In firearm simulation training taught by a sheriff's deputy, firing into a vehicle was frowned upon. The reason being you don't know who else is in the vehicle. He told us that the driver may or may not be acting upon free will (think hostage). So if you know for a fact the driver who just ran over someone on purpose is alone in the vehicle, its generally not a good idea to shoot at a vehicle. Besides, bullets from even a large rifle do not generally stop a vehicle. Taking the driver out is the only sure way to stop an automobile.Abraham wrote:Slinging bullets at a fleeing vehicle is my point and my only point.
I'd be very interested in hearing further from an LEO how wise an idea that is...maybe it's a wonderful idea, but I rather doubt it...
P.S. The Army, CPR, etc., isn't part of my point.
If available, I really recommend fire arm simulation training. It will open your eyes to what you think is a good shot or not and how you will focus on the threat and maybe not notice innocent victims behind your target. You learn to quickly determine to shoot or hold your fire. And most importantly, watch people's hands.
