As I stated before on this thread some people are really living in a world of false security and die hard movies.
...
These were suicidal terrorist with hand grenades and fully automatic rifles.
Has anybody here got hit by fully auto AK-47 fire and tried to respond with a handgun?
[TBL checks self for holes and/or missing limbs. No wounds or scars noted.
Decides to respond to the new guy:]
I can say I've never been hit by AK-47 fire or any other small arms round
(other than some ricochets during practice), or ever caught a fragment in my
flesh from a rocket, mortar, or IED. Thank, God. Really. What's your point?
You will be surprised to learn that some of us here are current and former
military members, cops, security contractors, and a few Joe 6-packs who've
actually seen, been in, and put a stop to the things that you only see happen
on TV. Quite frankly, what just happened in India could happen all over Iraq
every single day, but much of it is put to a stop very quickly --and not just
by soldiers, but by regular Iraqis themselves at times. Difference between
Iraqis and the average Indian is
the Iraqi populace is fully armed.
I'm the one here on THR who said not too long ago that strapping claws to a
sheep doesn't make it a predator or even a capable protector of his fellow
sheep. In this world the large majority of people
are sheep (or maybe they're
cows when trampling workers at a big box store?), there are packs of hungry
wolves, and there are a few good sheepdogs. That said, there are a lot of
sheepdogs here on THR. There is going to be some barking here. Get use
to it if you plan on staying.
However:
If just talking about fighting back scares the cr@p out of you, then there's
nothing I can tell you other than to keep your head low and stay out of the
way when the wolves and sheepdogs are involved in a fight. In the meantime,
I will
NOT be leaving my throat or the throats of my family bare for the wolf
to sink his teeth into. I don't care one iota if that makes
you uncomfortable.
Got that?
There are plenty of military vets, police officers and "others" who have tons
of stories, pics, experience, etc. which they've shared on THR. Sit back and
read some more of them before you respond. You might learn something
which could protect you and your family.
If what you take away is that you're not up to it, then I'll reiterate again for
you to stay out of the way. Teeth and claws are dangerous.
