Sorry, George, but those scenes you see in TV cop dramas of a round from a snub nose .38 causing a pickup truck to explode into a ball of fire and then fly harmlessly over the shooter are just fiction.


I'm glad you realize that. I, OTOH, don't watch cop shows. No need, I actually do, rather than just talking/typing. Some of us actually take our firearms and shoot at and from vehicles so we know what actually happens in the real world. Novel concept for many teachers, I understand, but it's reality.

Most folks with common sense realize that the first order of business is getting out of the way in those sorts of situations.


I've been in "those sorts" of situations. I've ducked vehicles and I've seen driver's stop when they realize what's going to happen if they don't.

Somehow, I doubt I would've been able to convince the cops that I needed to blow the driver away, either.


So, in reality, it wasn't what you made it out to be here on the 'Fire. Good to know...

You guys crack me up with this BS.


Since you're a constant source of laughs for many of us here, it's nice to return the favor once in a while wink .
