Unless you're SWAT or Secret Service or something, anybody who aims for anything else doesn't deserve to have a gun. -- nm - Ender Feb 10, 10:38 9
- I would be really surprised if SS had orders other than shoot to kill. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 10:39 8
  - SS also have to account for possible body armor of potential attackers - Beryllium Feb 10, 10:41
  - I'm thinking there more of the "hiding behind the hostage" situation where the center body mass isn't available. -- nm - Ender Feb 10, 10:41 6
    - I don't think sharpshooters are SS. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 10:41 5
      - yes, SS has snipers stationed, usually to beat the competition to the best spots, remember west wing with CJ discussing the "JAR" rifles the SS use - zeitgeist Feb 10, 10:59 1
        
        cool, thanks. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 11:01
      - We are nowhere near the point here. The point is, unless you're specially trained to do so, you always aim for the body. Anything else is a good way to end up dead. -- nm - Ender Feb 10, 10:43 1
        
        totally agreed, I was just going off on a tangent. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 10:44
      - I'm sure some SS folks have been sharpshooters in the past, though. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 10:42

- The only issue I might have is if he isn't licensed to provide armed security. - TWuG Feb 10, 10:38 2
  - Yeah, only question I had was his status since flannel's an interesting choice of uniform. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 10:45 1
    - sometimes it's easier to be low-profile. all the security guards in the local department store are plainclothes (but I'd bet none of them have guns) -- nm - mafic Feb 10, 10:47
yeah, if a guy is holding a gun to someone's head, you dno't shoot to piss him off. you shoot to stop him. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 10:35
who? bentley driver? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 10:34 2
- minnie had a kid? -- nm - mafic Feb 10, 10:41
