You're not Rambo. Watch as these CCL holders encounter a 'gunman' and proceed to shit the bed.A handgun is marginal in any dangerous situation. Add that to the fact that most people don't have a clue as to how difficult it is to actually hit something with one.

That is why I keep a Mossberg 12 gage pump by my bed. I hope to God that I never have to use it.
I relayed this story a couple of months ago on this Forum. I had stopped at the local Mexican Chicken place on the way home from work. As I was getting in my truck, 4 young Black Men were strolling down the sidewalk. One approached me, and asked for some money. I declined, and his reply was, "hey old man, why you gotta be that way.
This kid could not have been a day over 19, but I had a bad feeling, and had already reached in my truck's console and had my hand on the revolver I carry there. He said something else, and one one of his friends said, "hey, leave that old dude alone".
He did, and they continued down the street.
But, to this day, I still am very thankful that this did not escalate. I have never been one to back down from anything, but I also shudder at the thought of having to shoot someone. Originally Posted by Jackie S

"Defensive" shooting is not "taking someone's life" ... it is stopping the threat.Is that your new "tactic" LLIdiot? Use quotation marks on everything instead of ever actually saying something useful?
As for the "video proof" that licensed carriers "shit their pants" ...
.... review the video again to see the female "target practicing" ... her eyes.
Then look at all of them .... "target practicing" ... shooting the paper. Originally Posted by LexusLover

The video is only advocating for much (much!) stricter training for CCL holders.
We are not a group of college students, some of us have a little more life experience from the military etc.
I can assure you that I will not shit my pants and my friends and I have more experience than a lecture with our firearms Again I pray to God that I never have to shoot anyone but conversely practice in case I do. Originally Posted by gladius82
