I don't normally watch TNN on the weekends, but I just stumbled across American Shooter this morning (10 EST)

Great episode so far... Mostly dealing with women getting their CCW, and special holster options for women, etc.

I would almost bet that some of the Ms magazine women could be converted watching this. some of them.. :)

BTW, Oleg is doing an amazing job maintaining his patience level and rationale over there. Everyone should get him some boxes of ammo :)
 
Did anyone else notice the bad gun handling by those two "executive" women when they were trying to decide what purse/holster to use?

Guns pointed at themselves, guns pointed at the other woman, and guns pointed at the camera crew. Scary. Presumably this was after the class the show was profiling.

Help! Help! I'm being repressed!

Deanf, while I agree with you about "profiling", there are circumstances where it can be done safely. Obviously it depends on the reason for the actions, and the caveat is that one specific person is making sure there is no ammo around after the gun has been verified to be unloaded.

Face it, if you're trying a "draw" and dealing with camera angles, not profiling can be extremely difficult.

Still makes a fella a bit queasy, regardless.

Not sure if you saw the show Art, but this was not practice drawing against a foe, or aginst the camera to get a good angle, or anything like that. This was just general gun handling. I'll just pull this pistol out of this purse and hold it my palm while I address the camera. What she may not have realized was that the muzzle was pointed at her own gut.

Love the show, but if you watch the end every week he says "Shoot safely and keep em in the 10 ring" While it appears he is shooting at the camera. I love the show though. Maybe we should email them and make them more aware.
 
The gun handling in the show really disturbed me. But then I am totally compulsive to the point of being anal. What really upset me is when the instructor demonstrated a situation with a student by putting an auto in her back and pulling the trigger.

The gun handling put a bit of a crimp in my total enthusiasm at seeing so many women participate.
