Glad your reconsidering. My take is, if you elect to stack your magazine with blanks, you are then predefining the situation you will be encountering. I would prefer to have the option of shooting into the ground if I was in the situation where a warning shot was of value. I don't think I'll ever be there though.TheReverend wrote: well, I'll carry cause I KNOW I'll do whatever it takes to protect my family. this idea came from one of the scenarios the CHL instructor brought up in class.
You walk towards the Wally in the parking lot and someone comes at you from 20-30 feet with a knife in his hand. You pull your gun out. Do you shoot immediately or would you tell him he is better off turning around and saving his sorry behind before you put one in it.
If your answer is Yes then it's exactly the same as shooting a "warning shot". it's just one more step between pulling your gun and shooting down the BG .
Sometime you have enough time to try other options before you shoot someone down and then you have to deal with the consequences.
Now troglodyte's comment about blanks not cycling the semi, that's enough for me to drop this idea. I agree that in times of need, there is no time to pull the slide.
