If you want to really make it exciting, picture doing this with a .380 Kel Tech or a snubby .38 as your EDC....

I wonder about this. I'll take this specific instance as it is, lacking any contrary info, and it certainly worked out OK in this case, but as a rule... most shootings that go over one or two rounds seem to involve a lot of missing by both sides, so short of being behind really good cover (which might in fact be daddy's body), I don't know that there is such a thing as a "safe spot." Time and effort and limbs used pushing others to a spot that may or may not be safer might be better spent zippering rounds into BG's head(s).

into the BG. Even a low capacity single stacker would have <6 + 1?, 7 + 1?> rounds in it.
If it was a double stacker, he could have had <15 +1?> rounds on tap. Ouch!

Boy, at least half a dozen rounds of .40 into the BG. You know that left some marks.

So what prompted the media to report that there were two armed GG's in the Barber Shop in the first place?

"Out of the way" in this context may mean "out of the direct line of fire." In that case, there was little choice if the GG wanted to engage.

I think I read on a different forum that the Barber Shop owner was a CHL . . .
