Oh, I absolutely agree, but after going through my CCW course and using their
crude FATS (slides on a screen that we shot at) and seeing how many people
shot the cop in the dark room and how sweaty my =own= palms got, I can see
its worth. BTW, my scenario had a guy holding my "daughter" at knife point
in my driveway and I had to decide what action to take. I ended up shooting
the guy's arm holding the knife (NOT what I was aiming for, but everybody in
the class tended to shoot towards the weapon) and shot my "daughter" in the
ass. I =know= that this last was a purely sub-concious response to the
female in the picture being my "daughter". My older step-daughter was a
major pain in her teen years and I know I was responding to that. :-)
Anyway, I did better the second time around with a different scenario.
