OK - It seems silly of me to reply to every single sentence so I'm going to lump it all.
Just because you are shooting at the chest does not mean you're hitting the heart. Heart is a very tiny target and shooting at the head isn't as easy as you think. Nobody aims for head - only center of mass - "torso area." In my video clip - yes I aimed for chest and head because it's just a training to improve my marksmanship and agility but that DOES NOT mean I'm going to perform exactly same thing to any intruder. ABSOLUTELY NOT. Like I said million times - USE YOUR BEST JUDGMENT to access the situation and to CALMLY choose appropriate strategy to neutralize the target. I was training for
IDPA competition (International Defensive Pistol Association). It's just for sport purpose.
If my girlfriend and I were confronted by a large, dangerous armed man.... yes I may possibly use that same technique (from video clip) on him - head and chest because I have made my judgment that he may shoot back so I must perform 100% lethal self-defense strategy. Sure I can just give him money and that's it. But HOW DO I KNOW? I do not care what the statistic says - "most robber just take money and run away." You do not know that for sure! What if he takes our money and then decides to kill me because he's in mood to rape my girlfriend and then kill her to leave no witness? NO MA'AM.... I'm not taking that chance and neither do 10000000 other citizens. I will assume any hostile target is posed to kill any innocent.
I will answer some of your posts line by line for clarification purpose.

See the links above, I posted. I know from someone that a driver did not do anything to Police Officer but tried to tell him to check speed limit sign... and ask him to read him and his right... that's it. Police Officer handle incorrectly.
Again - I told you... do
NOT argue with the police and you can fix this ticket at the court. SIMPLE

How? I only do what the Police Officer require is my driving liesce and papers, ID... All what I have is in my purse... They would arrest me for disobey him if I put my purse away?... How? I alway carry driving liescne, papers and ID in my purse to everywhere... case the police ask for my ID... Police do ask me for my ID sometimes to the public or in the car.
No no - For example.... you have already shown your ID and papers to officer. And then the officer will tell you what's the charge. "I pulled you over because you ran that STOP sign." and then you started being argumentative to him that the tree was obstructing the view or whatsoever. And then you suddenly reached into your purse to get your cell phone to call your lawyer. THAT IS RED FLAG. The cop will think you're reaching for gun in your purse!

I would agree if they use foul language or disrespect on Police Officer but... why can't they open their mouth when they want to say something to Police Officer?
You can... in a CALM professional manner. If the cop still thinks he is right, JUST ACCEPT IT. You can argue and defend your case AT COURT! Many people argued with the officer, thinking it will change everything...

wow interesting! I thought sign the ticket mean that I am guilty of the charge... We often were being advised to NEVER sign if we doubt... but go direct to lawyer.
As I said - signing the ticket (only in USA so I don't know about other country) does not mean you are admitting the guilt. It only means you pledged to appear at court.

Here in Germany, the police do not need to stop us for over-speeding driving but the speed camera. We got flashed by speed camera when we are over-speeding limit. Few days later we got a letter from police to see how much we have to pay speeding fine with how many points, they add in my driving liescne if my speeding limit is more than 15 ..., if under 15, no points. This is a simple.
Big Brother at work....
I wonder - How does police know whose license to add points to? What if it were your friend driving the car?

Your posts make me wondering because you often say about chest, etc., kill is okay, not wound... Many police officers prefer to shoot to wound the people to stop them from threat... Shoot to wound them to make them fall down which easy for police officer to catch them... that's why I said "I guess that America and Germany is different.
Police Officers in USA are NOT ALLOWED to shoot at UNARMED people. They are NOT ALLOWED to shoot at leg/arm to stop them from running.

Monthly fees? I understand now why the people prefer to use gun because it's cheap than alarm system. (seurity system) there in America.
After read your post, I asked my friend at BBQ party last saturday about this because I know she do have security system after burglary break in their house once. They said that they do not need to pay month fee... The police department was being paid by government. That's it.
oh no no you misunderstood. Alarm Security System is not government-run. You pay monthly fees to some security companies. Are you saying your friend is using security system monitored by police department?

flashlight installed on their guns? Do you mean it helps to not shoot head or heart? Correct?
No No - it HELPS to identify who the target is. That means I won't be ACCIDENTALLY shooting my neighbor or a teen.
You talked about your 2 incidents about when you were alone. Well how about this - what if it was a "norm" to carry a gun (only lawful citizens)? Nobody's going to hurt you and you can jog alone at night.
In Germany - criminals know nobody is carrying guns therefore everybody is an easy target!
about the bike incident where you almost hit him... have you considered that the biker may be scared because you are probably reaching for gun in your purse?
