That would be my choice. Shoot whoever is delivering the threat and immediately scan the others for additional threat.
Well said ... And I'm firmly in the "AllOut camp" too ...
That's what I was looking for, thanks.
This would have been my choice. He (the driver) was in easy pistol range when he came around the front of our boat right in our lights. I was sitting right up front. He was literally less then 10" from the front of our boat while circling us.
But he had 5 other people in the boat with him. Looked like another guy up front with him, a guy and a chick in the middle and two chicks in the back that looked scared to death and were telling the driver to stop. To me that was to many people around to just shoot....
But if I felt I really had to in order to save me and my friends lives, you bet your ass I'd of picked off the driver.
No we didn't call LE, like stated above it'd of taken them how long to get there??? Middle of the night remember. Not to mention I was more worried with paying attention to what this dumb ass was doing instead of looking for a way to take down his registration # or digging through the dry storage to find my phone. I'd of much rather tried to defend us then drown with my phone in my hand.
Life jackets.....
It's BowFishing, yes we have them in the boat. But like Okie said, not really feasible to wear. And again, my attention was on the drunk idiot. I wasn't gonna take my eyes off him while I dug around trying to out one on.
I wonder why some of y'all even carry a firearm.....
By y'all's responses, Not like you'd ever use it anyway.
I imagine it's the "cool factor"...
I for dang sure wasn't saying you did wrong. I know exactly what your talking about and throw your ladies into the deal and it goes past an ass whopping in a hurry.
I would have use a gun in this situation if I feared for my life and especially my wife and kid. BUT I think use of the gun could have been effective without firing a shot...I know dont pull it unless your gonna use it, bla bla bla but the drunk looking down the barrel of a .45 would have made him change direction and you know he's not callin the cops, hes going into flight mode with soiled drawers. He might have even crashed into the shore trying to flee which would have been justice enough for me.
