re: #162 Targetpractice

The guy was in position, but like Tuscon, he made the wise decision not to fire because he didn’t know if there were others in the same line of fire. If he’d fired and missed, or worse it had been a through and through, he might be facing charges. Even if not, he’d certainly be getting his ass sued off for wrongful death.

Someone is firing a rifle like that, you have to take them down swiftly. I’d say the right action had the shooter’s gun not jammed would have been to open fire. The key thing is to take the shooter out, if a through shot hits someone else, then I’d have to rate them as collateral damage. If that sounds ruthless, that’s because it is. Ruthless and decisive action would be the way to save lives.
