well said. at ten feet you should be able to put three rounds just about where you want them, even with a moving target. if you ever saw the movie barbarosa, he said one thing that really stuck with me.

you stand firm until you have done all the shooting you are going to do. nothing makes a man more nervous than someone standing still who should be running like a scalded a$$ed ape.

what you say is true, unless you are employed by the NYC police department. they cant seem to hit jack from 10 feet.

This one cracks me up...

A man was shot repeatedly in the foot at 10:55 p.m. Saturday at East 99th Street and 2nd Avenue. He was taken to Metropolitan Hospital.
How on earth is someone shot repeatedly in the foot? Not the feet, but the foot? What's repeatedly too is it twice, three times, or more.

Why would someone shoot someone else in the foot repeatedly? It boggles the mind.

When a gun is used to commit a crime why should the members of law enforcement have to guess who is the guns owner and responsible for its safe use? Gun owners should be the first people to be concerned with gun control after all who would want their gun to be the cause of somebodies death or serious injury??

Well in New York they should have no issue, since there's registration of handguns in New York (assuming that the guns were left at the scene of the crime of course). Should be a good test case for proposed gun registries shouldn't it. We should ask how the NY Gun registry is helping solve these crimes.

i would say any police department, or any civilian government agency. the military seems to hit what they shoot at though.
