Scenario: mall shooting and you're there!
« on: November 24, 2015, 08:07:41 PM »
You're in the mall, you hear gunfire. You can't tell where it's coming from yet. You can run but don't know how many. You can possibly hide. You might have to fight back. What handgun do you want on you? What's your plan?

What handgun do you want on you?

If I were in this scenario, I'd probably DROS a Beretta M9, and ten 24 hour periods later I'd go on the offensive to try to stop the attacker.

No seriously... the obvious answer is whatever gun you have on you. If you always carry the best pistol for defending yourself, then you'll always have it. If for you, that means a HiPoint 9, great. If it's a Desert Eagle 50AE, great. Whatever it is, just make sure you HAVE IT!
I'm only here for the timeshare presentation

>be me at mall
>going to the Big and Tall to find some XXXXXL shirts and 68" jeans
>hear gunshots in the distance
>the sounds of war approacheth
>my time has come
>strip down to birthday suit
>grab bottle of Tactical Body Oil© I always carry, apply it liberally
>waddle out into main hallway
>see three terrorists with AK's walking out of the cafeteria area
>all three immediately blinded by my obese, bleach white, glistening oil coated body
>I harness the power of blubber and get a running start, then dive so I skid across the ground like a penguin
>I slide into all three terrorists, knocking them down into a teen girls clothing store
>they try to grab me, but my oil coated body is too slippery
>immediately grab the muzzle of one AK while the terrorist fires, thus having the bullet enter a fire extinguisher
>fire extinguisher jets goes off like a rocket, decapitating one terrorist and creating a giant cloud of white dust
>in the confusion, I roll over and get behind Twilight movie poster display
>two more to go
>both terrorists are now up, trying to find me
>one walks in front of me
>I scream "GHOST GUNS!" to get his attention, he swivels and looks
>he is immediately blinded by the sparkly vampire in the Twilight dislay
>I burst through display and wrench the AK from him, then put two to the head
>the last terrorist sees me, opens fire
>I jump and take cover behind the register
>see an iPod attached to the speakers for the store
>have an idea
>plug my ears with tissues
>immediately turn on 'Friday' by Rebbecca Black
>the terrorist drops to the ground screaming in pain, clutching his ears
>I jump up and pump the rest of the mag into him
>I stand there, wheezing, realizing my true form
>I am the apex predator

But yeah anyway, I'd probably carry an M&P Shield.

I will look for an exit, or if that's not possible I will seek cover and curse myself for carrying a .380.

An HK Mark 23 with suppressor.  Why? Because it's an offensive handgun.  You're not an operator, so you wouldn't understand.  And HK hates you.

1) Run for cover.
2) Exit safely ASAP.

As for handgun. My EDC is a S&W 442/642 so I have 5 shots to get to safety.  To answer the question, What gun I want...well a Glock 19 with 2 extra standard magazines would work.  :)

IF, I can help others who have a similar plan I will, otherwise I'm not looking to be a hero, just to get out alive, unharmed.  I shoot defensively, not offensively unless I am in a superior position.

Funny, cause its normally white guys doing these things, but hey, lets not pass up a chance to spew hate.

Ok, last time!  If it's before noon and we haven't had breakfast yet, it's Cinnabon.  From lunchtime on, it's HDOAS!  Don't make me tell you guys again!
