Sorry guys.  I'm all over the map today.

I'll get back on track tomorrow  but this is a must read story and a pretty intense lesson learned.  First this is the guys take aways after his encounter...

Lessons learned from facing an “invincible” assailant
By Charles Remsberg
Sgt. Timothy Gramins who fired 17 .45-cal. rounds into a hell-bent suspect before putting him down offers these lessons learned from his extraordinary fight for his life:
1.) Beef up your ammo reserves. “A lot more rounds are being exchanged in today’s gunfights than in the past. With offenders carrying heavier weapons, going on patrol with just a handgun and two extra magazines no longer cuts it. Carry more ammo. Always have a backup gun. Carry a loaded rifle where you can reach it. I can’t express how quickly your firearm will go empty when you’re shooting for real. There’s no worse feeling than pulling the trigger and hearing it go ‘click’.”
2.) Practice head shots. “When you fire multiple ‘lethal’ rounds into an attacker and he keeps going, you don’t have the luxury of waiting 20 or 40 more seconds for him to die while he can still shoot at you. Don’t waste time arguing the relative merits of various calibers. No handgun rounds have reliable stopping power with body shots. Pick the round you can shoot best and practice shooting at the suspect’s head.”

Click here to go to the story to read it for yourself but it made me add one thing...PRACTICE PELVIC SHOTS!  If you get into a gunfight and you can get a clear sight picture then a hit to the pelvic girdle is almost guaranteed to immediately limit your assailants mobility...going to result in tremendous blood loss...and will lead to--- if not death then lifelong disability.

So long story short. Three to the head.  Three to the chest and dump the rest in the pelvic girdle if the bastard is still moving.
