Well that’s a problem right there.
Heck 1/4 of the people I see at ranges I don’t want to stand BESIDE. And a few... I just up and leave. Downrange? Hell no!
Don’t forget, for every pair of guys who might have the competence to pull that off, there are 10,000 on the Internet who are going to think “that looks badass! Let’s get pictures of ourselves doing it!!!”
No, thank you. There is a nonzero chance that I will someday be in a situation where that training would be useful, but the odds of the training going badly are MUCH higher than the odds of needing that training. Not only would I not do it, I would not knowingly shoot with anyone but a specialized professional who would do it.
Great response!
There are no professionals who would do this. Anyone who would do this is anything but a professional.
I wouldn’t even want to be in the same zip code as these jokers.
If I was a trial lawyer, I would name every person at the range, their parents and the kids they went to school with after my client was carelessly slaughtered while the toothless imbeciles cheered them on (the later is fiction to make the jurors cry and award more money)
Interesting. What movie is that from, I wonder?
I would trust a shooting buddy to follow him anywhere.
My wife and I have already agreed on a code word for the currently-restrained spouse to drop down before the other fires. Because, neither of us will ever give up our weapon to the a$$hole holding the other hostage.
I do not trust any other person with a gun. Too many idiots point it in the wrong direction even when unloaded. When that occurs I typically leave the area, or make my observations known when it can be politely resolved. The only person I trust with a loaded gun, is me!
We used 2 round steel plates in partial eclipse. It worked well. Hijack scenarios were similar with seating added.
This is bat hsit f$$$$$g crazy and you know it. Anyone who would encourage the impressionable among us to engage in insane conduct like this at the shooting range ought to be whipped.
I like shooting steel as well. The paper target with a loved ones name and a commitment to take the target to them afterwards provides some accountability :)
