You, your SO and maybe your spawn, are in your neighborhood Walmart on a Saturday afternoon looking for bird feed, kitty litter, and some snackers, mixers, etc. Suddenly, you hear what you perceive to be gunshots! You are legally carrying your fully loaded, cocked and locked .45 cal louden boomer.

What do you do?

I would direct my wife and children to the nearest exit, then immediately proceed toward the sound of the shots. After closing within 50 meters I would engage the target(s), mostly with suppressive fire, to allow others to exit safely under cover.

50 yards and suppressive fire with a 1911?

I on the other hand would be violating the grand Texas tradition of respect for property rights by open carrying my NFA registered belt fed M249 in Walmart contrary to the wishes of their shareholders (other than me) as expressed by their lily livered CEO. After setting it down on some bags of peat moss from the garden section, I would begin firing short controlled 5-10 round bursts toward the sound of the perp. Granted I was trained (by Marines) some 33 years ago on the larger M60, but I’m still a pretty good machine gunner with squad automatic weapon. After fishing a couple flash bangs and smoke grenades out of my go bag, I’d toss one smoker and one flashbang about 5 seconds apart. I’d then run in a zig zag pattern toward the perp, carrying at least one of my ammo cases of linked 5.56 (M855 and tracer mix). After a good string of 25-50rd long bursts from the SAW, I’d pull out my suppressed SIG P226 and pump a few 147gr HP slugs into the bad guy. I’d then begin filling out the paperwork for the NFA registered grenades that I tossed (technically classified as destructive devices) in order to get them out of the registry. Only then would I head over to the beer case and pick up a couple 24pz 14% Steel Reserve Malt liquors or maybe one or two OE 800 40’s and risk a class B misdemeanor for consuming alcohol in an off premises permitted location. While waiting for the meat wagon to show up, I’d pull out my CHL Badge and Permit Holder lanyard and put it on to let the first responders know I am a state certified good guy!

Head towards the sound of the gunfire.
