Every situation is different. If someone I know takes a poke at me in the heat of an argument, we'll beat each other bloody and be friends the next day. Been there done that.

If I am out and about and a random comes at me, I cannot guess their intent. I cannot ascertain their level of skill. All I can do is judge what I see, and if what I see is 300 lbs of pissed off charging at me, game over.

FTR, I am usually not on the side of the cops. When the perp clearly initiated the confrontation, it is a different story.

[quote poster=H4xOr WaNgEr; 32845; 593621][quote poster=VicRattlehead; 32845; 593611]Good to see that TAN is still dumb. Some things never change.

Shoot center mass. If the target doesn't go down shoot again.

Actually, when I shoot I practice firing twice rapidly, then sidestepping, then firing twice, etc., so waiting for him to go down wouldn't happen.

Nationwide, fists are already recognized as lethal force. By the accepted legal standard, he was in danger of his life and thus is justified in shooting the [kid]. [/quote]

That is so out of touch with reality it is almost offensive. Nobody deserves to die over a fist fight, and in the vast majority of circumstance neither party would expect a fight to end with a mortality. Considering yourself to be in "life threatening danger" over a fist fight is pretty far fetched, and clearly anyone shooting over such things places little value in human life.

A third of the population would probably be dead via gunshot wound if fistfights were the standard for killing.

Sure people die in fist fights but it is very uncommon. Most fist fights get broken up when it is clear one side is "done". [/quote]

I didn't say I thought it should be that way, I said it is. Legal precedent matters, and the precedent is that for the purposes of self defense cases, fists are lethal weapons.

TAN, glad you remember me as a gun loony haha I am one of he he safest people with firearms you'll meet. Friend me on FB and I will show you pictures of many people shooting in safety at my folks farm.

I am having trouble with the mibbit thing on my device. What is a good (free) app? I already got two from the App Store, mango and IRC999, but I can't figure out how to join the right server.

In my defense, I am kind of an idiot.

There were people who thought like me. We might have even been a majority. We fought to keep the server from turning into alliance 2.0. We were forced to adopt alliance style tactics to fight the alliances. The hypocrisy nearly exploded our heads. It also kept many like minded players from joining. The alliance style advocates of course won out, and my side either caved in or left the server.

There is already alliance for "big" tags, and FFA for bigger ones. I always thought team didn't make sense as alliance server with multiple tags per clan.

Scode - not much.
