Re: Ask A Police Officer

^^^^

That is true. About 4 or so months ago they had a cop here that was escorting a funeral procession. A guy cut into the procession so the officer pulled him over into a parking lot to issue him a ticket. Aparently something happened but the officer and the man got into a wrestling match in an Auto Zone parking lot. The cop fired 1 .40 into the guys stomach and he kept fighting. A citizen came out of Auto Zone and saw what was going on. He retrieved his .45 auto out of his car and demanded the guy get off of the officer. The man didn't listen and after the man warned him enough he drilled two rounds into the guys chest. The guy continued to wrestle with the officer so again the guy warned him, guy didn't listen so the citizen dumped 2 more shots into his chest. By this time the citizen was about 5' from the scuffle and the guy was still clobbering the officer so the guy put one in his head and ended it.

So here is a guy that took 4 .45's from a max distance of 15' and 1 .40 point blank and was still fighting. I am sure he would have bled out soon enough but until that happens you are still in the game. The human body releases chemicals into the body much like adrynylin(sp) when wounded that sometimes can keep you fighting even when severly wounded. Alot of people have studied the effects of a GSW on the human body, most gunshot survivors say that they feel an initial sharp stabbing pain, then a burning sensation, then they don't feel it. Ever hit your finger with a hammer? The initial impact hurts but after that the body shuts off the nervs in that area to keep you from feeling pain. About the only way to assure a 1 stop shot would be in the T zone, a direct hit that basicly destroys the heart, or a hit that damages the body's central nervous system enough that it shuts down. Anything else nomatter how damaging it is the only way you will die is from bleeding out, depending on what is hit that could take up to 5 min., which is pleanty enough time for you to hurt someone else.
