What he did was actually more risky, life threatening than what I would've accomplished with the use of a firearm and a couple of rounds. All he would have had to do was pick up the gun and lean it up against something some where out of his reach.(04-24-2018, 10:49 PM)Classic-Xer Wrote:(04-22-2018, 03:45 PM)Bob Butler 54 Wrote: I wonder who is crazier, the guy running around nude with an assault rifle, or the Waffle House customer that takes him on without a weapon? You expect the shooter to be crazy?
Oh, the guy who took on the guy with the gun physically, was not only crazy, he was stupid, thoughtless and uncaring as far as thinking about who might have been shot and injured during the struggle too.
What's crazy is to think that you can protect yourself and others by carrying a gun and getting into a shootout.
The hero was wise to hide and then attack while the crazy shooter was reloading. That probably doesn't always work, because magazines are so big now, but it might be a useful lesson if anyone can ever get into the right position and attitude to apply it.
The more guns are around, the more of them can be stolen and used by criminals. Most guns used in crime are stolen. That also means owners must store their guns where they can't be stolen. Which by the way does not make them handy for your proposed shootout with a supposed intruder.
