The guy said it is a 45 straight jacket. Coyotl Jan 2013 #132
Because bullets ALWAYS go perfectly straight, right? marble falls Jan 2013 #145
Yes, at that range exiting the barrel, they're trajecting very straight as they enter the "target" Coyotl Jan 2013 #147

You are giving this guy a lot of credit. I wonder how much direction one needs to shoot oneself..... marble falls Jan 2013 #153
Not only is he a idiot newfie11 Jan 2013 #2
lol dumbass. but most defensive shooting is close up i shoot every week at ranges of three to five loli phabay Jan 2013 #3
That's the part they don't show in movies tavalon Jan 2013 #4
yup but practice makes perfect. ive spent years working on my muscle memory loli phabay Jan 2013 #8
You are somebody who is safe to carry a gun tavalon Jan 2013 #24
Are you a cop or just a really conscientious gun owner? tavalon Jan 2013 #38
You are very strongly making the point that a lot of training SheilaT Jan 2013 #64
yup it takes training and practice. but even if you have only fired a gun once it dosent negate the loli phabay Jan 2013 #65
You have to balance that with the far more likely chance of harming yourself Lordquinton Jan 2013 #107
no if you keep it in the holster then its perfectly safe. if you need to use it then loli phabay Jan 2013 #110
So you never take your weapon out of it's holster, ever? Lordquinton Jan 2013 #113
children can reach for it when its holstered and its perfectly safe i just dont allow it loli phabay Jan 2013 #116

When I carried, Lionessa Jan 2013 #73
i carry all the time and always have a round chambered as its awkward to draw and then rack a round. loli phabay Jan 2013 #74
I understand, it definitely meant more practice and more general awareness so that Lionessa Jan 2013 #94
You don't consider that a bit too dangerous? Sounds way dangerous. Ed Suspicious Jan 2013 #104

A good cameraman is hard to come by TrogL Jan 2013 #67
A tripod shot. He hobbled to his camera to get his face in the scene. Was he really shot? Faked? Coyotl Jan 2013 #79
It seems pretty real to me Oilwellian Jan 2013 #84
If it is faked, the flash is because he used a blank for the shot. Check the kickback!! Coyotl Jan 2013 #119
Even a blank at that range can hurt or kill tavalon Jan 2013 #105
Not at that angle and not if you prepare for it with good clothing. Coyotl Jan 2013 #120
