What it is is what it is. I am sure you will keep the door locked when you have your pants around your ankles next time. I trust NO ONE who pulls a gun on me to have mercy so I rely on movement while I deploy. Usually scum bags don't practice marksmanship and moving targets are very difficult to master. Of course there is allways the golden BB with your name on it, but then the Gyro could have killed you .
a few decades back someone pulled a gun on me from about 15 feet away when I was a Federal Narc. I had a snubby on my belt under a light jacket. I called out to someone behind the perp who wasn't there and in the second he glanced back I pulled as I stepped and crouched and pulled and one round hit his thigh , one his stomach and one his arm and one missed. Fortunately those 110 grain +p+ .38 loads must hurt because he collapsed screaming and it was very hard for me not to put one in the downed perp's head as I had recently done to sappers in da Nam. As it was I was somewhat chastised for not identifying myself and asking him to drop the gun! Because of this he was sent back to his home in Jamaica in his wheel chair with a coloscopy bag as they felt that was easier in the racially charged atmosphere of NJ in the middle 70s.
A couple years ago someone tried to jack me at a deserted ATM with a quick get out of a waiting car. I had a snub .38 in a jacket pocket as he closed to about 15 feet, I screamed at him to get back and I guess he rightfully perceived this old white haired man was not attracted to him ith the growing bulge in the jacket and he retreated to the car screaming back at me in a meth voice he wasn't scared of me. My finger was tightening on the trigger when he approached and the DA pull would have happened by 6 feet, he had a black colored weapon of some sort, prolly a pipe .
Actually because of legal issues in today's stupid age the best outcome is no gunplay, but like I say a gun to my head is an untenable position and yes I have paid people like Louis Awerbuck to teach me choices if that did occur.
