Entangled Weapon Fight Once Again

And again we revisit an entangled weapons fight involving private citizens. Even though many SMEs will try to still insist that these things never happen, they do.

From Texas on September 14th. Take note that neither man is a skilled grappler but it still went to an entanglement. As a matter of fact, the gun being there made the entanglement far MORE likely rather than less. People don’t want to be shot, and if they are not paralyzed with fear, they will instinctively grab for the weapon and/or control. It is stunning to see how so many “experts” can’t grasp this fundamental concept.

Also notice that even though the older man brought the gun to the fight, the younger guy got control and took it, and could have easily used it to kill the older guy. The gun is not a magic talisman that works just because it is there. Nor does it work as an intimidator if the other guy refuses to accept the intimidation. If you cannot control the position and the actions of the other person, and they are within 4-5 yards, having control of your gun is a crapshoot.
