For those of us who own a firearm and think they can hit a kneecap of a mugger or robber at close range, please commit to the following exercise:
Will need:
-1 clay pigeon.
-Sidearm of your choice with preferred method of concealment and ONE round for said sidearm.
-trusting friend
Phase 1.
Step one: Go to firing range and have a friend hold onto the clay pigeon for you while you do the following.
Step two: Park vehicle one mile from firing range (preferably with a hill somewhere in between)
Step three: Arrange sidearm as you would while carrying concealed.
Step four: RUN all the way to the range, immediatly upon arrival do 20 rapid pushups. During step four, your friend will place the clay pigeon on the range and exit the line of fire
Step five: Immediatly upon completion of step four you will jump to your feet, quickdraw your sidearm, and use the ONE round you have in your sidearm to hit that clay pigeon. If it's a fluke, do it again.
Phase 2.
Repeat phase 1 except using a mannequin for a target. More likely than not, you'll aim for center mass every time rather than try for a kneecap.
