Listen up.
I react when I can KILL ,not arrest or wound a target.
I need to watch BULLET travel and track movement,not speculate later on what ifs.
I want MY advantages .
You take YOUR own advice.
Some civilians THINK they can play WYATT ERP because they know a gun's use and are effective target shots.

I think you have some issues, you seem to live out this fantasy where you are a killing machine. And you seem desperate for everyone on an internet forum to acknowledge it.

Seek help.

ONE can't BLAST away around ANY urban environment, with abandon, on reflex.
YOU have to read the actions of others with SOME skill and do it fast.
AND as I said bullet travel would be first thing to consider REALLY fast.

I am not a machine OR what ever you think I am.
I am receiving care from the VA, who'm do YOU go to see for this illness?

It's kind of like the difference between people who played poker based solely on the cards in the percentages versus those who played poker based on reading other people the people who read other people better and are better at making other people think what they're thinking the best are the people who do the best.

Successful bluffing is just another application of probability. You look at the odds of your opponent having a hand that can beat yours, and the odds of what they're actually representing and contrast that with the odds of their bluff. If the cards from previous rounds suggest your opponent really does have a Royal Flush, and their actions suggest that they really do have a strong hand, then the chance of them having a Royal Flush is no longer 1:4342, it's significantly in that specific game. A good player is able to identify the times when a bluff is likely vs unlikely. A bad bluffer just randomly picks times to bluff, and relies on a poker face.

Reading a person has very little to do with it.

My squad called me "JASON with an M60" ,John Wayne was too nice,and talked a lot,scouts are SILENT death or WE die.
ANOTHER poster was complaining about response fire being 1000% like some authority on getting shot at"The second you shoot at the robbers, the likely hood of you getting shot increases over a 1000%"
If you ACTUALLY carry a gun I 'd say theres MORE of a chance that the CARRIER has greater skill than 99% of criminals.
I swear ,some must think people only carry for ego or cool..they'll NEVER get it.

100 million John Waynes in America, all of them living this same delusion.

All of them believe they are highly trained expert marksmen and its the other gun owners who should leave it to them.

The fantasy and desperate cries for attention seem to evolve further in this case.
Creating imaginary "internet ticks" by capitalising random words which provide no emphasis.

The aim of which is to make other forum users think "wow this guy must of been a bad-ass in the army"... instead we pity why an individual creates an online persona for a conspiracy website to try and garner attention.

Get back to me when you've been listed in an article in Card Player magazine because I have.

First off I don't think anything I am trained and experienced in combat situations I lived it. Second I'm not of the notion that they need to leave it to me everyone is responsible for their own safety and they can protect themselves as much as they want

I wrote card playing articles for a couple years.

If I was manager I would give them employee of the month. They protected their life's and the life's of others in that store. I believe strongly in concealed carry.

Instead of what ever kind of dogmatic directed delusional maxist YOU are I have NEVER said ONE lie here yet .
I HAVE made mistakes ,but no lies..
Lying implies FEAR.
I'm a carrier.
YOUR language seems distinctly hoplophobic.
ALL the frontline hard asses talk this way, darlin.
YOU however, I feel hide alot more than I ever will.,,,

I hope the Corporate Overloards, condone their actions. This is good stuff, in a "positive" direction... I may start using Taco Bell for breakfast. I'll stop using them for snacks if they berate these heroes. Matter of fact? I'll not ever purchase their products. Just like I did Starbucks. Please Taco Bell, your swill is so tasty! I'm running out of swill to purchase.

Insurance would eat them ALIVE if they did.

a reply to: Tycho1987

I'd give them two days off, to cope with "PTSD". Not because they deserve it. Because they had the foresight to prepare. They earned it! Then, if they came back to work? Yeah, then "Employee of The Month"! A "uniform" is a uniform. You can do "good" and the "right thing", in your underwear. Being armed makes the difference. These folks did "good", at the right time, when it needed doing.

a reply to: cavtrooper7

No doubt, you are correct! But good warriors die with a smile. These "employees" went "above and beyond". I personally believe, the US. Military, lost a few good Troopers to Taco Bell. Kinda sad. Because I've met US. marines that should've been at Taco Bell and not there. Insurance is a "fools faith". And a socialistic/communist idea. That's why it is "pushed/advertised" so hard. A "bankers".. "income". With all the "legal" protection.

a reply to: SudoNim

Just so you know Tinhorn. A US. military "Marksman"..just "barely" passes a "weapons qualification". And is a better "shooter" with training, than the average Tinhorn. "Marksmen" are line/good Soldiers, kept close. Sharps and Experts.. Get the "special details"... But, Don't F with "Marksmen". You wouldn't like it.

WE know the SECRET dime trick...civilians would need NICKELS or HOURS...
I walked in and out shooting expert,plinking was THE ONLY time my father and brother bonded with me.

a reply to: introvert

Absolutely.

We weren't in the restaurant. We don't know the situation. Being as the kids behind the counter were local, perhaps the two would-be bandits were, too, and the kids knew what was going to happen...always a possibility.

Personally, I'm going to err on the side of me living to see the dawn. 12 as opposed to 6.

a reply to: cavtrooper7

I certainly do, but...I make no claim other than that.

Wyatt Earp? Nope. Bill Hickok? Not him, either. I'm just a guy who is learning what's what, that's why I'm paying a rather large amount of money to learn--hoping the entire time that I'll never have to use it for that purpose.

Contrary to some who would believe I think differently.

a reply to: seagull

But...WHERES the part WHERE the BULLETS whiz by and the bad guys RUN so you LEAD them and engage with a multiple fire engagement?
KEY things, like tunneling ,can inadvertently drag your barrel into an innocent target SO fast.

a reply to: cavtrooper7

There's none, as you well know.

...and, to be totally honest, I don't want there to ever be any bullets whizzin' by. I'll very happily live the rest of my days without ever having that happen, thank you. As I said, I'm not Wyatt Earp, and have no intention of ever being him, or anything like him.

I've been in situations where it's time to fish or cut bait, never with firearms, and I'm in no hurry to check that box. Y'know?
