    Ive tried hard to remain silent. Oh well here goes.

    Some of you talking headshots and some of you discouraging certain ways of shooting people. Allow me to ask that you discard that ########. I tell you why.

    If your life is about to end in the next few seconds and you draw, you are employing deadly force. There is a reason why they call armed self defense deadly force because it has the potential to kill someone provided that you intend to stop the threat and only stop the threat.

    Your Trigger fingertip has the potential to be a millimeter or three off and possibly causing you to miss the bad guy's head and taking out grandma with her poodle downrange. Oops.

    Markmanship training breaks off the rust and keeps it broken off. Combat training core classes that are provided to you via instructors who make availible military training, Possibly the United States, Possibly Israel. Possibly FBI. Or even sit a while and listen to what Mr Ayoob has to say. You cannot put a price on training done right. Virtual shooting ranges offering scenarios such as home invasion defense with no lights for example. The best training does not obligate you to open fire without a #### good reason.

    I hope you Brothers and Sisters maintain a level of proficiency that instructors demand of you.

    Yea, I'd say they do.. According to what I read in the report Knight intentionally destroyed factual evidence in the incident. Why does anyone ever drive for company's like these..

    Well, in my case, it was because I didn't do my homework, before going to work there. And yes, I was old enough to know better.:mad:

    Disgruntled? Who comes up with this '$hiť... like being gruntled sounds like a good alternative.

    What's the other one... 'inclement' weather? As if I'd look forward to a clement forecast.

    Wow, so how are you today? Oh, I'm gruntled and it's clement out, can't complain!

    Is it just me or do most of these shootings happen on nice days?
