As usual....I need to go to FR to hear about this. Of course, FR picks it up on the wire from the UK....not in the US MSM.
Bump...Condolences to his family and friends.
A lot of liberals on other sites were bashing this guy. Their preferred method of self-defense is to pee themselves and beg for mercy.
I hope that the LV PD will send a representative to this man’s funeral. God bless him.
Never assume an active shooter is alone.
Unfortunately he broke the number one rule during a shooting and that is two search for an accomplice.
He’s still a HERO in my book though.
God bless this good man... and NO his death was not senseless - he was attempting to take down monsters... It's how humankind has kept monsters at bay throughout history.
Mst CCW types woul probably have actedin a similar manner. Seasoned warriors too. However, we must think way past “get the bad guy”, and get our rage under control. Identifying, assessing and engaging targets is a mechanical, precise routine that only those who have done it many times can do with aplomb.
God bless men like this guy.
I know that haivg been downrange a few tines, had close calls in the world, I find myself thinking scentarios through more deeply, then deciding on a best case course of action, often that being hunker down and wait to the cards within reason, then playingmy and as violently and as precisely as possible.
A couple of thought: how many bad guys are there? , do you know how to scan? How much ammo and of what caliber do you tote? What weapon ( a belly gun or a fighting weapon) do you choose to carry, do you carry all the time? How often do you shoot under stress? ( scenario driven tactical stuff, not bullseye ( although BE makes you a very careful shot).
Do you wear armor? Yes, it is relatively expensive, hard to wear regularly, but may indeed save your life when things go Nicaragua on you.
Hazard/Exposure/ probability= risk characterization, risk management is where solutions are developed, then employed and hopefully, are effective.
It ain’t a once a month concept folks. When it happens, it will change your life, no matter what the outcome.
