using martial arts vs Street Martial Science..

[ryanhall]

If a person has the intent to shoot you running away would be pointless...

It's a much better idea than sticking around to chat with the guy.

1) Most people won't shoot at you if you run--that's how the police get them and they go to jail. They use the gun for intimidation purposes (and it works).
2) Most people are not mentally prepared to use a firearm on another human being (many are though, so watch it).
3) If you would like some info on how hard it can be to hit a moving target, ask a longtime hunter or soldier. It's not easy at all (and that is for people skilled with a firearm, not some dude who packs a nine and thinks he's really bad).

Sometimes the situation may dictate that you stay for one reason or another, but it's almost always safer to take off (in a safe manner that fits the situation--i.e. don't turn you back on a pissed knifer) when someone produces a weapon.

I disagree. You SHOULD ALWAYS just stand there and do whatever they tell you to do.

You will only get yourself hurt or killed if you try to resist a criminal. If you carry a weapon the criminal will only take it from you and use it against you.

The police will protect you.

How could I have been so wrong? Let's ban guns and make self-defense illegal. Weapons solve nothing, and it is the gun, not the moron(s) holding it/them that is the cause of most of our nation's problems. While we're at it, let's blame guns for violence in schools and global warming.

[Szczepankiewicz]

Oh, be sarcastic if you must, but scientific studies in Europe have proven that the gases released by combustion of a firearm cartridge produce 10 times the amount of pollution of a 1963 standard automobile.

Banning of firearms worldwide would decrease the amount of greenhouse gasses by 27% annually.

Actually, banning Taco Bell would decrease the amount of harmful greenhouse gasses by approximately 73% in one week alone (source: The Washington Post)

well a thug comin out of a shooting range aint a real thug.. carrying a gun is a stressful job and you go through emotions..

one time i was strapped and a cop stopped us, and it was in my pocket.. i was like "i'm going to prison for sure".. my homie had licence insurance.. everything.. so i didn't get sweated.. but they usually would pull both of us out the car and sweat us hard.. any thug at the shooting range first aint a real thug..

Uhmm

I'm with Schitzoi.. sczpec.. damm.. I can't even spell his name. How many constanents you got in your name bro? Just do what a gunman tells you to do and HOPEFULLY he will not shoot you. Some f*ckers are just plain 'loco en la cabeza' and will shoot you anyway standing or running.
Just because you don't go to a shooting range does NOT mean you cannot shoot a gun. Out here we had Azusa canyon Lydle Creek and a host of other places we could just go out and shoot. My homies would shoot at anything...lizards, squirrels. birds...and the sons a bitches would would hit them. So don't give me that crap about thugs can't hit moving targets. NOW... moving targets shooting back at you--that's another story. How many people can shoot accurately while being shot at? Check this out, in New York 40 bullets were shot at a man holding a gun by NYPD. Only seven bullets hit him.. Hummm.. that' peculiar.
Taco Bell??? That's funny

[Cain]

just some details..

the man was holding hes wallet.. and it was 41 shots..

hence the song: "41 shooooots...." which bush hates so much (among all nra-thugs
by the way, have anyone seen the movie equilibrium?

I know about that one

That's not the one I am talking about. This guy was standing in front of a bank with a gun in his hand. He refused to put the gun down when officers ordered him to- so they shot him forty times but only hit him seven. This was many years back-about ten. Thanx anyway for the 'meant well' correction though.

When someone intends to use a gun you should talk your way out of it, because the body takes to all actions and running is an action.

You have obviously never fired a hand gun by that comment.

[m.artist]

my thoughts exactly.

IT's my new sig! Thanks szspatula!

[alwaysmixwell]

i dont know about zig zagging away and not getting shot.. i mean it makes you a harder target to hit but personally if someone ran away like that and i had intend id just spray bullets left to right.. you cant dodge a bullet coming at you ! if i were confronted with a gun id freaking bum rush the person and grab the gun if possible.. i dont know tho ive never been in that situation but who knows.. bum rushing might not be the best idea either.. haha
