Dougie93 Posted February 10, 2019 Report Posted February 10, 2019 I just try to hunt animals without being cruel. In terms of Homo Sapiens Sapiens, only by lawful order of the crown. If you steal my truck I'll just leave that to the constabulary and call my insurance company.

We don't care 'bout no steenkin' crown....that's when the shootin' got real good to begin with, so we made it a constitutional right. Economics trumps Virtue.

I frankly do everything I can to avoid shooting people, even in America that's a life complication you don't need. I only maintain proficiency for extremis. Edited February 10, 2019 by Dougie93

Dougie93 Posted February 10, 2019 Report Posted February 10, 2019 Perps get shot here. But I will retreat if avenue is available, why shoot if you don't have to?
Dougie93 Posted February 10, 2019 Report Posted February 10, 2019 Like, you can't get much more no duty to retreat than Florida, and yet what's his name still copped a murder charge for shooting the kid with the skittles.

It's a two way range, I don't see any reason to open fire if I can back off and they don't fire at me. Getting shot hurts, being a good shot doesn't make you bullet proof.

That a decision for each person to make at the time...a safe retreat may only delay the armed assault for a more vulnerable, defensive position. I am not waiting for them to fire...but that's just me. Economics trumps Virtue.
Dougie93 Posted February 10, 2019 Report Posted February 10, 2019 I'm brave about taking a round in the flesh, but I fear being paralyzed, which is a common result of a gunfight, so I will avoid a gunfight if at all possible, to include tactical withdrawal as optimal.

Dougie93 Posted February 10, 2019 Report Posted February 10, 2019 Well, I'm only shooting my way out of a home invasion if we are trapped. If we can flee, then we will flee, because once the rounds start flying, I'm sure to hit the target, but criminals might just spray the place and hit my wife through the walls. If I can avoid contact, I will avoid it, I'm not coming out swinging if I can walk away.
bush_cheney2004 Posted February 10, 2019 Report Posted February 10, 2019 Most perps will flee first...she shoot them long time: Economics trumps Virtue.
Dougie93 Posted February 10, 2019 Report Posted February 10, 2019 In Canada, it's not likely to be punks doing a home invasion. Home invasion is big time here, usually pros, or organized crime, or deranged persons.

Dougie93 Posted February 10, 2019 Report Posted February 10, 2019 I wouldn't do that even if I was an American. There is civil liability to consider as well, easy to shoot someone in America, but even easier to sue them.

There was a news account several years ago about some guy pointing a gun at Canadian border agents to affect suicide, but they refused to shoot him. Told the guy to cross the U.S. border and the American police would be happy to oblige him. Economics trumps Virtue.
Dougie93 Posted February 10, 2019 Report Posted February 10, 2019 I've had guns pointed at me more than a few times, including Ak-47's, I just played it cool, wasn't going to make me any safer to go for the drop from there.

Your rules of engagement...others have their own. Pointing a firearm at somebody is just bad manners ! Economics trumps Virtue.

Even a West Indian knows the rules are different in 'Murica than in Canada. It's not a Hollywood movie or 1950's western TV show. Economics trumps Virtue.
Dougie93 Posted February 10, 2019 Report Posted February 10, 2019 That's the thing about criminals, they expect you to have a gun, because criminals mostly jack other criminals, so when criminals jack you, they don't telegraph that its coming, and they come in force, so everytime it's happened to me, it was fait accompli before I knew what was happening. I didn't have gun, but even if I had, gangsters roll up quick, and in numbers.
