Pool Q Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 If the Mum had had another gun she might have been able to shoot the kid to defend herself. More guns is the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunchy Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 2 things for me First why did she not have the safety on ( if it had one) Second if must have been a very light triggered gun as I would not expect a small 2 year or child to be able to pull a normal trigger easily. I could be wrong but I'm sure our ex courses guys would be able to say more about the pull pressure needed to fire a hand gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scunnered Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 She had a licence for a concealed firearm. Shame they don't licence these people to have kids. Think I read last night that the media wrongly reported that the woman was the child's mother... Which only makes the story all the more bizarre.

MacTaz Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Where does he glorify it ? Have you read the book ? "many who were very probably innocents " How do you know that ? Bit of a sweeping statement there considering Snipers' rules of engagement require the target to be identified as "armed". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a sweeping statement there considering Snipers' rules of engagement require the target to be identified as "armed". So armed means guilty (and fair game) in Iraq etc?
