Vulcan_Rider Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Good advice but you can't shoot someone in the back while they run for their life. Defensive display stops a lot of crimes in this country.didnt say you have to use it but plan on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 You can draw, fully intending to shoot, and then re-evaluate based upon the bad guy's reaction (drops the knife and runs away). No problem with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) RE: Don't draw unless you're gonna shoot....There are exceptions. If I go to investigate sounds of a possible burglary in my barn (no Castle Doctrine) and I come round the corner and find myself standing 10' from some guy who's loading my stuff onto his truck then where do I go from here?a) Run back to the house and call the police (if I can safely)b) Try to stop the crime without indicating I am armedc) Try to stop the crime with the gun out but behind my hip, not visibled) Try to stop the crime at the low-ready positione) Try to stop the crime at gunpoint (order him down/detain)The intent of having the gun with me would be in case he attacks me (seperate from the crime of burglary).He could rush me quicker than I could draw.So, I vote (A) if he didn't see me, and © if he did.All the time keeping an eye out for an accomplice or two.(This indecision is why I want to do Force-on-Force training) Edited November 17, 2011 by Scruit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
