Coyote

Coyote, oops you're right, shoot only until the threat changes, however a sniper doesn't waste rounds... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> My daddy always taught me not to waste ammunition. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> In his day a .22 round was serious investment in dinner.

I would never shoot twice, but I was never taught that. I'm a hip shot, I don't need no stinking sights. I never even see my sights unless I'm target shooting at a range. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

No you haven't come across wrong, and I understand the sentiment "I'd rather it was him than me". My wife made the same statement tonight so I was able to grill her about just what she meant. Her idea was a very theoretical concept not grounded in any tactical reality. I explained to her that this post was about using deadly force. She actually had never thought about details like rules of engagement. Mentally she could do it, but she had no ideas about how. She is totally unprepared planning wise.

All I'm really asking is that you folks who do carry should be prepared if you ever intend to use them.
