youre gonna rush somebody with a Glock 45 caliber?....really?
Between reloads and you KNOW he is hell bent on killing everyone, Yeah!
Is that what he used? Please show the citation. Since he "reloaded several times" I was thinking he used a revolver...
Absolutely! I'll even take it a step further ....I will rush someone armed with a Kalashnikov.
Why?
Because I am Kenyan, and I have seen what terrorists do to their victims. Compliance simply means they kill you at their leasure. They will not negotiate, they have no mercy, and their plan is to kill as many people as possible before they're taken out. Which means one simple thing ...there is nothing to lose in rushing them! Since they plan on killing you anyway, you might as well give yourself an iota of a chance. After all, compliance only means death. The last couple of attacks, in particular the university attack, has absolutely changed the way such scenarios as perceived. Before it was compliance. Now it is fighting back, even if the tools are teeth and knuckles. If they plan on killing you anyway you might as well try something.
Fortunately I am one of the few armed Kenyans (a Glock 19 that cost 2,500 bucks due to the local market), but the important shift has been mindset.
For this chap the same mindset should have applied, and should apply in the future. Whether the terrorist is a Jihadi or a black gangbanger or a white skinhead ....same application. This person or people, are out to kill you! There is nothing at all to lose in fighting back, and fighting back hard.
Does it matter that it is a Glock vs a Sig, Smith & Wesson, Beretta, H&K, Colt, or Taurus shooting a .45 ACP vs. a 9mm parabellum?
