He took the shot. How many times have you screamed at the screen “take the shot”?

I KNOW IT!!! RIGHT????

The first time I did that, my wife said "Really? You'd take that shot?" I said "Absolutely, what would you want me to do?", she said "please practice... a lot."

Many, many times. Criminal Minds is one of the biggest offenders. With a roomful of agents who (supposedly) are excellent shots, one of the agents will drop his gun and try to talk the suspect into letting the victim go and dropping his weapon. This is insanity, risking two lives in order to save the life of a serial killer? This kind of la-la land crap is repeated on other cop shows ad infinitum.

Believe it or not, I’ve given this scenario a lot of thought. I have a fine 9mm carbine with a laser and an Aimpoint PRO sighted in at 7 yards. I’m confident in the weapon’s capability if I can use it properly. I think I’ll head to the range in the morning....
