Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Cop firing through his windshield???

I'd think one would have a sensation of his head imploding every time a round was fired. That had to have hurt, and he'll most certainly file for a hearing disability in the near future.
As a stupid kid, I once fired a round through the open rear window of a station wagon from the driver's seat. Rest assured, I will never do that again.

thats interesting, that cop fired 30 rounds...now what if a person with their family had police rounds whiz past and hit some of their family,

would you consider that a threat you are entitled to give an armed respond to?...first utmost priority is to look after yer family...
hence neutralise ANY imminent threat as best and as rapidly as one can.....or does that liberty only apply to cops?

I doubt cops would be too happy or understanding if you hit and killed one of theirs when just trying to look after your family.
do you think LE would refrain from attempting to prosecute you?

now keep in mind... cops will approach the wrong home with a no-knock warrant and shoot dead the totally innocent resident
for simply trying to protect himself from an invasive threat...and police will argue to the judge that their actions were totally justified.

Good job. He didnt hide in a stairwell or outside the school.

He may be a democrat.

I don't know that it's taught but it makes perfect sense to fire through a soft barrier to hit something on the other side.

spencer and starman should less time spooning with one another.

It is taught in my training classes.

I wrote that poorly.

I was trying to say I don't know if that cop or other cops I've seen recently were taught to do it or just did it instinctively.

We trained for shooting through windshields at the Sheriff's Office here in Florida. Of course it is a last ditched effort to save yourself, but it works! You need to at least try and send all the rounds through the same hole in the windshield, but it can be done with accuracy. One of the instructors was easily able to hit steel targets at 15 meters consistently. If someone is approaching your vehicle and firing at you....shooting back through the windshield works!

In the heat of a gun battle, the cop's not going to take the time to Mirandize someone intent on killing him.

When you've got nothing to offer, change the topic.

One of the dudes' names was Miranda. He exercised his right to remain silent.

Whoooooooooosh!

you don't even think about any of that when you are in a fight.

Might want to watch this.

Mirandized?......really? Obviously someone doesn't know Dik about the law!

Seems like it could make driving more difficult if you completely spider web the windshield in front of you while driving..

Aim low when shooting through a windshield. Don't worry about your hearing or spiderwebs, put the threat down.

I agree, when not driving. Could make it a little hard to continue a high speed pursuit when you can't see (driving), though.

Do you know the name of the ones that were shot........................ did you read the article????

Sheeeeesh, some of this group is a bit obtuse................. Or maybe my attempt at a little levity was too cryptic............

Ernest Arturo Miranda( the guy from Arizona, the guy in the LANDMARK SCOTUS RULING) - 'you have the right to, yadda, yadda, yadda.........'

OR

Fidel Miranda (THE GUY IN THE ARTICLE, THE GUY IN THE CAR, THE GUY THAT GOT SHOT) - Bam, Bam.....bambambam,....Bam, Bam..................

Rant - OFF

It's probably MY fault..................
