Agree. It’s very tough to shoot accurately when one’s adrenaline kicks in. This guy did just fine — he’s alive to tell the tale.
I’m on board with you. You survive, you win.
What the perps don’t realize is, having a gun in your hand doesn’t make you the big dog in the fight if the other guy has one, too and is popping caps at you.
Wouldn’t be surprised if the perp had the safety on or other bonehead move, like not having one in the chamber. Didn’t see anything in the post about the thug shooting.
