*HOW DO YOU THREATEN SOMEONE WITH A GUN?* You use your weapon mounted tactical light on your handgun as a flashlight to write tickets! WITH IT STILL MOUNTED and scare everyone you stopped! I have one thing to say about that! Jeeeeeeeeeeeezus C!!!!! Kiss ALL those lights goodbye for the whole Department now! *The silent messenger*

Did you have too much coffee on the 22nd and went on some posting blitz? Dude, you can reply to more than one person in one post.

Anyways - most shooting incidents happen in relativly close ranges - within 10 feet, and lets face it, practing at a shooting range is not practicing for a shooting encounter, for various reasons. There is an entire discipline/shooting strategy in place, in fact, for shooting at point blank ranges, melee encounters. Remember - practicing (at a firing range) is not the same as training. It includes so much more than shooting at a target within the circle.

Ten feet IS a distance you should use. Making it your MAX isn't very smart. Exspecially, like I said, my distance from one end of my garage to the other (INSIDE) is 30'. Thirty feet with NO WHERE to go! LOL @ the red print. What us guys do, we could hold our own with a Navy SEAL!

I'll take your word for it, but, ummm, maybe it's your style of writing (slightly incomprehensible, somewhat overexcited) that doesn't leave me too encouraged.

Do you want a armchair commando who got straight A's in English, or do you want someone who gives it to you straight? Read my posts. You don't learn or know this stuff in beginners 101. Remember now, I'm the only one to post you don't come out of the holster blazing. It's best to ID your target and threat first. What if your son knocked that lamp over in the middle of the night?

I disagree with that statment....and if my son knocked over the that lamp in the middle of the night....that means he had to turn the alarm off...

It's been my experience that those who boast the loudest about how good they are with firearms and speak/write in a condescending manner to the audience as though they are the only one in the gunshop/on a forum with knowledge/experience are compensating for something.

That's what 30+ years experience and being shot at before will do for you everytime. You can take it over ace. We're all ears and I'm listening.

To the OP, again as many have said you NEVER threaten to shoot anyone....

SandboxQ

I have 40+ years........Not really, but it sounds good....huh..... (I'm only 41, and 21+ in the Army)

Look, o.k., you can out do everyone on this board....you have already told us that....most won't believe you....I don't....and the more you talk like this....makes me think you are not even 15 years old....

You can find absolutely everything you have talked about by a quick Google search......

I would honestly be afraid to be around you at a shooting range....sorry...but that's the truth...
