[QUOTE="cachsux, post: 1014802, member: 5529"] Do I think that someone with a firearm in that situation could have brought it to a faster conclusion, yes. Do I believe that the vast majority of firearm owners have what it takes to act in that real life situation by immediately drawing their weapon, and firing on an attacker and hitting them in a split second, no. Myself included. One can practice all they want but in practice there are no live bullets coming back at you at the same time. Only a very select few expieriance that such as military personnel. The vast majority of the police in this country will never draw their weapon outside of a firing range. Despite what some say on here it's not the OK Corral in America. The first instinct based on survival is to take cover. Acess the situation. Establish the target. Then fire if possible. But for shiz sake you don't empty a weapon blindly. You'll do more harm than good. If you don't have a clean shot fire into the air and draw the attackers attention and allow people to run and take cover. If a shot opens up, take it. [/QUOTE]
