Even a blind pig finds an acorn sometimes.
Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston!
The war is inevitable--and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.

Me too - IF my gun was drawn. Some on this forum believe that perfect situational awareness will solve most problems. I'm working on my SA, but I know it will never be perfect. Its for this reason I'd like to have some disarming skills in my tool chest.Of course, if you met me, you'd know that I already very disarming.

Re: crazy gun video
After 3 hours of searching YouTube and other video sites I have utterly failed in my attempt to find the aforementioned video of a good Samaritan trying to grab a robber's gun and getting shot. I ran across it while watching robberies on YouTube a few months ago and I guess it has been removed.
Basically a slightly overweight customer waits until the robber is distracted and then grabs for the gun. The robber takes a step or two backwards and shoots the customer at least 3 times. The good Samaritan goes limp and drops to the ground. It's a very sobering video to watch after so many "beat the robber with a broom" videos. The robber had a revolver, IIRC.
