Easier said than done. You really expect someone to be that rational when they were already stressed enough to use their firearm in the first place?

- brightball 5y agoWho, the shooter or the person shooting back? I don't expect a shooter to be rational, but I do expect them to self preserve when being shot at. That's not rational, that's instinct. Police have repeatedly said ever since Columbine that it is most important to engage a shooter as soon as possible for this exact reason.
