Rise thread! Rise out of the ashes! I call you back from the dead to serve my bidding!:evil: (giggle) Ok, I have been a member here for a while, but the last thread I posted on about the subject of looking at a holistic approach to martial arts including firearms, how to keep them and...

This seems to sum up the situation nicely. We all know that there are limitations to airsoft. If you use airsoft game rules, you are not training. But you can use it to do things you can't do with live firearms. And if you balance it with as many other forms of training, you will be better...

I am actually in a country right now that bans the possession of pistols as well as most forearms. Because of my status, I am not allowed to own anything. What I have around the house is just about every other weapon ever used by man. Sticks are good. Sticks can be laid anywhere in the...

Where do I register my finger if every time someone pulls it, another part of my anatomy goes off?:evil:

I think we are more on the same line of thought than we differ. From all I know, if you try to use a deadly weapon with the intent of not trying to kill (i.e. shooting to wound) then you are in trouble. You have to be willing to kill the other guy. That does not mean that you have to kill...

It is a summation of what Ayoob says. If you are using a deadly weapon on someone, you have to be using it to kill them. If you use a deadly weapon with the intent to wound, that is not justified IIRC. The possibility of killing someone must be on the table to be justified to use a deadly...

To make it clearer, if you use a deadly weapon (gun and pistol) you are justified in using it most times only if you have determined that you need to kill the other guy. You have lost control of the situation so much that you think your life is in danger and the only option open to you is to...

I can understand your feelings, but it is still better than dying. Think about the risk to your life compared to the trouble someone might cause with your wallet. It really is not worth the risk of your life. The trouble also does not justify taking someone else's life, at least in the eyes...

Taking responsibility for your words and saying that I probably do not understand because you worded it unclearly is very admirable. However, I might have had a part in not understanding :uhoh: and I am also reacting to what others are saying here. It depends. If you had thrown the wallet...

Spend any time on a forum where lethal weapons, especially knives, are the main focus and you will run across many cases of violence geeks. Oh, and this guy has stabbed people with knives and other sharp objects. How many people that talk about shooting someone have done the same? Well said...

Oh? This sounds like a robbery gang to me. In other words, people who rob others for their living. Crips and Bloods don't seem to make a lot of money off of armed robbery. Beware trying to say what you would have done. You admit that you have never been there, and how difficult it is to say...

If that is the case, that shooting you reduces the risk on one hand to overcome the greater interest on the other, then why aren't more people being killed by robbers? And if the guy intends to shoot you anyways, why not do it first? The wilding case is a good example of injury and then...

Having the attacker wear motorcycle helmets and thick leather jackets in this sort of airsoft drill is a big help. The guy attacking can't feel the round hit the helmet, but the judge can hear pretty well. One drill we have done is a complete failure drill. In other words, no matter how many...

Sounds like an example of Mark Twain's saying that there are lies, damn lies and statistics. Where in these figures would a case where someone was attacked prior to the demand for money fall into? A case could be a 'wilding' where a group of youths surround someone and suddenly attack. They...

There is a chance they could be caught without further boodshed. Even if that is not the case, you seem to be advocating vigilante justice. The first responsibility in this situation is to get home alive with those you love. If you want to do more to stop people like this, join the police...
