Have you ever shot someone?

[Sylvain]

Do you swear it was in self defense?

Yes, but they say they want to bring me in guilty.

Getting shot at in paintball REALLY gave me some perspective on how terrifying it must be in real life. I know it's in no way the same, but my fear of stepping out and getting tagged sure was.

I have read that's as close to real combat as you can get. I believe it.

Ego and pain avoidance play a big part. I actually went into "BULLET TIME" coming up on a guy and shot a burst at him. And still missed at point blank range. I was stunned at both the time dilation and that I was able to miss that close. I miss playing woods ball without stupid "refs" around.

You hit or you don't. There are no rules.

 

[MinuteManMike]

I've been shot at twice. Was not hit.

I drew on 3 guys but didn't have to shoot because they retreated as soon as I drew and said "wrong f'ing guy."

Good one.

A friend of mine had 3 thugs approach him and he drew and said "Not tonight, guys." They ran like the cowards they are.

I think these are the kind of stories to be shared over a beer...not the internet.

I agree. I wouldn't say if I did, or if I didn't, if I would or if I wouldn't, and I am surprised at the number of you that are sharing that info on here. This is the internet after all.

Meh.

To parrot what many here have said...

yes. Many of us have. But nothing is to be gained by providing accounts via the World Wide Web.

OK, I see this wasn't serious, I gave a serious answer as I am sure did FnS.

See you all later.

It can be a serious or what ever you care to share.
I read your post and remember we spoke of this. Yes very serious.

My post just stated I did not care to share and for others to weigh it out before they did.

Win lose or draw, you will always lose something.

 

[Nojoy621]

Yes, but only for food.

Agree. Abandon thread.

Am I being detained? On advise from Kirk, I have no comment.

I'm sincerely interested in learning from the experiences of others - especially when it comes to difficult situations. I understand that this can be a difficult subject and that some folks are more sensitive about things than others.

I read, appreciate, and thank you for your input, whether you wish to continue participating/sharing or not.

Same goes for everyone whether you receive an individual response or not.

 

[nakinate]

Yes, but only for food.

You shot someone for food? How long have you been a cannibal? Were you born that way or is it a learned trait?

 

[Goodcat]

Never shot anyone, hope I never will have to. I haven't been shot, that I recall.

 

[VUPDblue]

I've been shot at twice. My car soaked up some bullets but I was ok. I've never fired in another persons direction.

 

[vitamink]

Shot at a few times. I approached a man trying to reload his revolver after shooting a friend of mine and shooting at another. He shot himself before I could put more than 1lbs of pressure on the trigger.

When faced with only veggie omelet MRE to eat, sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do.

 

[phylodog]

Yes, yes and yes. Can't say I enjoyed any of them and sincerely hope I never have to experience them again.
