Even if I could pick off flies at 1,000 yards, if I can't see the target, I have to cover enough of the concealing barrier to be sure there's at least one bullet in the target. If someone's shooting at me and ducks behind a half-sheet of plywood, for example, I'm not going to assume that one shot to any part of the board will definitely hit the threat. Three shots evenly spaced horizontally across the center of it would give me a fair amount of confidence that he's hit, but even then it could be a fairly low stop-probability hit.baldeagle wrote:Because you think you're God's gift to marksmenship, and you only need one shot to do the job?KD5NRH wrote:Think about it; if you're shooting through a concealing object at someone you really think is going to shoot you, why would you only fire one shot?

I'd be angry too if half my dinner fell in the neighbor's yard where I can't get to it.Sharee has always had trouble with her neighbor Matt Apperson. She advised that he says and does strange things and has yelled at her in the past. On this date she observed a dead squirrel in backyard that had an apparent BB gun wound to its neck.
Which reminds me there's a new crop of squirrels in the neighborhood. I should restock A1 Dry Rub.
IMO, if the prosecutor is smart, he'll hang Apperson on the single shot.
Think about it; if you're shooting through a concealing object at someone you really think is going to shoot you, why would you only fire one shot?

Re: 17y/o Killed By Neighborhood Watch/CHL
Bullet entered the passenger side window, from what I've seen. Hard to threaten someone with your car at that angle, the bullet going through the glass proves the window was up at the time, and the window tint pretty much negates any claim that there could have been threatening gestures or whatever from inside the car. I just can't see any way this was self defense.philip964 wrote:Man had claimed George Zimmerman and he had a road rage incident six months earlier. Other reports saying man was visibly shaken and asked the person to call 911.
Who knows at this point.
