I've talked several times about what the human body is capable of under stress, and how difficult it is to use firearms in the middle of a confrontation.
Words are fine, but video does a better job. Seeing can be believing. So, I submit the following....

OMG! How awful!
Makes me glad I decided against carrying a .22 and chose a revolver instead of a pistol! Course the bad guy in that video probably would have knocked me out cold in the first 2 seconds anyway. Probably? Who am I kidding? No doubt about it.

Crap. I can't see it at work.
They passed an old woman who was just opening the door of a brown Cadillac. An old man was already sitting in the passenger seat. The car had a personalized plate with the letters “J-U-S-P-R-A-Y”.
“That stuff work?” Israel said to her.
“‘Scuse me?” the little old woman said, clutching her keys.
“The spray. Does it keep them away?”
“Keep who away?” She looked confused.
“I gotcha.” Israel gave her a conspiratorial wink.

I didn't watch the video (because I'm having a nice day so far), but that phenomenon has always interested me as well. I saw on a show once where a middle-aged "average Joe" lifted a shelf unit weighing hundreds of pounds after it fell on his wife. Weird stuff.

Yeah. You'd think there'd be a scholarly study of the phenomenon, but I've never been able to find one. Maybe because the evidence is anecdotal, and hard-scientists tend to underrate that stuff. I can think of experiments, but God forbid they ever be tried.

Don't those experiments lead to turning green and ripping your shirt off?

Haw! Yeah, Ken, but that was an accident.

Was it? Or is that just the price?
