What part of what I have said makes you think I am lying? I will freely admit I’ve never fired a gun in anger at another person, but I have fired plenty of guns at targets, and I know from that that my aim was pretty good when I had total focus, but sucked when I was faced with distractions and other stresses. Faced with a situation where I felt I had to use a gun on another person, I know from other violent situations I’ve been in with a high adrenaline level and consequent decline in fine motor skills that my aim would have sucked badly in that situation, and I’m pretty damn sure I wouldn’t be the only one whose shots would be going wild.
Don’t think “bullseye” or “head shot”. Think “center of mass”. And use a target sized such that a hit of any sort represents a torso hit, X-ring or not.
Hey Sins:
You’ve been around FR for a while. You appear to be an “abstract” thinker. Which is all well and good.
But until you have been by yourself, surrounded by bad guys, there is another side to life.
Let me ask you one simple question: Have you ever had the overwhelming taste of a copper penny in your mouth, when NO copper penny is IN your mouth?
This is not a trick question, not an attempt at humor, not sarcasm, and not a means to ridicule you.
Those who know what I am talking about, need no explanation. Those who don’t, can’t. Until that day they taste it. Then they know, and can never explain it to those who don’t.
The street has no mercy.
Shut up, you’re just digging a deeper hole.
Your absolute lack of knowledge on the subject beyond having watched TV.
I know from other violent situations I’ve been in with a high adrenaline level and consequent decline in fine motor skills that my aim would have sucked badly in that situation,
Obviously you have no training what so ever so I believe that YOU should not even think about carrying a gun.
and I’m pretty damn sure I wouldn’t be the only one whose shots would be going wild.
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.
