Two more almost related points I would like to bring up, hopefuly this has been covered before.
1. If you mount a scope on your carrying handle your sight line is up to 5" above the bore. If you sight your scope for 100 yards your point of impact will be about that low at traditional L.E.O ranges. Think about what a lawyer might have to say about an officer using a rifle that shoots about 6" off center. Especially if the weapon is "zeroed" that way.
2. Whatever sighting system you use your line of sight will be above the bore. Remember this when you shoot, even after talking about this in my unit we still had over half of the guys shooting into their cover during one of our exercises recently. Admittedly we set up this exercise to emphasize this point but I have heard of this happening in bolth law enforcment and military environments before, sometimes with grave consequences.
