ORIGINAL: tazzygirl quote:
Guy without rock stepping toward angry guy with gun who has already fired shots equates to terminally stupid. 1 You do not approach an angry person pointing a firearm he has already fired, you back away from him, minimizing your threat to his person. 2 You do not try to use rocks against an angry person who has already discharged a firearm. Except that the one who got shot was the one who stepped in between man with gun and man with rock, protecting both from the other. I think you missed a part of my post immediately above those two points. quote:
Guy without rock stepping toward angry guy with gun who has already fired shots equates to terminally stupid. Unless you are trained to negotiate with someone holding a gun, you do not approach the angry man with a gun who has already fired the damn thing. In fact, even if you are trained to negotiate with an armed individual, if he has already discharged the gun, stay the fuck away from him. There is a term for this type of armed individual "Dangerous." Doing anything other than what the angry guy with a gun told you to do, in this case get off his property, was in a word stupid. This has nothing to do with the fact I support gun ownership, it has to do with common sense. The guy that did the shooting is criminally liable, but the people that didn't leave the area and chose to stay and argue property rights and whatever else were not using common sense. Sorry, but unlike what you see in the movies or on tv, you do not debate anything with an armed individual unless it is how high do you want us to jump or are we getting off your property fast enough. I have a carry permit, and even when I am armed, I am not going to argue with a drawn gun. I dont know anyone that can draw and fire faster than a guy already pointing a gun at you can fire his. People pointing guns at people do not play by the same rules as unarmed folks. Their set of rules boils down to, I have the gun, so it is my rules we play by, in which, if I get pissed off enough, I can pull the fucking trigger.
