So it is okay to talk about shooting skills on an open forum but not weapon rention in your opinion? That just seems strange to me.

And I don't know how one could literally prove they were not a criminal? You could do a background check on someone but to be even halfway serious would require a fair bit of money and time. You would need to KNOW vs taking their word for it on were they had lived and what their name(s) had been.

"Something like 20% of police officers killed are killed with their own guns. Criminals practice disarms in prison. I am not going to help them by showing a criminal either retention or disarm techniques." How much of that is due to skill of the officers opponent and how much to lack of skill on the officers part? Or the fact that the LEO worked five 12 hour shifts in a row?
