The store clerk needs more range time.

And claymores.

Coming back into the store after being shot at. Points to a drug habit to support.

He’s lucky it wasn’t a 12 with some buck shot in it.

As illustrated in this story, it is very hard to hit your target when you cannot see the firearm.

There are ways around this.

In the Army, machine gun nests are often set up with “overlapping fields of fire”, so there are no gaps for the enemy. But at the same time, each machine gun has a stake in the ground on each side of it, to *limit* their field of fire to just their own ‘V’. This is to insure that they cover just their own field of fire.

A modified version of a limited field of fire would be very useful with a handgun or shotgun under a counter or table.

To start with, the gun should rest in a pivoting open holder, so it may be put in or removed easily. Then instead of using blocks against the movement of the gun, there would be three areas that the forearm would touch while holding the gun.

If your forearm is touching the one on the right, before the fact, you can judge your field of fire on the left, etc. Thus with minimal time or effort you can tell where you are shooting. And when necessary, pick the gun out of its pivot, for “free styling”.

One simply needs to be as familiar with the weapon as their...
