Well, I guess you have just proved that you are SO much better than me
By your statements, you are a self-righteous prig that would be willing to shoot anyone (if they didn't run), then think about consequenses later. It must be awesome to live completely without fear of the abomination that is our legal system.
If you fell for anything, it was for the fact that you assume that people speak out of theory and not experience. Hand gun, or long gun, they are both deadly force. and you must have a sense of the gravity of their use before you take that responsibility. I'm going to leave this conversation before I say something that needs moderated.
Adam, I will let you know what this instructor says. Hopefully it mirrors what the instructor above has said (thefuzz).
