    Center mass is a larger area, thus less chance of missing. And you are responsible for every round you fire whether it hits the intended target or not.

    Many of the mass shooters were wearing armor when they commited their cowardly deeds

    Thats why i'm leaning towards the Sig Rattler supressed and in .300 BO for an EDC. The only problem is it's a pain to appendix carry, lol.

    Appendix carry is not good idea in my book. Even with Wasp Spray :eek:

    Pepper spray or pepper gel, depending on wind conditions. How about bear spray? It has a much further range.

    A head shot will stop somebody wearing the best body armor on Earth.

    Takes better aim and much much higher chance of hitting another person. But if you are in very close range.....

    That comment for the win, we ain't in Hollyweird out here - ya pull the trigger, something very real happens on the other end.

    The target of a human head at 20' absolutely must be a bullseye shot, and there is no zoom effect button.
     
    Bean Jr. Thanks this.
