Entangled Fight With Weapons 2/12/25
Another interesting fight involving a private citizen, weapons, and grappling.
Once again, we see the bad guy move into contact range to impose his will on the good guy, even though he has a handgun. The good guy fights back – without a gun of his own – and using grappling and striking not only survives the attack, he also turns the table on the bad guy.
Even if the good guy had a gun of his own, trying to get his own out under those circumstances and paling High Noon would most certainly have led to getting shot or even killed. His only chance was grappling against a drawn gun.
And I hope to god no one brings up “head on a swivel” to try to justify why they would not have let the bad guy get that close. We are uni-taskers. True multitasking is available for about 1% of the population. We all would have been mentally dealing with the retail situation in front of us, not dancing around “not letting anyone get lose to us”.
