unformed 0 #1 August 31, 2006 As felons who do not know how to properly take care of or aim a gun are unintentionally shooting innocent victim who are not the intended target, should we offer free basic accuracy classes to convicted felons and children who are expected to become violent criminals?

SpeedRacer 1 #4 September 1, 2006 a lot of the gangstas like to hold their pistols sideways when they shoot. only works at point-blank range. why interfere with this??? Also, I've heard many cops say that one of the boons to their profession was the gangsta tradition of wearing huge baggy pants sliding down their ass. Even a grossly overweight cop can run down one of these guys, as they lope along trying to hold their pants up with one hand!

Skyrad 0 #6 September 1, 2006 I used to work on the trauma teams in Jo'burg (Thats in South Africa for you Yanks) and our biggest grip was that the standard of shooting was crap. If the gangsters shot better we wouldn't have so much work, so yea, I'm all for it.When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

Quote I saw a guy at the Knob Creek Machine gun shoot out with a chrome(not nickel) plated 9mm with a red dot scope mounted on the side of the slide, I asked him if he did the work himself, his reply? " Ah hell no, I had a gunsmith do this, now I can use my natual pointing style, and I don't miss. I saw him waste a half magazine on a target that wasn't more than 25 feet away, and hit it once. Damn that was funny!!!!! He even had a really baggy set of BDU trousers on that had the legs shortened so they would hang off him like in 'da hood.(he was from memphis) I think he may have been an addict as he was really really skinny and had that look Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Skyrad 0 #9 September 1, 2006 QuoteQuoteI used to work on the trauma teams in Jo'burg (Thats in South Africa for you Yanks) and our biggest grip was that the standard of shooting was crap.
