[@YouPulledOnIt]

Completely understand what you mean. I had to get my wife to understand the importance of situational awareness too. I'm trained, a veteran, all that, and she always thinks "Oh baby, you've got everything covered." But what I needed her to understand was that HER EYES AND EARS are very valuable and could make a difference, in a split second. Put your damn phone up and pay attention to our surroundings and what's going on. She finally grasped the message and realized❤ that her warning or something she observed could be the best way to keep us out of trouble by giving me a heads up if I missed something or just added recon to keep our family safe. If something goes down, I'm on it, no questions, no hesitation. But HER also being actively vigilant and aware in certain scenarios is a huge help and it makes a difference.

I ran back down the four steps and got back into my car, started bit up and was backing out while calling the police He ran out of the breezeway, looked at me and ran, I tried to hit him with my car, but he ran in-between cars in the parking lot, until I list him as I was turning around, I drive to the gate and the cops was opening the gates coming bin They searched but he got away. Afyer Tha he leasing office put up bright lights all around the building( the other lights close to the bldg were OK, but these were much better These went up that week So, I know what she means about not hearing any door close, or people talking , etc So, I knew he was not a visitor And I knew he didn't live in my bldg bc I knew my neighbors

[@DavidStruveDesigns]

When you're the victim of an ambush situation like this, it doesn't matter how many times you've gone to the range to practise your aim - you _are_ going to miss a _lot_ of your shots. And that's okay because in those situations the goal isn't precise placement of shots, it's volume of fire to get the attacker to think again, to run away or duck and not shoot at _you_ - suppression is a thing that even modern armies do for a _reason_ ... because it's effective. And it will often give you the time you need to _then_ start placing accurate shots. Anyone who has watched any kind of real-life military footage online and seen an actual ambush from the point of view of the targets/victims will see overwhelming suppression fire is the first response, and that is used to then figure out _where_ the attack is coming from and _only then_ more accurate shots are sent their way. Bit hard to do that when you've emptied your gun before suppression effect works, or it's worked but now you have no bullets _to_ put out more precise shots to end the threat. So yeah, even though I don't even live in a country with lots of guns I totally see your logic in the arguement against limits on magazine capacity.
