My girlfriend and I were at the range this weekend. There were 2 couples shooting at the 2 lanes next to us. Both men were showing their wives how to shoot. Both of their spouses clearly had never held a firearm before. They were receiving first timer type advice on how to grip and aim. Both first timers were shooting better than their macho LEO husbands. My girlfriend had 5 targets set up that as oriented would all fit inside both LEOs groupings. She was also firing a larger caliber than both of the LEOs. Im not joking... these guys were shooting about 20 inch groups... trained officers. After a while they were talking about their duty weapons being good because of the high capacity magazines... i was thinking their weapons and their aim would equal about 16 misses.
After we got home i asked my girlfriend, "If someone broke in and was raping and murdering you would you call the police and trust they will neutralize the situation?" she responded,"Heck no! I would respond faster and i wouldnt miss!"
so much for LEOs and military being the only people who should carry. my .02
