I was walking with a friend around the lake in Lake Oswego in the 90s and we were going up alleys to see what all the fuss was about - was there really a 'lake?'
Long story short, a huge German shepard came charging and I instinctively pushed my friend toward the dog and did an exit stage left. Luckily the dog's chain ran out before he ate my friend.
He brings that story up frequently.
I also have a sticker on my fridge that says "When the Zombies come, I'm tripping you."
Instinctively when I am in a crowded place and carrying I look at angles, cover, exits, etc. I also include human cover in that scenario. I know that is probably wrong (LOL) but in a super bad situation a person closer to a shooter that is unarmed is probably toast anyway.
So, if you were in a crowded place and a bad guy was letting loose with gunfire would you shoot around people in the line of fire, or worse, use them as cover and advance, firing?
Seriously, I think I need to have that survival instinct trained out of me. I know an innocent bystander didn't sign up to be a bullet proof vest. Am I alone here?
Please help me I have issues!
