Posts: 329 Fifteen shots? (and in 25 seconds?)
What kind of requirement was that if the trainee is carrying a revolver or a single-stack (e.g., 45 ACP) magazine
That im not sure of. Just added more nerousness to me when he said it too.
My 45 only holds 8 +1. I have to imagine revolvers have to shoot 6 in ?? seconds. I did find out in class(very educational) that i was holding the pistol wrong. He also said once you get into that mode of holding that bad habits are hard to break,That is why it is easier to teach someone who has never shot to hold right because they have not built any bad habits yet. To all those that have CCW's.Maybe im just nieve(sp),but were you in shock also as to how bad it has to be before you can actually draw? One senerio he went through ,,, Was a store cleck behind counter,You walk in store,see clerk behind counter,man on outside of counter holding gun to her head.Do you have the right to pull your gun?. Answer is No you do not.Reason is could be BG behind counter and person holding gun could be undercover or other law.I answered that one wrong and said yes you could
After class was over i went and talked to him about that senerio. I stated that in that situation it seemed that your only 2 options were 1-pull gun and possably go to jail 2- sit there until BG blows her head off and then you can live with the fact,That you could have prevented it ,but by law could not. Where i ask is the logic in that. He did mention certain States have castle laws now,other than that before you shoot,if there is a way out of your house,backdoor or something,it is your resposability to back out before shooting. This is just all so stupid to me. I find that after this class now i am more confused and bewildered about some of these laws then i was before i went there. The class was taught by a 20 yr vetran of law and many years in military.
