A question for people who carry guns on them

[ROLEXrifleman]

even if I wasn't a cop....

1) once someone goes hands on its a lot more than shoplifting! I was in in fear of my life, trigger pulled. / thread

2) I gotta ask, why would you be in your car with your weapon exposed where someone could grab it let alone let them get close enough to punch you. I grew up in the hood so you never got caught snoozing at a light.

you are right though, talking about doing it and being put in that situation are different worlds.

Cops get to do what they want so why not shoot up the gangsters and wannabe thugs

cops can be DICKS for sure (not all though). But if you grab for one of their buns

If a man tries and grab my buns I'm definitely shooting him

Scenario 1. At the point hes out of hte store hes no longer a threat to physical harm. You shoot him you go away. Once the contact is broken and he retreats you kinda are over a barrel. If that 20 dollar product is worth the 60 grand or so in legal fees to try to get off then have at it. It probably wont end well.

Scenario 2. If you are going for my gun in a car you are basically in my car. IF I have the ability to accelerate and Im not in park we are about to go for a serious ride. If I'm in park or boxed in and I can draw someone is getting ventilated. Its tough to say in each situation.

I say this every time it comes up. I never ever ever want to have to shoot someone and I never ever ever want to be put in the situation where I have to make that decision. I'm a much calmer and more mindful person if I'm carrying because I don't want to be int he situation where it can ever be said I escalated. i'm also hyper aware of situations going around me and have a really good sense of when shit is about to take a turn for the worst.

Its so tough to even try to interpret though because it happens so fast. One of the first things I remember someone teaching me when I started shooting matches is that you have to train at speed to get better at speed. The very first match I shot I had a target roughly 7 feet away that was one to the body and one to the head on the first target. I actually missed the head shot.

What isnt hard is to judge what happened. If anyone ever wants to see what its like to have that adrenaline flowing and how easy it is to misread something under speed and you are within a few hours of me just let me know. We will get you out for a match in the spring and you can see just how crazy the adrenaline flow is in a tense situation.

not just reaching in your car, punching you in the face and then going for the gun on your hip. Actually getting his hands on it. No time for debating then IMO.

cops can be DICKS for sure (not all though). But if you grab for one of their buns, it's not them "doing what they want" it's them doing what they have to do. You are one stupid motherfucker to grab anyone's gun especially someone like a cop.

You never want to grab a cops buns LMAO.

thats the typo of the year. i didnt even noticed it lol

First scenario, definitely would not fire.

second scenario, it would be kinda hard to know if he was going for my gun unless he managed to get his hand on it. If someone is going for my gun, I would definitely pull the trigger on them...but over a few dollars, no way. A life is worth way more than a few dollars.

so you gonna let someone rough up your pops while you have a gun in your hand? Dude is taking a legger MINIMUM if im at the store. Maybe not shoot his head because i wouldn't want to clean up that mess.

Are you that good of a shot to where you would shoot a guy in the leg while he was close enough to your pops to have his hands on him? Or when would you squeeze that round off?
