Do TMT's mommies have two Glocks too?

wrote: If you want to get a permit and carry concealed I think that is sensible. But just walking around everybody else with a gun on your hip like a cop seems a little weird, if you ask me. Hawke Roger that. If ya wanna be a cop, do the training regimen and take the job. A CCW does not make the posessor an ersatz cop, champion of the oppressed, defender of others. It merely conveys the legal right to carry a weapon. Actual use of that weapon is subject to lots more law, both criminal and civial. Legal defense is expensive, figure $50K minimum. Acceptable if death would obviously and provably been the result of not killing, pricey otherwise. You have seconds to make that decision, and however that turns out the perp's rellies who mourned his sorry ass while he was planted at public cost will know your address. |

The first problem you have if you use a gun for self defense is are you correct in that judgment. Were you legally right when you decided to use deadly force? You may have to make that decision very quickly and without knowing a lot of the facts. Then if you do use your weapon comes the second guessing by the state. Was it all legal and proper? Hopefully it was and you aren't prosecuted for using the weapon when you didn't have the legal right to do it. But even if you were legally allowed to use the weapon you're not free from civil liability. The person you shot can sue you even if you were legally in the right and they may win in court. Last comes the psychological impact on you that comes from shooting another human being. Some people have no trouble with this but others are greatly affected by shooting another person even though they had to. So the truth is it's a hell of a big responsibility to even have a gun on you. Even more so if you actually ever use it. Most people never give things like this a thought until its way too late.

Depending where you are, you may not have to worry about the civil courts. Many Staes shield the self defender against civil repercussions if the shooting was done in self defense. I'll agree about the psychological impact that some people might feel. I may even feel sad for a short time but take comfort in the fact that it was them instead of me or a loved one. Ice cream usually cheers me up a bit :-) Actually, the honest citizen who defends himself probably give it much more thought than the bad guy does. |

The MP told me he was taught, and did teach, "Do not un holster unless you mean to fire it, do not fire unless you intend to shoot some one, do not shoot some one unless you intend a fatal wound." Not that you _had_ do all those things, but "It's not a game, it's not a method for sending a 'message' - if you're not as serious as a heart attack in a bus driver, do not even stop. Or as I put it once, using a fake gun to try and scare off someone merely wastes times you could have spent running away. - pyotr filipivich We will drink no whiskey before its nine.

Do TMT's mommies have two Glocks too?
"Chief Egalitarian" fired this volley in
: What kind of instructor lets his students on the range without his ears on? Most of them, unfortunately. I guess they figure that the participants won't get enough noise over the long run to adversely affect them... sigh... On the other subject of "making split-second decisions" about using deadly force or not: that's a matter of training, too. But it is not necessarily the sort of training you're going to get from the average CCW instructor. It involves lots of "mental exercises", planning (yes _planning_) then mentally and physically practicing what your actions will be in any *of a lot of* given threatening situations. I had a very wise hand-to-hand instructor in Riv-Div/Cos-Div training who told us (in essence), "Your feet are your most effective defensive weapons. Nobody WINS in hand-to-hand combat, one guy just loses worse than the other. So USE your feet -- in almost every case by planting one after the other as fast as you can. Only engage in personal combat when it's the ONLY option available." Or that gist. Wise man. It paid off in 'Nam. 100' of separation while armed is a _good_ thing! LLoyd |
