Return to “Gunfire during Dark Night Rises”

In addition, he broke the law when he carried a loaded gun in his car to the movie theater. That is unless he loaded the guns when he went out the back door to get them.
He now doesn't know why he is in jail. He is suffering a memory loss. He also has complained about the food.
What I am hoping is that the jail inmates preparing his food are fixing it up "real special" for him.

Not being there, we are all basically doing the Monday morning quarterback thing but my thoughts on this were that the worse possible move I could make would be to trade shots at a distance with this guy. Paying attention to where he was firing(direction) and knowing that he probably could not actually see very well from that gas mask(no real peripheral vision) in the darkness of the theater. My thinking is that the best chance would be an attempt at flanking him and hitting him with a body tackle from hell or getting so close that shooting him in the face would become an option.mamabearCali wrote:I have though this over and over. The likelihood of being able to take this guy out is small. He was heavily armored, there was tear gas and smoke. The only thing a CHler might be able to do IF they had a clear line of sight is provide cover fire and allow others to escape. I imagine even heavily armored a .45 round might tip the person off balance. Perhaps, even then there is not a high chance of survivability. Once I have exhausted my 7 rounds and then my additional 6 he still has hundreds of rounds on me. But if you could knock him down others might escape. If his gun did jam, well that put things more in your favor. Multiple shots to the torso even with flak jacket and bullet proof vest would hurt and might knock him over. Still, good chance if you engage you are not getting out alive. But perhaps your teen just might.
There is another problem though with engaging, it changes the dynamic a bit and might be troublesome to sort out in the aftermath. Assuming by a miracle you survive now the police think that it was a shoot out between individuals and not a mass murderer being subdued. Hopefully witnesses and your testimony will sort that out, but watching what happened in Florida (a near textbook self defense shot being prosecuted as Murder 2) I don't think that is a foregone conclusion.
All that said, sometimes one must act. Even if the effort may seem futile because there is always the chance you will see tomorrow and you will then have to look in the mirror.

You guys act as if your surprised a liberal would be looking out for number one. It is obvious to me that the mad moderate has a highly developed sense of self preservation.C-dub wrote:Or letting someone kill my wife or daughter. I will give my life protecting them if that's what it takes just the same as when I was in the Navy to protect my country and for anyone currently serving. I can't foresee when or if that will ever happen, but I'll know it when I see it and hope I don't miss the opportunity. It's just like many of the questions we see on here about when can I shoot. You'll know it when it's happening.74novaman wrote:C-dub wrote: I don't plan on being killed while cowering in fear.
LOL... I didn't really think about it. Maybe I am drinking better stuff than I realized. My taste buds are possibly more refined than the average welfare liberal.

That would be the guy!Heartland Patriot wrote:Isn't this the guy who reportedly told the Brady Campaign that he would be working on it, but "under the radar"? Which is what I still believe F&F to have been: an attempt to drum up public support for a renewed AWB or other anti-firearms legislation, to back up the twisted numbers game that was being fueled by the press and bolstered by people such as El Presidente de Mexico, Felipe Calderon...03Lightningrocks wrote:The Mad Moderate wrote:It stuns me a little bit to hear Obama saying he is not going to use this tragedy to advance gun control.
It stuns me that anyone would believe a single word of anything that comes out of that Stalinists mouth.
Question: How can you tell if Obama is lying?
Answer: His lips are moving.

Yeah... that is true. I screwed up my first job too. But I was only 11. What is Obama's excuse? Other than spending more hours playing golf than he has spent meeting with his cabinet. Speaking of golf. Does anyone else find it humorous that Obama plays more golf than the majority of rich people he is trying to demonize?sjfcontrol wrote:03Lightningrocks wrote:VMI77 wrote:

Obama is capable of far worse atrocities than this. The man is evil, pure and simple. He does not know the first thing about honor. "Chicago Politician" is all anyone with a shred of intelligence needs to know about this man. He would stop at nothing to advance his power and position. His entire career has been advanced by crooked politicians using him as a centerpiece in achieving their nefarious goals of stomping out the American way of life.
Hey, take it easy on Obama -- after all, this is his first job!
