Expert Shot for the Moment.

Expert Shot for the Moment.
ond this woman who has never fired
pistol approaches the ideal condition
of the expert pistol shot-a sure point.
steady hand, Indifference to the
jump or the report and the sure trig-
ger pull Usually the report instantly
reduces this awful, iron-nerved figure
of vengeance to limp, sobbing, tear
full heap. Sometimes the brainstorm
lasts long enough for the firing of sew
eral shots. If any miss it win usually
be the last one or two fired.
In any event, this same woman who
has executed such swiftly accurate
satisfaction for her injuries could net
hit any sort of mark with her pistol
under anything like normal condi-
tions. The chances are that she would
scream and drop the weapon when it
was discharged, and her bullet would
be likely 80 pierce the sky or bury
itself in the ground. In any event,
the result would be an accident.
For the same reason a hold-up
man is as dangerous as mad dog.
He is usually tie cheapest, most con-
eemptible type e man to be found III
all the criminal class. He is apt to
he frail, almost weakling, his nerves
shattered with drugs and drink. He
is nervous and afraid when he stands
some stout citizen up at the point Of
his revolver. If the citizen resists, If
he starts for the hold-up man, or
strikes at him, the thug is, apt to shoot
in sheer fear, and fear of that sort,
completely dominating creature of
such type, is very apt to make him
point on instinct and shoot deadly
straight.
But the average, normal man who
tries to shoot with revolver has
probably fred a few times and is
painfully conscious of the fact that
he can't hit a barn door. He tries to
aim. he delays too long with his point.
His muzzle wabbles; the bullet may
strike anywhere. Even when pos
sessed with wrath, the average
healthy, normal man has nervous
system strong enough to resist the
complete control of himself by the
passion which controls his actions.
He still thinks, as he shoots, what he
is doing. He has his attention partly
diverted to the weapon. And the tar
get has fair chance.
But the overweight woman who
thinks she is desperately wronged
never seems to miss.
