People talk about what happens when you have to shoot in self defense. I actually experienced it! I don't Remember drawing my Glock 17 and barely remember the gun going off. Some will say the following is excessive, I shot him until he fell. A friend heard the gun fire and said he heard pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop. Yes, I shot him 6 times with 124 gr Federal Hydroshocks. First 2 went into his lower jaw and upper chest and the next 4 went into his side. I didn't know how many times I fired until the police came and investigated. They found six cases on the ground. There was a big row over it. Owner was mad, owners friends were mad, I was in the newspaper and Rush Limbaugh even mentioned it on his show. I was cleared of any wrong doing. I learned right then and there that I DON'T EVER want to be in a DGU involving a human being. It was mentally stressful enough shooting a dog.
