[QUOTE="druryj, post: 3258467, member: 10465"] And I absolutely agree with and understand what you're saying. There is an infinite amount of variables to consider in a very short time in a situation involving a BGWAG. Are you with loved ones or are you alone? Where are you? Where is he? Can you make positive ID of the BGWAG ? Is he acting alone? Does he have a handgun? Semi-auto rifle? Shotgun? Did he run in to rob the place and run out, or is he here to shoot as many as he can? Do you have a clean shot? What is happening [I]right now[/I]? CAN YOU PULL THE TRIGGER ON ANOTHER PERSON? There are just way too many factors to list here, it basically boils down to making a spit second call and taking action. We can only prepare to a set point, then all else happens as the situation unfolds. My years of training and background as an Infantry Officer and Force Recon Marine taught me that a good plan violently executed right NOW beats a perfect plan executed later in most cases. But my age and health, has slowed me some, and my reflexes and eyes are not quite what they used to be...and I'm no longer crawling through windows prepared to kill someone while searching for Intel...I am now just a senior citizen trying to get through another day. I didn't come here to get in a gun fight; I came to get a dozen eggs and a lemon cake mix and some coffee creamer and some of those fancy paper plates with the blue flowers around the edge that the wife likes... I [I]have [/I]established a bottom line though: I will above all else ensure that my wife and loved ones are protected. That is my priority. After that, well if I ABSOLUTELY KNOW THEY ARE SAFE, then, Mr. BGWAG, then we shall see. It's one of the factors I mention above among the many that are too many to list. [/QUOTE]
