If I was lying, I could have made the lie a lot more exciting than what I said, I have fired guns (shotguns and rifles) plenty of times, at targets. What more can I say?
"Don't project your inadequacies on the rest of us who do carry, have training and plenty of practice.
I have had to pull my gun twice and though I didn't have to shoot it to resolve the situation I was prepared and ready to do so. Also my hand wasn't shaking like an old lady with palsy as you have stated yours would be. This is a serious subject and you should really keep your uninformed opinion and cowardly advice to yourself."
I'll ignore the unnecessarily rude tone of your answer. You may well have plenty of training and experience, and you may personally have experience of using it and being calm and in control, hey, for all I know, you could be the 21st century's answer to Wyatt Earp (I'll have to take your word on what you say, and unlike you, I will, as I have no evidence to disprove it) but that doesn't mean everyone will, and that is the point, most people who are not accustomed to violence will suffer a deterioration in fine motor skills when faced with a violent situation and their aim will suffer accordingly. There is a lot more to training how to do something than simply learning the mechanics of doing it. I might not have used a gun in those conditions, but I understand it from other aspects of self-defence...
You’re supposed to be drunk. Then it’s just fun. Come to rob me you get shot. Fun or not.
Look, I’m from Texas and we don’t suffer fools well.
You continue to project your lack of knowledge, lack of experience, and lack of skills on the rest of us. Your posts make me think that you are from England and have never really been around guns. Certainly you have no clue of what it is like to live in a gun culture.
Guns are mystical magical things to you. They are tools to the rest of us. We use them, we take them apart and clean them. When they break we fix them. Some of us are alive because of them.
You are really out of your league on this thread and are making a fool out of yourself. You have as much business posting on this thread as a chicken has trying to play Texas Holdem. Stop while you are only this far behind.
