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.

He racked the gun and dropped the magazine on the floor!!! He could easily shoot an innocent shopper that was in there!!! He is so lucky. This is why I have problem with people who own guns but who never practice anything with those guns.

10 rounds- Two robbers and one friend and he missed them all!

That's some fabulous gun control there.

Looks like he learned to shoot by watching old westerns - throw the bullets out of the gun.

I think I'll shop elsewhere.

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.

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...

They say we all fall back on our training in that moment of crisis. No training, nowhere to fall but on your face. They say training and practice also impart a measure of comfort and confidence that's self-reinforcing. Stay calm, stay smooth; smooth is fast.

But I can't ding the guy for missing with all ten - plenty of LEO's have done the same in his shoes.

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.
