I would have "matrixed' my way over to him and shoved that gun so far down his throat he would be sh!ttin* bullets for the rest of his short life. Everytime! Everytime!  |

I'm a nancy boy pacifist lib dude. Apparently getting shot with a .22 doesn't hurt much, but I'd be stoned from my wake and bake ritual if I was even in class in the morning. I remember thinking when i was in college that if a madman walked in with a gun I would run up there and pull out his throat. Just like Patrick Swayze did in Roadhouse which was *goshdarn* harsh BTW. |

Hard core.
Twenty years ago, some dude and I were discussing philosophy and after a particularly rigorous debate he told his son simply to "go get the gun". In a blink I was 40 miles away. I am a huge *humid grotto*. I wear the label as a badge of honor.

For one thing, no one knows what they are going to do until the *feces* hits the fan. One may talk like he would rush the *bunghole*, take his gun away and beat him over the head with it. But until it has happened, talk is only talk. The same for the person who says he'd run and hide. Often these are the ones who take charge. Many of the least likely candidates turned out to be the heroes in past conflicts, while the puffed up guys watched it happen.
This is not to put anyone down for their reaction. As I said, nobody knows how they react until it's time.

Heman, Badass, Tough Guy, Chuck Norris talk has always killed me. But Heman, Badass, Tough Guy, Chuck Norris talk on a golf message board of all places is the epitome of pathetic.

Shoulda, woulda coulda talk.
Lots of wannabe heroes puffing their chests.
I feel bad about the whole deal, but the kids that saved their own lives by playing dead probably did the right thing. I just hope that they don't fixate on the first line of this post.

I obviously have never been in any situation like that, and can of course, in now way, predict my actions.
Having said that. Knowing me. I'm sure my first reaction, would be to say "Holy *feces*!", and run for cover.
But, I think I can honestly say, I'm pretty sure I would attempt to assess the situation, and maybe(big *fudge*in' maybe) try something.
Now. Before you write me off, and tell me to go join the A-Team over there.....Here's where I'm coming from. I guess I would have to say, at this point, I do have an awareness. Columbine. 911. Red Lake, MN. Virgina Tech. Much more so than say 10-12 years ago. The first thing that would go through my mind is "*fudge*, one of these deals!" De sensitized, may not be the right word.
Second. I work(and because of my job)with all women. I'm pretty sure, in my heart, after I jumped behind a desk, I would think, he better not hurt any of my girls, while I'm cowering behind this desk. Same, as any man would want to protect his family, and the ones he loves. If I worked on a shipping dock, or cement crew...my thoughts would probably be different.
And, hell. Every scenario.......I mean 1 guy, 2 hand guns, my work....vs. 4 guys, semi automatic rifles, at Best Buy.....nobody knows.
I like to think I would be the guy to run into the burning building for the baby.

I think I'd run into the burning building for the baby, but that's different. You get to make the call as to whether or not to confront the danger. The building and the fire aren't actively targeting you -- they're just doing their thing, and you're either in the right place or the wrong place at the time.
But a guy with a couple handguns suddenly walks into my room, bars the door, turns and starts mowing people down? I'm positive I would NOT recognize the weapons to appreciate their stopping power, and I'm equally sure I'd do as the students did. The only thing that might change it would be if it were very, very clear that I was going to die if I did nothing. Maybe.

None of really know what we would do in a similar situation. However, saying without any doubt what you would do, is total bull*feces*. Maybe you would dig down real deep and be a hero (like the prof that held the door shut so his students could jump out the window), or maybe you would crap your pants and cry like a baby.
Never been there, and I don't want to be there.
I can only hope that I would do the right thing.

Conversion from string "2007-04-18 20:24:07" to type 'Date' is not valid All that testosterone and bull*feces* appears to have crashed the board, and deservedly so. My Oh-So-Right-Wing boss was waxing on about how he would have just shot the *fudge*er, when I asked him a very simple question: 'Have you ever fired a gun at another human being with intent to do grievous bodily injury in a real life combat or self defense situation?' His answer was no, and I told him I have and it's just not that easy. And it's not. Something like 30 pct of people will not fire when fired upon, regardless of training. |

I can't say what I'd do. Actually, that isn't entirely accurate. I know some of what I'd do: I'd pray. As to what action I would take, I don't know. I've not been in a situation like that. I know how I handle other situations when there's a possibility of me or someone else getting hurt, and can only hope that I would react the same in a situation that is magnified to this extent. However, there is one other think I know. If there is something that I should do, I know that God would give me the strength to carry it out.
