Ok I was pondering how to word this so I dont sound like a crazed gun nut. Here is a gunfight scenario, and I thought of the one of the most horrid things that can happened to a person, armed robbery. Not trying to be mean, but I have had 2 seperate occasions within the last 6 months that made me think a lot. Some people on this forum know from the ktog forum what Im talking about. The first time my company was robbed was over 2000$ dollars and the 2nd time the idiot didnt get anything.
Ok you are at work and someone comes in with a rifle. You know not if the rifile is loaded or not. There are other people in the business, like salespeople or other employees. You are armed. In Florida this is considered as a forcible felony. You know the robbers intentions and they dont look good. If you have time, do you draw and drop the bastard(sorry), or give him the money.??
Ok here is what goes on when this happens.
1. The recoginition of the immediate and imminent threat.
The goblin demands everybody to start giveing him money. He has pointed the gun at several people. This is done to cause fear and panic. This is the point that must not go any further than this.
2. Your collective thinking turns into mush for a few seconds.
And this when the tunnel vision and tunnel hearing kick in, Only the things directly in front of do you hear or see.
3. Any aiming practically goes almost out the window.
If you are going to stop this before he starts wounding people because they arent moving fast What do you do. You might not be able to get a clear centermass shot, but aim for somewhere that will incapicitate him or make his would-be theif friends run like hell. And if you dont shoot, he is going to first.
What I want to know, is what would YOU do in this situation.
I may post some more similar scenearios in the future.
