Like so many things in the self-defense community, the issue of hitting bystanders with defensive gunfire is somewhat contested as to how real or pertinent a danger it proves to be. In my assessment, most leading experts in the firearms training field focus heavily on accountability with your shooting. Every round hits something, so being cognizant of what is behind, in front of, or around your target is of paramount importance. However, some “experts” seem to dismiss the issue as perhaps an important consideration but an unlikely eventuality, suggesting that it rarely happens. So, what is the truth regarding the possibility of hitting bystanders? Does it happen? Is it a pressing concern? |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
