After a rather ridiculous conversation with an Anti Gun Advocate (See That I can be kind) about shoot to wound instead of shoot to stop a threat. I found myself reflecting on the conversation and I had to ask:
Can a person Shoot an Attacker with a firearm and 100% guarantee that the injuries Do Not Result in Death? Is there a proven technique for shooting another human being in a manner that they will not under any circumstance, die?
In my conversation I heard a LOT about shoot in the leg or arm. Use a different kind of non lethal ammo.
I just canât come up with amethod that is guaranteed not to end in death.
Too many variables. Think simply about a blood thinner. Shooter could never know. Act on what you knowâŠwhich is usually trying to not be killed by a baddie.
Iâd say something about blanks, but, that isnât âshooting the attackerâ, as that seems to require a projectile, discharged by a âfirearmâ, hits the attacker.
There is no 100% guarantee a person shot with a firearm will not die. There is also no 100% guarantee a person shot with a firearm will stop their attack immediately.
Few things are guaranteed in life.
People who would even bring up âshoot to woundâ have simply shown their ignorance on the topicâŠeducate them as best you can/as much as they are willing to accept it.
And âless lethalâ ammo is pretty unreliable at stopping determined attackers, especially out of a handgun.
100% agree. I had to have the âbut, with as much training as you have, canât you just shoot them in the leg?!?â conversation a few days ago. In what part of the leg? if you shoot them in the thigh and sever the femoral, they are pretty much still a goner unless they are in the ER parking lot. The world is not the movies and no one i know is john wick lol
depending on the round, if you shatter the pelvis they are still pretty much dead. there are a crazy amount of major blood vessels in the pelvic girdle. If you just shoot them in the flesh of the outer butt cheek then you have not stopped the threat AND you just shot them from behind. neither are going to work out for you in the end.
Sucks to ponder about not hurting an attacker when they wonât have second thoughts about harming me and mine.
My first CCW instructor said something that stayed with me, that of becoming an outcast if I survived an attack, through no fault of my own, and ended up causing the death of another.
I often wonder, being surrounded by âwokeâ folks, what would I say when asked,
âHow does it feel to kill someone?â
Iâm sure it would feel good to be alive, beats the alternative.
there is a crazy video of a store being robbed a few years back where the guard puts a .357 round through the guys neck. He is literally gysering blood in arterial spray 6 feet across the room. Still proceeds to kill the guard after the guards revolver went dry. Perp died of the wound, but it did not save the guards life. its pretty wild how long the guy continues to fight before blood loss finally puts him on the floor.
NOPE! The Keister, is where some bad guys Brains are, INSTANT DEATH !
But I found a HEAD SHOT to be pretty FATALâonce again that is taking into consideration these
people have any brains, And with them being the aggressor that whole Theory is probably out the window.
If that isnât an illustration of a âfailure to stopâ and why a CNS disabling hit is the only sure wayâŠnothing else.
I donât think Iâve ever seen video clearly showing that much blood loss, and still trying to kill someone.
Maybe it being on white tile and all the moving around spreading it makes it look like more than some others where itâs a singular poolâŠIDK man thatâs a lot to lose and keep going
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! The Red trail of death! Follow like a Deer!
and WHY WHY WHY do they HAVE to go into the revolving doors?
Think of the poor Maintenance guys/Gals who have to clean that sh** !
the Carotid of death⊠Good Job.
I am NOT Violent, Iâm blood thirsty⊠thereâs a difference!
