Personally, expecting anyone to spring into action under those circumstances, unless cornered, is... Im not drawing a good word here. Implausible, I guess.
I think I know the word you're trying to come up with. It starts with "bull" and ends with something the auto-censor will delete.
Apparently that pertained to standing there and looking at Her look at You.
You mean "amounted", not "pertain". Alex can't be the only one corrected, even if he IS the most often corrected. And the least likely to take correction...
What kind of gun? Fun fact: Semiautomatic Handguns do not need to be cocked. Fun fact: The majority of firearms You see being carried around by Police and Criminals, unless its different in the USA, are Semi Automatic Handguns.
Actually, there are single action semi-automatic handguns. Being semi-automatic is unrelated to the gun being Single action or double action.
