On Being John McClane

[montana]

That was just the first photo with the desired pose that I came across. Apparently I should have searched for a pic that didn't make it look like the subject was at arm's length. Perhaps something like this one would've been better.



I guess I wasn't clear in what I was trying to get at. Try this:

You hear shots fired. You see dead people sprawled on the ground. You then see someone taking aim at you. He is too far away for you to attempt a disarm. You don't know if he is the shooter, or another CCW who suspects you of being the shooter. There is no cover available. What do you do?

Seriously stanc ,trying to answer hypothetical scenarios is an exercise in futility. Were the dead people children in a school, bikers in a bar, shoppers in a mall? If there is so much doubt about concealed weapon holders using good judgement then that is your opinion. I don't understand the point you are trying to make. I have no delusions of being John Mcclane, Rambo or some other fictional character. I hope the drivers on the other lane of a highway are not drunk, distracted or crazy but that is not always the case. What would you do if a driver does this or that? All we can do is pay attention at all times and hope we react the best way possible. Keeping your head will save lives more than anything else. In the industry I have worked in some people are slow to react, panic or for lack of a better term have their heads up their back side. This is why some people have been killed where others have worked their entire lives without so much as a scratch. The professor I posted on the other thread admits he falls over the edge at times and wouldn't trust himself if he had access to a firearm during those moments of rage. Then he makes the assumption all gun owners are unstable like himself. Is this the point you are trying to make?
