Are you a Democrat, a Republican, or a Southerner?
Here is a little test that will help you decide.
The answer can be found by posing the following question:
You're walking down a deserted street with your wife
and two small children.
Suddenly, an Islamic Terrorist with a huge knife
comes around the corner, locks eyes with you,
screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the
knife, and charges at you.
You are carrying a Kimber 1911 cal. 45 ACP, and you are an expert shot.
You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What
do you do?
...............................................................
THINK CAREFULLY AND THEN SCROLL DOWN:
Democrat's Answer:
Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!
Does the man look poor or oppressed?
Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire
him to attack?
Could we run away?
What does my wife think?
What about the kids?
Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock
the knife out of his hand?
What does the law say about this situation?
Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it?
Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind
of message does this send to society and to my children?
Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me?
Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be
content just to wound me?
If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my
family get away while he was stabbing me?
Should I call 9-1-1?
Why is this street so deserted?
We need to raise taxes, have paint and weed day and
make this happier, healthier street that would
discourage such behavior.
This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with
some friends for few days and try to come to a consensus.

Republican's Answer:
BANG!

Southerner's Answer:
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
BANG! Click..... (Sounds of reloading)
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
BANG! Click
Daughter: "Nice grouping, Daddy! Were those the
Winchester Silver Tips or Hollow Points?"
Son: "Can I shoot the next one!"
Wife: "You ain't taking that to the Taxidermist!
One shot! one kill!
WE don't wast ammo!
Why waste ammo? I may just rip your gut open with my Swiss Army knife!
Dead men cannot walk, so I'm sure they cannot use a knife.
But whoever wrote this silly story should have left out the expert marksman when he got to the second are third bang!
Democrats’ alternate answer:
Hey buddy, how’s your endorsement for me going?
Or...
Everyone you’ve killed recently is voting for me, right?
Extra bullets = added deterrence. There always another creep around.
Nice in theory, but tell it to the expert New Mexico marksman who grabbed his .45 to take out a crazy with an AK doing a mass shooting.
Bam! The bad guy went down on the other side of a car. The marksman turned to go around the car and make sure he was out, when bam, bam, bam, the bad guy popped back up and nailed him. As the good guy was down by the curb, the bad guy walked up to him and finished him with a shot to the head.
It turns out the bad guy was wearing body armor.
Keep shooting until the threat is down and no longer a threat. Don’t assume that just because they go down, that they are out of the fight.
I assume you are a cop? I have never seen anyone get up from a shot to the head.
I was an officer for a while. Now I teach a concealed weapons course for fun and profit, among many other things.
Many people have been shot in the head and been able to keep fighting. Head shots are difficult to make, and uncertain because the skull is tough enough that many pistol bullets will be deflected if the angle of impact is oblique enough. There have even been cases where the bullet entered the skin on one side of the head, traveled between the skin and the skull to the other side of the head, and exited. And, yes, there have even been cases where a .45 to the head glanced off.
Head shots tend to be decisive, but caution is always called for when you are in a deadly fight for your life.
My granddaughter would say "Nice shot, Papa".
Never turn your back on an assailant, down or not. Not until you see the toe tag tied on or the bag zipped up.
