They did. They pointed in the general direction and pulled the trigger. Could they be better at it? Absolutely. Would practicing on a square range really do much good? Probably not.
"regain distance"? What kind of backwards way is that of saying he assaulted them again? Distance implies, well, distance. To put it more simply, the normal connotation of distance would be a positive displacement away from the point of origin. I suppose I defined the point of origin from the perspective of the two good girls. If you're defining the point of origin from the perp, then I suppose that would be "gaining distance" from the point of origin.
Regain distance would be, regaining the distance that was between the 2 groups. It may be backwards to some, but most would understand the implied statement. Sorry ain't got no fancy words to make my sentences look professional.
I guess it could be better if I said "closed the distance between the 2". But he was trying to leave, was unable to do so, so yeah he regained distance.
In GA its a definite no go. A guy last year was arrested and jailed for firing rounds at a dude that was driving away in his car that just robbed him in his home at gun point.
Im pretty sure I saw it here. A guy was bombarded, tied up in his home, held at gun point while the dude robbed him, the dude stole his cars keys, ran outside to leave as the home owner got out of the ties, grabbed his gun and ran out the front door shooting intop the windshield as the bad guy was backing down his driveway. Since the guy was "retreating" it was deemed illegal.
Shooting at a fleeing perpetrator is not an automatic no-go. It would depend upon the totality of the circumstances.
Yeah, im sure there are always other variables that can change the outcome.
Right. Put me on that jury. He could have shot the guy in both legs, dragged him to the nearest tree, hanged him and get a not guilty from me.
I think most folks are missing the main thing I personally took from the video clip; the 2 females both fought back, aggressively and never gave up. That right there is more important than what weapon they used, or what training they may have had.
Most folks don’t fight back, and females statistically fight back less than males do. These 2 women waited for their chance, when they had it they went 100%, and didn’t stop until it was over.
I can train folks all day in tactics and techniques, stressing speed, decisiveness, and aggressiveness the whole while, but for the vast majority the latter cannot be taught. You’re aggressive or you’re not. There are folks that are not aggressive enough, but something happens in their lives to flip that switch.
The majority THINK they can be aggressive when the time comes, but unless you’ve actually seen the elephant, you won’t know for sure until you do. I’ve seen more than one “badass” vapor lock when their moment came.
Good for both of them. Now that they’ve been in a situation like this, I would hope that they do seek some competent training so that their skills can match their aggressive mindset. If they lived in this area I would be hitting them up and offering them some free training.

Holy cow, those are some brave women. That girl almost shot her mother though in the scuffle. I'd say they need some more training...
