You are going to stop a terrorist attack with 17 bullets? Didn't know it was that simple. You have a better chance of shooting yourself because you carry with the safety off.
People like you have been scoffing at me for years, the terminology for this is an "Adam katan"
I dont think one should carry round chambered safety off, the only way i'd do this is using a 1911 depressed hammer method, with enough training one should be able to draw, flip the safety and fire.. maybe look in to an extended safety or an ambi safety if your a lefty like myself.
However, making one valid point and overall laytzanus on a very serious topic does not mean if the naked emperor wears a hat, he becomes clothed... if you can in good faith mock terror attacks and prevention of it, your a clown.
All statistics show that people on the spot in the area at the time of any shooting are the best option to end the attacks... unless maybe some complex hostage or bomb situation I dunno.
Look up the stats but:
most mass shootings are already over by the time the police come
in israel, it is armed civilians that stop or prevent terror attacks and that is with even a large police and army presence in the street.
Lets say God forbid there is a terror attack with a few terrorists and some AK47's etc by he time someone calls 911, the police respond, locate the shooters and eliminate them? probably over 500 round would have been dispensed by the terrorists
Now, a person on the spot would be in position to begin firing right away, if you got a good spot, took a good shot and knocked one guy out, chances are the rest of the rounds in your mag would be scattered unless you were very disciplined and accurate to double tap each terrorist in successive motion which isnt how things go usually people are so adrenaline fueled even with an 8 or 10 lb trigger pull youd probably waste your ammo in fear and nervousness and fear causes people to shoot
I think this is a concern regarding innocent bystanders but unless your wildly shooting your probably not going to hit people your not pointing at and any ways diverting terrorists fire is going to suck if you dont have good covet but help others flee etc
I lived in chevron, I know a thing or 2 about terror attacks and shootings etc it doesnt work like in movies
