Not very smart but it worked.
Wait what? He acted perfectly. He acted quickly, deciseively and without hesitation until the threat ceased. That was a textbook shooting, he had no one behind his target and he hit his targets. Most of all he remained calm and under control. Not sure how it wasn't smart. I can say I would have done exactly the same thing.

You're right, he should've dialed 911. :rolleyes:
I'm going to guess that you are a LEO and believe citizens need you to protect them... am I close?
Nice news clip Rasbo, thanks for sharing.

LOL... I was thinking the same thing, hoping that Crunchy comes back to explain... I really would love to hear the rationale behind his statement...

But I can somewhat see an opinion like Crunchy stated. To what extent did the guy need to engage the creeps? (for the legal argument) He's chasing them and shooting while their backs are turned. To me this is fine, even chase them down the street and finish them off. But just risky if you ask me with today's prosecutors and judges.

Yeah but it also shows that criminals are cowards and will run away from a lac with a gun. Not stand their ground like the ok coral
Also true...

bad guys had a .45 - but it was rusted up and not functioning and wasn't loaded, also they had a baseball bat.
moral of this story shows you what a .380 can and can't do - he's lucky the .45 wasn't working and he's lucky the bad guys weren't a little more hard core.
the guy who hit the ground didn't trip and fall, he was hit in the pelvis and his leg went dead - but then came back almost right away.
So ya, crunchy is right to a degree - everyone was lucky
bad were lucky it wasn't a bigger gun and better placed shoots, good guy lucky the bad guys weren't packing functioning .45 and the will to use it or just didn't go to work with the baseball bat[size=78%] [/size]

Some not all so don't count out it and carry as big as you can hide and get training so you can make it count!

I wasnt saying his technique wasnt good, because it was :tup:. Just saying I would have taken cover first then cranked off a few. It worked out for him well, but had dirt bag turned and fired he would have made a great target. Not worth dying for.A lot can be said for " shock and awe" criminals don't expect an armed citizenry. If they did they would not rob that place to begin with. Just watch the John stossel interview with convicts on gun control. Of course there is always exceptions to the rule.
