand to hand, is probably one of the most psychologically traumatising events I could imagine.

 

I was into blades before I was into Guns. A person would NOT wan to see how good I am. Cuz then they'd be Sushi. By blades I mean anything from my folding pocket knife clipped in my pocket with a 3 1/2" blade to my various War Axes I collected to a few replica Swords. I don't own anything I don't know how to use. Course it could be worse. If I had to defend my life the Badguy better HOPE to hell I use a knife or a gun. Cuz if it was bare hand, it'd get very very very MESSY!!!

An no, the size of the BadGuy wouldn't really Matter. Cuz how do you beat a man that doesn't know what its like to NOT ache, hurt, or feel pain? Besides, anything can be a weapon, if used properly

 

should i be bothered that the thought of killing someone that gives me no choice but to do so, be it with a gun or a knife doesnt bother me? I know i can be appathetic at times but that thought really doesnt bother me. Aim for center mass, pull trigger, repeat as neccessary. Or, insert pointy end of blade in opponents belly button and pull upwards toward sternum....no problem.

damn im feeling morbid now....

 

Gators stay hungry down here...They don't care who's for supper....

 

In less than a heartbeat.

 

no problems here

 

Its hard to shoot a lady not a woman, A woman is a female human and is just a capable of killing you as a man. I have hit a number of Women who stepped up and acting like a man attempting to assault me ain't no thing I would shoot one just as fast.

A lady will never give you cause to do either and is something to protect.
