everyone that has said 'it would be easier to shoot all the kids as they charged you', think a minute. 17 kids stand up and charge you all at once....will YOU be able to shoot them all? I was a marine for 6 years, a damn fine expert shot with both rifle and pistol, and there is absolutely no way I could plug more than 3 of them before I get swarmed. People have to STOP considering people with criminal intent as some sort of superhuman.

Also, the 'what if' situations of someone just wanting to take hostages...etc. That is how we end up with the high crime rates like DC, chicago, and new york. You should ALWAYS assume that anytime someone comes at you with a gun, knife, ball bat, golf club, katana, or any other weapon, that he means to do you serious or fatal bodily injury. NEVER assume that a bad guy will not hurt you as long as you comply. That is an invitation to certain death.
