By the w...Another great recap, Elizabeth. Thanks. <br /><br />By the way, the shootout I was in with a bank robber lasted approximately two minutes with 68 rounds exchanged. Five by me, with each connecting with the suspect - one in the side of the head and four in the center of the chest. And he still got up and ran. <br /><br />The incident seemed like it went on forever -in near silence and in slow motion.<br /><br />Anonymous is absolutely correct, though. My situation was not the norm. Most police involved shootings are over practically in the blink of an eye.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31764495.post-19183105985468317032013-09-17T16:08:39.400-04:002013-09-17T16:08:39.400-04:00I'm glad folks like you are out there, JT - wi...I'm glad folks like you are out there, JT - with as much training as possible.Elizabeth Saundershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01616212913975457786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31764495.post-61068030806089444182013-09-17T15:02:39.449-04:002013-09-17T15:02:39.449-04:00it is over fast, 3.5 seconds is the average gunfig...it is over fast, 3.5 seconds is the average gunfight...<br /><br />writers especially seem to have problems grasping this, i have seen combat scenes where people are claiming thirty seconds to three minutes...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
