I learned something very discouraging tonight. A young man who is friends with my cousin was shot 7 times locally with a 9mm gun a close range. I am not 100% certain it was what he described it(9mm FMJ) as this was told to me second hand from my cousin. He was in bad shape but only hours after and he was sewn up he was talking about the shooting. He was hit five times from his neck down to his abdomen from behind and two went in the arm. I am guessing it was FMJ as they apparently went through him including one that was described as coming out the front and spilling intestines with it. The nurse said they pushed it all back in. Is this the luckiest kid alive here or do people take that many rounds of 9mm and live to tell about it? He said after he was shot the first 4 times he didn't feel it at first and only after the last three he went down. He later "woke up" and realized the shooter was coming back to make sure he was dead and had to hide in a ditch filled with water to hide. That is a lot to go through be able to move on your own. It now has me worried if I'm not carrying enough gun. Is there that huge a difference in hollow point and FMJ destruction? Some people on here say they carry FMJ and it seems like this would be a warning sign to stop and start carrying hollow points.
Also, apparently the shooter who is still "loose" out there also recently did a shooting at another random person just out in front of the street where I live. This kind of got me worried about if what I was carrying was sufficient. I like the 9mm because it is very controllable and my impression was it's better to hit with a smaller bullet than miss with a big one. I want to move now, this sucks.
Am I just being a worry wart and should I just remain calm as long as I have loaded hollow points?
