Wonder if it wasn't a hit? Hey you, Drunky, go kill my wife...? MADem Jan 2016 #3

Shooting center mass is not manly, but it is the quickest way to stop the threat. Waldorf Jan 2016 #17
Center mass is what racist right wing gun trainers teach. It's BS. Hoyt Jan 2016 #57

No. If I wanted to be a Police offider than I would have been one. I chose a different career. Waldorf Jan 2016 #67
