It amazes me that the student was asking essentially if the student had the government's permission in that situation, to fight back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2274603772663066793.post-42731397099456545412011-01-23T18:24:33.497-08:002011-01-23T18:24:33.497-08:00I was once part of a 3 man team that had to search...I was once part of a 3 man team that had to search a building, looking for a robbery suspect. While we swung and scanned, in the dark building, with our hearts pounding, the rookie in the squad suddenly racked his Ithaca, "to scare the suspect".

The woman is unable, for whatever reason, to prepare for the safety of herself and her children. You cannot save someone from themselves.<br /><br />On another topic, I have twice had the opportunity to rack a shotgun against an unknown adversary. While two incidents is not definitive, I have had a 100% success rate in bringing three trespassers to a newfound closeness with their creator. Instant compliance and submission or a mad dash to whereabouts unknown. Either way I was satisfied.paramedic70002https://www.blogger.com/profile/16327480284352727871noreply@blogger.com
