I have always felt that keeping a cool head is half the battle whether in a fistfight or something worse. My saving grace has always been that I do not panic easily. Don't get me wrong. My heart pounds, but I remain in control. I'm working on the weapons training. You guys ain't kidding about that. A lot of guys sure could use more of it.

I stopped caring about a weapon's supposed stopping power after seeing two Iraqis survive being hit with .50 cal fire (three in one of them, two in the other). If you're happy with the caliber you're carrying, and you can hit what you aim at, you're better prepared than most people are.

who said anything about an improperly used weapon?
I did. Reread the quote you posted a reply to. Still not getting the freedom issue, just because "Some liberal attorney will make you out to be a blood-thirsty militia dirt bag." does not endanger your freedom. In fact if you some how stopped him from doing so you would be violating his freedoms. Of course you have the right to make him out as a pacifist liberal dirtbag.

If you believe that you can't doubletap someone in the head - then you can't.
