Even with body armor, nothing throws off your concentration-- or your aim-- like being shot at.

Gotta agree with this.  It would seem that your first instincts--even for a psycho such as this one--would be self-preservation, if only to inflict more damage.

I hate to disagree but the shooter was covered head to toe with body armor. That means that someone would have to made a head shot on the guy while dodging a hail of bullets and trying to deal with gas and people scrambling for safety. Very unlikely.

While I wouldn't and won't recommend it for a personal carry weapon to be discharged in a crowd situation....this is a situation where "The Judge" would have come in handy. Take your best shot with the 4 .38 calibre disc and 16 steel BB's per 3" shell and hope that one of the projectiles enters his eyes or some unprotected area.

If everyone between you and the shooter is down and scrambling for cover or the exit...you still need to be withinn 25/30 of the shooter and no innocents behind him.

I have a friend that swears by The Judge. After he bought his and saw it in action he went straight to the gun shop and bought one for his wife.

Hey DUmmies. While we're at it how about repealing the 4th and the 5th? Idiots.

One time when working security for a  premiere for the movie "Journey To The Center Of The Earth ",The one with Braden Frasier. I had a guy come up to me and show me his pistol and for a moment I had no idea what was going on till he flashed a badge and it was an  Omaha Police Officer who was also there to work for the theater. It's the only time I have seen a cop at work for one of those events and I don't know if it would have made any difference had something similar broke out then. All I know is that he had a .38 revolver and against someone with body armor it wouldn't be enough gun to stop them.
