Mas Ayoob has one objective in everything he writes and says. That objective is to sell his books and articles and to sell his services as a trainer and expert witness. If he can invent a controversy he may get hired to settle it. I enjoy his writing and appreciate his point of view, but try to keep in mind the audience he writes for.
If you are involved in a shooting:
(6)The best defense is and always has been "the man attacked me and I feared for my life". That is all that the law requires and anything more than that just clouds the issue. Just repeat it over and over.
Once again, a very insightful posting Gutshot. I once sat in one of Mas' classes when I worked in Florida, he was there for a training class with us and the man is pretty dead-on about most of his information and insight, not to say that you're wrong because I know as well as the next guy, money talks. *LOL*
The way I view all of Mas' information and insight is that his analysis is from a post-incident, law enforcement POV, this is based upon the fact that he has law enforcement background and works with the courts for LE and civilain sides as per the cases. I have a great respect doe what hee's written even though there have been times that I begged to differ on some of his points but the man is old than me and has seen more action than I have.
Granted, Mas' is more CC oriented than OC but he has mentioned in some of his writing's, the advantage of OC.
As for this topic; I carry a SIG, there's NO SAFETY per se and I do carry with the round in the chamber, JIC. I totally & whole-heartedly agree with you on Point #6!
