- Or stated another way, you don't have to wait for the perp's bullets to
- tear through your body before returning fire. The object isn't to
- take them with you. At least one well known authority has stated that
- if he finds em in house, armed, they are going down. No warning and he
- doesn't care if their back is turned. This guy knows his stuff pretty well.
