Re: Thank God for poor shooting skills, I guess...
[quote] The odds of not getting hit with 8 rounds fired at you have to be pretty significant. [/qoute]
The odds aren't that great.
Adrenaline really causes "a whole lotta shakin' goin' on"
Read about Jeff Ginn 1991; sometime, http://www.odmp.org/officer/235-patrolm ... -dean-ginn" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
IIRC, both officer Ginn and the mental guy (got a letter from the city to mow his yard, was mad at the city) emptied their guns at each other at about 6 to 8 feet from each other (opposites sides of a boat, if I recall correctly), no one got hit, while Jeff was behind a tree reloading, the other guy ran to the garage, got a carbine and ran back and killed Jeff. (Even with speedloaders, shakes cause delays)
Jeff had just been at my house earlier in the month, I was trying to get officers to switch from their service revolvers to higher capacity/bigger caliber Glocks, preferably in .40 S&W or .45 then. Most did after that. (Some of those only went to the range once or twice a year; but I started inviting them to their own range to try out new things I bought back then, so I could get at least a few to go more often)
