Have you fired a firearm before? If yes, are you proficient? In attempting to “shoot the knife out of his hand” the officer might have missed and hit someone else or missed all together and then the perp might have killed the officer. There is little time to act. What you suggest only happens in fictitious spaghetti westerns.

The whole idea of shooting a weapon out of the hand of a person is truly false. Certainly Annie Oakley might have been able to do it but then again she was shooting at inanimate object that don't shoot back stab the person. When life and only seconds are available the office has to act and act sometimes with deadly force.

‘Ya mean ya just can’t wingum’?

Are you trying to tell me—
that the cowboy riding through the gulch with 20 bad guys on the ‘top’ with rifles, firing DOWN on him (well they couldn’t hit him because the horse was moving) and the rider, galloping at full pace, a six shooter in each hand, picking the guys off the ridge with his 12 bullets shooting about 40 bad guys—

didn’t really happen?.

OH, another myth of childhood shot down the drain... HA HA

She was cheating. She fired little shotgun shells out of her pistols.
