Anytime I think of civilians opening fire, I'm reminded of Diallo case in NYC where trained officers put like 19 of 41 shots into a guy 15 feet away.

including 11 shots to the legs.

Now, if trained officers who are not accostomed to live-fire situations are less than 50% from 15 feet...what do we think Packing Heat rookie is going to do under live-fire?

handguns are horribly inaccurate even if you have time to line up the shoot -- nm - zork Jul 20, 08:36

        All Will was doing was pointing out that a high-stress situation can negatively impact training & skill when it comes to shooting. You brought race. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 20, 08:44 3

        Oh, I know, I'm just saying that it's completely tangential to Will's original point. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 20, 08:46 1
        
        ... and that we should be discussing *will's original point*, not this. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 20, 08:47
        
        I knew where you were coming from. -- nm - znufrii Jul 20, 08:43
        
        and I am just trying to be a sarcastic ass. - groiny Jul 20, 08:43 1

      - oh, is that what your post was? nm -- nm - groiny Jul 20, 08:40 2
        
        yeah i was confused since i wasn't talking about that case beyond the stats -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 20, 08:43
        
        This. Exactly. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 20, 08:42
    - They could tell him jokes first to get him to smile. - TWuG Jul 20, 08:38 1
      - I was going to make the same (but different) joke but decided against it. -- nm - sycor Jul 20, 08:43
