Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Do you think as a side-armed citizen, you could have thwarted the El Paso shooter?

You dont when your # is up....
No one knows that.
Better to be armed than not.
If ya got a clear shot and possibly some good cover dump rounds on em.

Some millennial whack job vested up
Start taking out his lower body areas
Fugg, from the belly button down is all exposed.

Go out fighting.
You either survive or you dont.
Better than dying like live stock.

Fahqin' sanctimonious moron.

Pretty much on point as usual from renegade or slumlord and I agree. That kid submitted as soon as he encountered force. Said he was going down fighting, didn't have the stomach for anything other that taking out unarmed people. I think most people are giving these wackos way to much credit. Most of these guys aren't the North Hollywood Bank Robbers, just some left wing socially offended white boy.

You started this thread three days ago and have posted nine times on it. You don't have a "thought-out response" response to your own question you asked?

Watch the New Zealand shooting and tell me he didn’t have complete tunnel vision. An unarmed person was able to get up to him. If that person would have had a hammer it might have went different

I have no idea how I would have responded. I have an incredibly strong protective instinct. I am willing to risk my life in service to others. I am also a practical thinker. I would not present myself for senseless slaughter. I think the tactical situation would guide my response, but I'll allow that under that much stress I don't really know what I'd do.

Would be extremely beneficial to have even a couple of minutes, let alone three days prior notice before a spontaneous mass public shooting event to come up with a real world, "thought-out response", that covered all possible variables, potential scenarios and unknowns.

Zactly.

Let's understand that I know my physiological stress response. I have been the target of someone trying to kill me four times. I carry scars from three slash wounds and two stab woulds a shoulder that ties me up ( that's what happens when the two locks on the end of the belt hit your shoulder after the glance off the side of your head). I've done that terrible two minutes those times and more.

Not exactly uncharted waters for me.

Depends on the angle of attack, side or rear, and no civilians in the way for a clear shot. If he was wearing a vest, probably leg or but shot for wound, head shot to kill. Hitting the bullet proof fest will knock the air out of him for additional shots.

Here's the gist of that legal end. If the cop, even one that barely passes qualification, goes in and fires his 15 round mag and misses. He injures or kills innocents. This cop will not be potentially charged with something in the homicide range, nor will he face personal civil liability. He is covered by sovereign immunity because he is acting as an agent of the state.

Exactly. Tell us who where and time. I will be there with my trusty old 3030 and surprise him from cover, shoot him right through the liver. Never gonna happen

It depends. Family and kids first. Get them the hell outta there. That being said, I rarely make Walmart a family excursion. If I think I can get the drop on an active shooter with an AR platform to save lives, I like to think I will without hesitation, but I have never been in a hostile situation with gunfire. The times I’ve had rifle bullets zing past deer hunting put all senses on alert and I had a taste in my mouth that was not unlike a 9v battery. Adrenaline dump or so I’m told.

Trying to hit the apricot when firing from sporting goods to frozen foods in a Walmart with a G43 is a foolish proposition. Perhaps to provide cover fire for those trying to escape. Again, it all depends. It’s a dynamic situation. Best not to be part of the problem unless you can be reasonably sure you’re part of the solution.

A person never knows what he or she would do until you are in that situation.

It is all about mindset and commitment, some prepare to win while others surrender in advance because it is easier. I have heard a lot of excuses so far as to why you shouldn't put yourself at risk and find it appalling.

It becomes extra amusing when these same warriors bemoan gun control and extoll their role as victims of an unjust world that controls their choices.

Lots of losers and poosies exposing themselves on this thread. The OPs trolling post has had unexpected consequences.

Exactly

Does the casual interaction cyber waffle CF operate under EXAM conditions?, or must one answer within a certain life or death rigid time frame?

You wont get hard and fast instantly gratifying answers from me If I don't think thats the way I should answer your specific question under
cyberworld conditions.

you sound like a petty nit picking old man with an agenda.

You sound like a liberal troll, all mouth and no substance. You ask questions that you aren't able or willing to answer yourself do to no real core values that you are willing to stand behind. An expert on everything and nothing really at all.

No, You are pissed cause Im not playing your game the way you would like.

You didnt get what you wanted , now you chukKy a tantrum.

Nah, you have already forgot this was your game. You're not smart enough to realize it, but you just "outed" yourself in front of everyone. Not capable or have enough substance to answer a question you ask of everyone else
