Denny Hansen says it best : Stay Low and watch your back
In this instance, distance was his friend. Been nice to of had cover, still moving targets are "less" likely to get hit.
I know this is a firearm forum, still the firearm is not the "end all - do all" answer to every friggin' situation, it is one of the tools in the toolbox.
Me? Crossfire with gangbangers? Add Rioters slinging lead every which-a-way. Yep, BTDT and...
I have dived into ditch and crawled, , have beat feet and dove under a house, and kept crawling thru to the next house...
I have been pulled into a slowed down moving pickup truck and hoisted up and into into it. I was a kid.
Get bigger, and State Regs, signage and metal detector said no guns...halfway to my vehicle, just outside the door, sidewalk width, have shots ring out with crossfire. I hugged my vehicle front tire, LEO officer and my wife still in the bulding doorway " get back now" - he tossed me his BUG ( I ain't packing, I open my door and interior light is coming on, I ain't ready to give anyone else something to sling shots at). He gets the wife inside and down hugging the floor, calls the Calvary, and when the Calvary comes - he covers to let me back into the building. I could not go anywhere because of where all the folk were slinging lead.
I ran a red light in Ohio getting of the freeway at the wrong time ....left turn on red seemed like a good idea.
Went around the barrier in Mississppi, blew thru a lot in Memphis near St, Jude's, Skittered across the parking lot in Dallas after the damn front wheel drive rental car would not "hop" a itty bitty parking stop ( I detest front wheel drive for evasive measures) and used a cement ditch to run like hell after exiting the rental car.
When you are in a house, and the drive by happens, hit the deck and crawl to bathroom to put a kid inside it.
One always has their brain - train the brain . Distance , cover, don't just bring hands to face and stand their wide eyed , mouth open and "oh, oh, oh".
Stay low and watch your back - Denny
