So did anyone read the story of the ARFCOM'r that fired warning shots............

[SW-Shooter]

At a psychotic women that shot a man with an arrow?

I'm sorry but firing warning shots just irks me. Regardless of who the shooter is.

I feel bad when anyone is put in a situation where they have to take another persons life. But firing warning shots in a crowded office building is against every single cell in my body. To the member that was involved please take this as my apology for Monday morning quarterbacking you. Next time resist the urge to play humanitarian and shoot COM.


Oh, and .380 just don't cut for self defense.

SW-OUT!

He survived, and only the original target was hurt.

I can't say I would have hesitated if I'd had the shot, but I won't second guess his actions while he was there and I was warm in my office surfing the internet.

He did alright in my book. All of his coworkers are alive and he didn't have to kill his friend's daughter. I can't say what I would have done as you can't call reactions to those kinds of things in advance, but I can't knock the guy as things worked out.

I think more than half the people criticizing him on ArfCom and GlockIdiots probably would have gotten in their cars and drove away instead of going back in to help their friends.

Now before you guys hammer me for not tapping her CM (which I could have as I shoot regularly), I learned when I was dragging my friend away that this woman is the daughter of one of our engineers. She has severe mental issues. My goal again was to keep her in that CR until HPD arrived.

Wow. Talk about a difficult situation. Not sure I would have done differently than he did.

[SW-Shooter]

My concern would be an errant warning shot hitting someone that was hunched down on the floor. That's one of the major reasons for no warning shots as a rule. The chance you'll hit an innocent is too much of a risk.

Like I said MMQ'ing is easy. I just can't say I'd have done the same.

He's a hero in my book!

How many people would have kept running out the exit and not looked back

[Honu]

I for one would not be talking about it !!!
NO WAY not until way later after I know everything is gone and lawyer says so
even then I think I would write it up as a 3rd person story

Agreed. Lots of funky topics over there these days.

There was some Retard on ARF (or ArizonaShooting.com.. I can't remember which) who had a punk fire a shot over his hood in traffic. He promtly returned fire thru his Jeep Windshield with his .380 p3at or some such piece of shit pistol. No one was hit.

The moron was lucky the bullet didn't bounce off his windshield and blind him. What is with people and JUNK GUNS?
