Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire So, if an honest citizen steps up and

If bullets are raining down on people and some one starts shooting, he damn well better be in fear for his life, as odds are some one will shoot him

Friendly fire chance will be significantly reduced if you grab this windbreaker when you grab your rifle. Throwing the cap on, too, couldn't hurt.

Gee dumbfugk, that's only been mentioned three or four times already. Try reading. It might make you less stupid.

Well since we're discussing a situation that involved nobody returning fire I don't think that's very likely.

And as TRH said, keeping something like that with your truck gun is a very good idea. Mine says POLICE. I'm sure I could be charged with impersonating a police officer after the fact, but I really don't GAF.

Point taken. I was giving an instance where you need to use sense also.

I have taken first aid and carry a kit made for serious wounds, not one of those boxes of bandaids and an aspirin, when I go hunting. Even to the place of "learning" about sucking chest wounds and how to treat them. My point was that the course also taught to not go so far you are in over your head trying to do something. I do need to take a refresher.

Kenny, I agree that it would be just good logic if we all did a re-up on the first aid courses and got ourselves wisely re-educated and also, catch up on new medical practices and treatments. Anyone that hunts in the mountains surely should.

I really have no interest in helping anyone, and I hate all things related to CPR. But if you can take an IFAK course, you'll find a lot of very good and simple information.

And part of that information is don't bother with any victims until you've eliminated the threat. Assuming you have the means to eliminate the threat.

Mall Ninja would have stopped that schit quick

Don't you all wish that was the first(and last) post response?

Some one shooting back is exactly what was being discussed, and it doesn't matter much what it says on the side of your gun, if you were not in a LE uniform shooting in that situation woulda got your azz shot, more than likely.

In Texas they’d give the guy a lifetime supply of Lone Star beer and Texas BBQ plus lifetime tickets to Houston Astros games!

Ok.

"Someone" not "some one"

They're gonna think we're f-in' stupid.

lol

Yup...that's why there aren't many heroes. (Except on the internet,)

I notice that the armchair hero ratio is pretty high on forums of all types, especially chat rooms where the younger males prevail. At least as we age the need to be a big shot wears off, for most of us, at least.
