Shot Placement?

This is false. About 1 min till BP drops to stop the brain function. How many stabs or fatal blows can be landed in 1 min…

Most self defense shootings are resolved with 2-4 rounds. Should you be ready for more? That’s really up to the conceal carry permit holder.

Like you said, I’d someone is hyped up on drugs. You could need more. I say the good thing about being a civilian, is if a few shots slow them down, we are able to run away, we’re as an LEO has to stay and resolve the situation.

If you have young kids with you, there is no running away. Wherever you are with that stroller, you are backed into the corner.

Shooting the pelvic girdle is a good choice. You can get an immediate movement stop. But it really comes down to what’s behind your target. So in my mind I take the one with lowest chance of endangering others.

That would justify a straight to the head shot.

I can’t really think of a position I’m ever put in where I’m backed into the corner with a stroller. That being said, I choose to carry what I believe to be enough to survive a fight if put in a pickle like you mention.

I like that.
Although I couldn’t help but think… what a big disparity there is between a small fight and a big one.
I’m not carrying a full combat load. I can’t justify it.

Thanks for you response. What I posted regarding a where you aim and shoot is based on my training we follow our training it keeps us safe and defends us in the legal system. I have been trained by and with Lethal Force Institute, Hank Reinhard knife counter knife. American Society of Law Enforcement Trainers, NRA and Gun Owners Action League, EMT training Salem State, others. We are all getting training good training with USCCA.

The USCCA has a good training on this. I knew some one would GO to Google training. So I checked. Both are true but different. the brain will stop in 1 min and brain being able to" function" to stand and fight will stop immediately they fall to the ground a stop.

That is done if you get no reaction they have a bulletproof vest on shoot head or below belt pelvis

I’ve never heard someone at the end of a firefight complain about he had to much ammo.

Try carrying around a 240 and a couple of ammo cans everywhere and see if he still has no complaints.

If he still had all of that after everywhere. He didn’t get into any firefights. But when the fecal matter hit the impellor blade at speed. I’m willing to bet he was glad to have every single round

Your sorces are very impressive. I can refer you to the video and account of Drejka/McGlockton confrontation, a well publicized case. Mr McGlockton suffered a shot to the heart with a .40, you can see him place his hand on the wound, and you can see he was able to run about 30 ft, and speak with people in the convenience store before he collapsed.

There are plenty of examples of people who took many rounds that would eventually be fatal but continued to fight for a while. Tim Grammins and Jared Reston are two examples

I was listening to an old video from Tu today and he was talking about putting two rounds in somebody and they’re still standing. But shooting two rounds was what he was trained for and he realized he needed to put more rounds on the combatant.

1984 I heard about a guy on Angel Dust( PCP) was shot 104 times before becoming incapacitated. He later died at the hospital.

Just another thought!
