Carrying a handgun for real is not like TV. nor is shooting one. Those actors are more often than not carrying lightweight props because real handguns rub, chafe, make your pants fall down and underwear bunch up. I can relate, bet this person just had a tangle while in the bathroom and oops. I wonder if she'll take the Baldwin approach - never mind the smoking gun in my hand and the holes I just shot through people nobody 'pressed' the trigger......................

he missed it at that range? Adrenaline and iPhone don't aid shot placement. Actually, I'm glad nobody got hurt but that could've gone wonky fast. put the damned phone down

Maybe he didn't really want to hit it? It would be understandable if he didn't.
I'm somewhat surprised at the aggressiveness of the cat. I wouldn't have expected it to go after an adult male who was directly facing it down. I thought they were ambush predators. Plus an adult male human would be larger than the puma, wouldn't he?

Agreed I really wouldn't want to hurt the animal, but the feeling wasn't mutual was it? If he didn't have a firearm that would have ended differently. I am of the opinion (and am not alone) that when it comes to these things the only time you produce a weapon is to kill something lest you be seriously harmed or killed yourself, period. Warning shots, attempts to frighten and hesitation - no thanks. With humans the most likely result would be to have the weapon taken away. That cat could've got to him faster than he could've reacted, especially since he just had to video it. A skullbone shot would've ended the problem but that's not easy to do when the adrenaline's flowing. You show a DEC officer animal like that with powder burns on it he'll know you weren't out screwing around, it was too close. Only dangerous animal I ever shot was a large rabid raccoon and that was disturbing to me, despite having hunted in the past.
