Hadn't seen it. Agree that they were damn lucky. They both should have taken some lessons in
shooting also! It seemed like they hit the guy several times, I wonder what they were shooting.
Maybe .25 caliber?
Looks like .38s to me and I am not surprised they didn't hit this guy
anywhere serious. They used horrible tactics and their shooting style
was "unique" to say the least. Someone needed to remind them to aim.
Two armed people, in familiar surroundings should have trapped this
guy in a crossfire and fired from cover with a decent rest.
Yeah Greg, they should have acted more like Navy Seals, huh?
They accomplished their objective. They are not hurt and the perp was
escorted to the hospital by the police in critical condition. Good for
them.
One thing I didn't understand in that video though ... when he first
came around the counter banishing his gun the first thing the daughter
did was reach for the mouse on the counter while looking at the computer
screen. What was that all about?
Closing her facebook page?
Navy seal may be over the top but at least having some kind of plan
and a little more skill would have made that a much shorter video.
They acted like they had never actually shot their guns before.
They also did not have a clue about "retention". Even that superficial
CCW course I have done a few times talks about retention. You don't go
waving your gun around unless you want to lose it. You want it tight
to your chest, elbows in, until you extend and fire and if you are up
close you don't really extend that far. You might get hot brass up
your nose but you are less likely to lose the gun.
