On Being John McClane

[LR1955]

Since I won't be carrying, and won't be able to "do something," I'll probably get shot. :eek:

Upon further reflection, I think I'm making much ado about a hypothetical situation that may never come to pass.

I suspect that I create such posts as a way to scratch my writing itch since I retired from writing for gun rags.

Stan:

I doubt that is your intent in this thread. I honestly think your question is well worth asking. It is a natural result of the numbers of people who are getting CCWs these days.

However, you boxed yourself in by presenting the situation you presented. If someone is pointing a gun at your chest, your options are to stand and get shot or do something and maybe not get shot. If he is right in your face, you can grapple with him. If he is at a distance, you can seek cover real fast and get the hell out of there, or if you have your pistol pointed at him you can shoot him.

In your case, you better hope he is at a distance so you can try to get away.
