Thumbs down Gun dealer sold to both Va. Tech & NIU Shooters.

Geez.

I didn't even think it was possible to sell GUNS over THE INTERNET.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The online gun dealer who sold a weapon to the Virginia Tech shooter said it was an unnerving coincidence that he also sold handgun accessories to the man who killed five students at Northern Illinois University.
Eric Thompson said his website, www.topglock.com, sold two empty 9 mm Glock magazines and a Glock holster to Steven Kazmierczak on Feb. 4, just 10 days before the 27-year-old opened fire in a classroom and killed five before committing suicide.

Another website run by Thompson's company, www.thegunstore.com, also sold a Walther .22-caliber handgun to Seung-Hui Cho, who killed 32 people in April on the Virginia Tech campus before killing himself.

My opinion, at best, the poor untrained folks stay calm to not draw attention to the assailant and/or play dead; and if possible SAFELY AND QUIETLY attempt leaving the premises.
In regards to your accuracy it might be an issue of having your dominant eye on one side of your body while having your dominant hand on the other.

As far as “playing dead,” I would only suggest that if you have been seriously wounded. It would be very difficult for anyone in that situation to suppress their natural reactions to a life threatening situation to convincingly play dead. Let the flight response take over and escape the situation; it’s much more difficult to hit a moving target. Of course the NIU Gunman had a shotgun at close range so his shooting prowess wasn’t a major issue.

You can purchase firearms online but the delivery must go through a licensed firearms dealer.
