From what I saw it wasn't perfect but fairly effective. He quick reaction to the robber pulling his weapon prevented him from gaining a point of aim on the clerk, and abled the clerk to pull his own weapon. Reaching for the firearm also caused the robber to put the weapon behind his back and...

When i retire in 3 years, I will be having my last home built. I plan on using insultated concrete forms for the exterior and some interior walls. Initially I was looking at it for safety from natural disasters (Tornados) and its energy saving properties, some say about 1/2 heating and cooling...

The Moderator had it right...There are the different corners that the people are going to get in. You have the call 911 dont do anything crowd, the I am going to stand up against evil crowd, and the I'm going to wait for my move crowd. There may be a couple more but always seems to be the big...

How does dashing prevent you from being ambushed? It doesn't. If the BG is planning an ambush he is going to ambush if you "DASH" or clear your way to said location. At least if you a clearing you have the ability to put some well placed shots on target.

I can think of several reasons to use less than leathal. If you have a daughter and you check on her in the middle of the night and you see a her boyfriends naked as climbing out the window. You may want to kill him but probably not the best of ideas. I am sure glad he didnt have a gun. Peole...

Yep probably would have been real ugly when that 1 + ton bullet, being driven by a police officer, runs him over. Defending his fellow police officer.

With all the what if senarios I have read on this sight I thought I might post one of my own. One night after the final showing of (insert movie name here) you are walking to your car and you observe a commotion by a vehicle, there is a man and a women fighting. As you get closer you...

My dad started me at about age 4-5 with a 22lr. He instilled alot of good traits that I still maintain today. It took away the curiosity and mistasism away from the guns. When I was 14 had a 9 year old cousin shoot and kill his twin brother "playing" guns. They were not taught how to...

That depends on what the laws in your state say. In several states if you are found to be justified in the shooting you are immune to criminal and civil prosecution. Thats not to say they may not try, but at least in some states if they do you get it back. In Oklahoma Again it goes back to...

Wow! Did you even read the post or just my sarcastic remarks? Reason I ask is that most if not all the remarks you made were addressed in my original post. Can't say that I do, and again can't see where you got that from if you read the entire post. My sarcastic comments along with the...

Nope never been.

If your building your home, how about ICF. Good security benifits as well as others. Mylar films on windows, not bullet proof, but if installed correctly can effectively prevent or slow down intruders getting through the windows. Strong locks are not that effective if you have a weak door and...

Things I have learned reading recent posts. 1.Point Shooting is a joke...only good for trick shooters...oh and you will go to jail 2.Don't shoot at people breaking into your home until they are completely inside your home, you know why they are breaking into your home, and made sure that...

Hum what is the best self defense course? It is one that you learn from. I have yet to go thru a course of training that I agreed with every thing they trained, or felt that some portion of the training was not for me. I have also not been to a course that I have not learned something. Take...

Up till a couple of weeks ago, I kept my pistol on my shelf in my room. I have always felt safe in my home. I felt I had pretty quick access if I needed it, but didn't feel the need to have it on my hip. A couple of weeks ago I got a knock on the door at about 1030 at night. I ran to get...

It will be unlikely that you will ever have to take a shot at a distance so just practice at the 7 yard line. Thats where you will be involved in a shooting you know. Never practice advancing on a target either as most of the time you will be retreating. Never practice a reload either as most...

I have a simple mindset that I will be the one going home at the end of it all. If that requires me to avoid/retreat, so be it. If that requires me to attack the threat, so be it as well. Every situation is going to require different reactions or combination of reactions. Although they...

:banghead: Does your state have a duty to retreat law? Even if it did, I bet that there are some exclusions to it as well. I guess failure drills are out witness testimony might state that you executed him by shooting him in the head. Hollow points are out too because the only reason a...

and simular statements have been going around. I can think of numerous situations where I am going to attack the threat and not retreat, seek cover or seperate myself from the attacker. One example: A man or men breaking into my home. I am going down the hall checking on/securing my...

I would like to say thanks to Matt. I have read through the posts and there was alot of talk of self promoting. Even if he is who cares. He is one of the very few people that I have seen in this board who will actually talk about the training he provides and believes in and will even provide...
