Stopping Force vs Deadly Force

Yes, a lot can happen in 5 seconds. The Tueller rule says someone can reach you in 1.5 to 2 seconds from 21 ft. away. In five seconds, you may not ever have to worry about that.

Any shot fired at someone is considered by law to be ā€œdeadly forceā€. Most encounters where defensive force is needed happen quickly, and often by surprise. Many shooters have trouble consistently putting rounds into the ā€œA zoneā€ of a target at 5 yds while under the stress of a timer. That is the area where the heart and lungs would be. It’s easier to hit than an arm, or leg; places that many people consider ā€œnon-lethalā€ because movies and television tell us that they are. If you must shoot in order to defend yourself or an innocent party, shoot at the center of the largest target presented. We don’t ā€œshoot to killā€. We ā€œshoot to stopā€ a deadly threat. Our intent is not to kill an assailant, but to stop the assailant’s use of deadly force on us. The statement is always ā€œI was in fear for my life and I shot to defend myself.ā€ That should be followed by ā€œI want to speak with my attorney before answering any more questions.ā€

When you call ā€˜911’ request (2) Ambulances. One for the dead people and one for yourself.

Remember folk’s, Cops can check your cell phone WHO you called first:
911 —Tell them you were in a Self Defense shoot, Tell them what you are wearing, and as EXACT location of where you are. Attacker(s) were neutralized
Then USCCA
(Don’t forget to check yourself for ā€˜hole’s’)

No disrespect to the OP Mark,
But this kind of Topic is like a few others we’ve recently had
"Weapons of War vs. the AR15? or is the AR a Weapon of war? etc etc.

Just for the record,
I shoot to stop the threat
My weapons are all deadly
If trouble comes my way again
I will do my best to end it fast and
with the least amount of Innocent blood shed (especially mine! :laughing: :laughing:)

I don’t know, but why would you put dead people in an ambulance?

That is not an ambulance. That’s a hearse. It carries dead people around. An ambulance goes to the hospital. A hearse goes to morgues and funeral homes. Ambulances have a bunch of flashing lights on them. Hearses only have normal lights. An ambulance can go fast but a hearse goes slow. Ambulances are normally white. A hearse is normally black. And the number one thing that defines an ambulance is that it is printed backwards on the front of it. I can only read it in my rear-view mirror and when I look at it to long I run into the car in front of me. Then I wonder how the ambulance driver new I was going to have a wreck and I was going to need him.

I mean, I could have a drink with leaker kid too,…

He probably wouldn’t like our conversation, and would wind up leaking again if he tried to hit me….

But I’m not opposed to sitting down with someone I disagree with and having a drink!

I don’t know who leaker kid is. But, I know what was on the side of the SUV. I don’t want to talk to my local Coroner at all. If I was, that would mean that I was there to identify a body of a friend or family. I would just as soon not see any more of them die before I do. And if I do, I won’t be talking to anyone.

Not sure what to think here…

Are you just @Robert1246 in disguise trying to conflate things?

Are you just unable to open the links as posted?

Are you just AI here to waste time?

I’m not in the business of blocking anyone, for any reason.

I just want to know where you stand.
