[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2410483, member: 9374"] That's what I mean, Brandi... I would like to think a responsible person (a stretch, I know) with limited sight capabilities would use good judgement and only utilize such a dangerous tool if there were no other option AND he knew his target was "almost guaranteed". Such as in a case like Zimmerman (again, looking ONLY at the actual physical confrontation) where someone is imminently and literally ON TOP of you. So Grandpa Munster with his 5-foot range of vision has a thug up in his face trying to assault him or already has him down, the up-close-and-personal shot, almost by FEEL, is the only option. I was trained by a CLEET instructor who had me practice the quick-draw one-handed up-close shot into the gut or chest of an attacker who was essentially at arms length. You use your off-hand to push/hold them back as much as possible, draw and fire by proprioception into the gut or chest. That's pretty much the scenario I'm envisioning. [/QUOTE]
