Well lets see .The Police have received more training than most gun owners Plus they have to qualify 1 or 2 times a year . Yet in almost every shooting they throw a lot more lead and many more misses . Than the untrained man or women defending their home or their self on street or in a store.
Watch Police shootings on u tube . Its lets see how fast can empty the mag . I think most cops should be packing a 6 shot revolver. Not a 15 shot semi auto. Maybe they would learn to hit what they shoot at. They also need to be trained to be a little less trigger happy. To many people now days getting shot That really haven't done anything to get shot . In other words untrained or little training citizen. Hit better when shooting in self defense than the so called professional LEO . Why is that? Maybe these citizens that have no or little training should be instructing the police. __________________ What you have said is so wrong on so many different levels, I wouldn't even begin to know where to start to offer up a rebuttal. Having said that, I'll just leave it at that and safely assume you have no idea as to what you are saying. Unbelievable............... |

Examples: The boy that was shot in Walmart last week while purchasing a toy gun, the Fergason MO, shooting of an unarmed teenager, I remember an incident that happen a few years ago where a female police officer in Chicago shot a female passenger in a car for a traffic stop and the victim only had a cell phone in her hands, this and a large number of police shootings of unarmed citizens. (If you want I can do a Google search for you) If it continues as it is going, the public will be crying out for the scalps of all these police offices and their chiefs. You have to remember that the members of the city councils, town and county boards and village trustees are just plain citizens most of whom do not even own guns. So if you can stop a burglar or a car jacking without having to fire a shot, then I say good for you. Otherwise the public will think we are just a bunch or trigger happy apes that should have our guns taken away. (Bloomberg for one) So let's teach when not to shoot as well as, when we have no other choice. Jim

It is impossible to make categorical statements on these matters.
