Owner should've/could've shot through the candy display shelving instead of blindly spraying rounds over it. Easy for me to say from the comfort of my keyboard. Even so, the rounds probably would have missed, but perhaps not as he might've been able to estimate their location by the sound of them moving. Lotsa might'ves and maybes and could'ves in my deconstruction; but good on him for shooting at the fuckers.

Well, we all like to think that, when the time comes we will act decisively; calmly draw our weapons, take careful aim at each bad guy in turn, and fire accurately. Then the shit goes down, and you find yourself blindly spraying the room with an entire magazine while you keep your eyes shut to guard against getting a bullet in one of them.

Please speak of somebody else. Not my first time at the rodeo/two-way range. :sly:

I certainly hope that is not how our military and LEO trains. Keeping the eyes shut while shooting will not guard your eyes from getting a bullet in one of them, nor will get your target shot. And probably some innocent bystander will get hit by your bullets.

I know what you are saying but the above will happen with no or inadequate training. Lots of good training will get you open at least one eye. Should suffice...

In addition to practicing specific skills one should engage well managed high risk activitys. Perhaps the motorcyclists here could comment. I'm afraid of motorcycles myself but I do fly airplanes and have had to work the puzzle damn quick more than once. I was a gymnast in high school. Not the highest injury sport but the fatalities were up there. Took five years of roofing before my anus quite trying to hide up my belly when I worked the edge. I still climb rocks and trees. I just think you have to work the adrenals.
