Thumbs up. Of course if you follow Massad Ayoob's advice of shooting someone in the back you KNOW you're going to be judged on the old "He/she wasn't an immediate threat" meme. Of course since you would have been there and the "judgers" were not, only you can make the real time assessment on when to shoot. NEVER say you weren't in fear for your life.

Questions can be asked later, if necessary.

Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

Technically speaking, that is ‘Tuco’s Rule’, from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966).

“When you have to shoot, shoot. Don’t talk.”

You should even hear it in Eli Wallach’s voice when you read it.

“When you have to shoot, shoot; Don’t talk.”

Being correctly certain you have to shoot is the problem.

Wait....What?

They are “Highly” in the use of firearms. How could this happen?

As Sheriff Explorer I shot with my local Sheriff Dept a couple of times a year.

Way too many sucked.

I recall on officer shooting his silhouette and at the of the set, he had shot the shoulders of the silhouette and several rounds were outside the black.

AT 12 FRICKIN YARDS!!!

I laughed and remarked “Looks like you winged him” and another officer laughingly said “Nice of you to let him live. I’duh shot him dead”.

To many LEO don’t take that tool on their hip seriously and far too many feel that statistically they won’t ever draw their weapon much less fire it.

For them, this skill isn’t important.

Frickin stoopid. The day may come when your life, the lives of your fellow brothers, the public or maybe your family will depend your ability to defend everyone with extreme prejudice.

The officer had the nerve to remark “You’re shooting ain’t all that great”.

I did a double shake of my head, looked at my target and saw one round off target. Probably the one where I was shooting the head of my target but, all others where in the middle of the head and in the 8 and 10 rings.

Fk him..
