>>I forget the precise outcome but on “Firefly”, the Captain at one point basically shoots a gun out of a bad guy’s hand (or some such amazing feat).
>>The Captain’s crewmate says, “Nice shot!”
>>The captain replies: “I was aiming for his head.”

That was Jayne, firing under the influence, not Mal.

So I can’t shoot the gun out of his hand?

Well, if you're the Waco Kid....

Maybe he was shooting for the foot and he is a bad shot

Well duh. That’s why you shoot them in their pinky toe. Gotta be a crack shot though.

I hope this guy puts signs in his idiot neighbors’ yards:

This is a proud gun-free home!

I recently sold my S&W Model 460V. It only had a five shot capacity. On the other hand (LOL!) a single .460 S&W Magnum round would probably take off several fingers.

“You’re making a hero out of a rapist ... and your excuse for doing so is that he committed rape. That tells me everything I need to know about you.”

No, you apparently are not understanding my position.

I am saying these two men are alive because the victim choose to tie the robbers up and rape them instead of killing them. I am not excusing him because he was a gay rapist, in the past.

OK. Do you defend his decision to rape them? Was that a good thing for him to do? Does that constitute self defense?

I commend any occasion of mercy from a victim.

Don’t you?

Subduing them and tying them up was an act of mercy.

That should have been followed by calling the police to take them away.

Instead, he chose to rape them. Repeatedly.

That was NOT an act of mercy, and only a truly depraved and evil person would think otherwise. It was a horrible, violent crime.

Of course you can! I'd recommend two to center mass and one to the head first, though.

So, you think Jack Bauer and all of those other persons in the movies and in real life who clearly break major laws, even murder, against criminals should all be in jail or killed?

>If you shoot them in the leg and sever the artery, they’re dead.

Step 1: Shoot perp in leg.
Step 2: Get knife and sever artery.
Got it!

I think they did it on Firefly too, but it was the Jayne character taking the shot.

Don’t be surprised if it shows up on Fillion’s new cop show too, lol.
