- with the caveat that a person has to be physically up for it and have some proficiency. And the mentality. I'm squimish about blood. There must be some research on the exponential easiness of shooting someone, depended on the distance from the shootee. Drive by shootings are way too easy.
I can throw a knife pretty well, but not 100% well. A machete can chop someone up a lot. I don't want to have to butcher a human.
I'm hard of hearing already, it's a ton of paperwork. If I can't get my muffs on I hope I never have to shoot someone.
Let the perp know you mean business. Get the upper hand. Act like a cop; hollar real loud. Act like your crazy. But if it's mental/drugs there might not be any reasoning.
I hate 12 gauge. I could crank out the 20 gauge real fast. And old time Win '97 just sounds like you mean business.
Some kids were ringing doorbells(five real fast like an alarm. I kind of figured kids). I had the .45 with me when I opened the door. After a minute they (not seeing me in the shadows) came out of the bushes across the street and started walking. I safely racked the slide and those kids scadadeled like rabbits. Big thrill for them. Fun for me. No harm done.
