I also guess you know more than LAPD officers who've in real life gone up against bad guys (have you?), I guess you know more than firearms trainers with former Special Forces experience, all of whom would laugh in your face.
No, I wasn't born a paranoid freak. But the older I get and the more I see on forums such as this one, the more I realize that, just like there really and truly are freaks who will take a gun into a theater and start shooting, there really are political agents of disinformation. Because I know for a fact that you are dead wrong and that what you claim has the ultimate result of convincing people that guns won't protect them, I can't help but be sensible enough to at least consider the possibility that you're a shill.

Odd. My son-in-law killed a number of people in Iraq, and he agrees with me. And no, I’ve never met a cop who thought I was wrong. I know of very few deer blown off their feet. Most ran some ways.
Of course, deer don’t wear bullet proof vests, but more than one has absorbed all the energy from a 30-06 without being knocked down or staggered.
Did you bother to read what the FBI teaches their agents? Did you understand any of it? Or did you blow it off because your “truly expert firearms professional friends” think the FBI is stupid?
And what makes you think the 45 is magic? Why a 45, and not a 357? Is that the flavor of the month among your gun shop gurus?
