“As for “bothering to read the story” DUHHH! I posted it so obviously I read it.”
If you say so.
“As for worrying about toy guns and such..get a grip!”
Well, tell that to the mothers whose children have been killed by mistaken policemen thinking they we acting in self-defense. It has happened more than once.
There’s an obvious risk that the sound of gunfire in a highly congested civilian area might alarm someone. If a bank robber fires his weapon at the ceiling, and someone dies of a heart attack, a homicide has occurred. Why allow our brave soldiers to be at risk of causing such an unfortunate event in peacetime? It makes no good sense.

Huh? that makes no sense. You are comparing that to a carefully planned manuever?

Wow, I live in a congested civilian area where one might hear a gunshot during the night, heck, Milwaukee's murder rate has been one of the highest thanks to years of another loopy mayor Nordquist and his village idiot police chief Arthur Jones (thankfully we have a decent chief now). Besides not giving me a heart attack I don't let it keep me from going about my business. I sure would feel better though knowing it was coming from a Marine training excercise.
