To make sure they stop when they are actively stabbing someone yes you do. Ever shoot someone?

It's people that have never shot a gun. They think all shots are amazingly accurate.


Worse yet they think handguns are highly accurate out to 50-100 meters while running!

Because the current tactic is working so well..


In this case it did. The suspect was actively attacking another citizen with a deadly weapon. Thus deadly force was completely authorized.....now next you will say “but a knife” too which I will say a knife is a deadly weapon even in a novices hand.

The Bee Alternatives to Deadly Force

Squirt gun filled with pee: Right in the mouth. Works every time.

Bring Joe Biden with you: Biden is widely feared in the criminal underworld ever since his courageous showdown with Cornpop. One look at Biden and the criminal will surrender.

Try a Three Stooges finger-jab: Moe famously used this ancient technique to non-lethally neutralize Larry. Follow it up with a cheek slap and a nose pinch if the suspect continues to resist.

Call a compassionate social worker: Within 30-45 minutes, a professional will arrive with a clipboard to question the suspect about their relationship with their father. While you wait for the social worker to arrive, be sure to distract the suspect with the pee squirt gun.

It is terrifying how many people believe shooting the legs is a viable solution. Every time I hear someone make this claim I cringe so hard.


I’d like to see all of these people who claim this, go out to a range, and try to hit the center of a paper target with a handgun. I bet there won’t be a single hole anywhere on that entire piece of paper, let alone the center of the target. People who don’t shoot guns, don’t understand how incredibly hard it is to be accurate shooting a handgun. Even once you do become good with a handgun, it’s still hard to be accurate with it.

That man that shot that guy who tried to shoot up a Church of Christ in Texas, he shot the shooter with a single shot to the head from 15-25 yards out. That is a hell of a shot and one that takes years and years of experience to do. I’m pretty sure that guy was a shooting instructor and ex military guy so he’s obviously had a lot of experience and practice with guns.

That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of, especially when he could have shot the knife out of her hand instead.

Not worth it. Places will burn. The cop will have to hide in a cave for 5 years.

Technically correct. I just recertified. It's 2 center mass and one to the head.
