2. Oh, right, this old gem

Mon Oct 15, 2012, 01:04 PM

Oct 2012

The one where students are given brief marksmanship training under normal conditions (exposed holster, clear sight, appropriate clothing, standing draw) by instructors who have a vested interest in the student's non-competence, then tested in tactics under completely unfamiliar (and bizarre) conditions (concealed holsters, face masks, looong shirts, draw from seated position) by having a professional aggressor-trainer, aware of the armed defender's identity, burst into the room in one of the least likely encounters possible.

I was unable to drive a half-full tanker truck through a swamp in a rainstorm at midnight after being trained for 20 minutes to wash a Civic in a dry parking lot at noon. Truck drivers are living in a fantasy world.
