New FBI Report on Felonious Assaults
This is the link of part of the FBI study that has taken five years to complete. The report dispels the myth that criminals are lousy shots, and that they do in fact train with their guns. If anything, this report should remind us all to train constantly and remain vigilant.

Very informative report. Thanks.
I'm surprised they don't use holsters, though. |

But please recognize that this is not the FBI UCR report, but rather a review of that several hundred page report.

They don't use holsters cause belt rigs are much harder to ditch in a hurry than just the gun.
The report does not supprise me. Now I do see a misunderstanding as to how many of them practice. Some hardcore do, but not every thug on the street. Nor the bravado about how many of them are willing to shoot it out. I think that's just mostly brag. I notice gangs don't shoot it out with cops all that much. And it's easy to say how tough you would be when you don't have to do the walk at that time.

of course there werent, even i can see that and im not in the US, all the people I see here know about guns and although I think some are a little paranoid none of them seem like they would act like clowns showing off.
