I just thought that I'd send this tid-bit along to Mas...

Dr. Mr. Ayoob,

I recently saw a posting on FreeRepublic.com with a quote attributed to you in a report from the "Violence Policy Center." Here's the link http://www.vpc.org/press/0111unin.htm . The third paragraph quotes you directly, although the source isn't cited. While this quote sounds genuine, the report is titled, "Pro-Gun Experts Prove Handguns Are Ineffective Self-Defense Tools, New VPC Study Reveals." It's nothing new that you've championed training for anyone who wants to have a firearm for self defense, but I believe that this press release really twisted your words.

I thought that you might be interested that you, as a "Pro-Gun Expert" believe that "handguns are ineffective self defense tools."

Sincerely,

He already knows about it. I posted this on MCRGO's board as well. Our exec director is a friend and a trainee of Ayoob. He talked to Ayoob, and this could be interesting.

Ross(exec director) - Well I called Mas about the article. Suffice it to say that he's not amused. VPC may yet regret that piece.

I'll be posting an update when I hear anything.
