I would pass a law saying that pistols are illegal. That way a pistol would never be pointed at me. /s
Just point a finger gun at him and the cops will arrest YOU, NOT HIM.
What if they are aiming sideways (gangsta style)?
Hmm, so sticking a finger in the barrel is a no-no, I take it?
Dang cartoons, they don’t teach you anything useful!
In this situation, my own, personal plan is to cry a lot and piss myself.
Don’t know if it’ll work, but....
Also, it’d have to be a white guy aiming the gun. Blacks aim it sideways so whacking them on the wrist won’t work.
Especially if he is holding it high up over his head.
As a woman, I have thought about this a lot. I think you guys are “over-thinking” here.
Men tend to get up close to a woman to control her while they stand off from other men. I don’t have to disarm and shoot the guy. Just preventing myself from getting a head shot and disrupting his pattern may save me.
Criminals usually visualize their attacks. Any important disruption derails their concept. I’m not saying some guy won’t press on with the attack and kill the woman but every unusual element works in the victim’s favor.
The Lone Ranger used to look over the shoulder of the thug holding the pistol and act as though there were someone standing in back of him - when the thug was momentarily distracted and maybe even glanced to see what was going on, LR would grab the gun and clobber him - worked every time.....
