His point is, "What the fuck do you know about it?"

You did not ask this question of me, but I will answer it and then ask you the same fucking thing....

I have been in exactly zero. Pointed guns at people a couple of times of the last 25 years, that seemed to get the message across real good, and the situation ended there. Oh, and they both were criminals trying to fuck with me so forget the meanacing arugments.

How many gunfights you been in you jacked up idiot ??

And since you and the Kool Aid G man have a hard time understanding the common man's reasoning, you might want to think that even a common man, may have military experience, law enforcement training, firearms training, siutuational awarness training, and pursuit driving , with out being a career law enforcement person.

Fuck off now.

what is or isn't acceptable accuracy under fire.
I guess my frame of reference is limited to the 2 situations I was involved in where I was forced to point a gun at some individuals to correct a bad situation.

I was trained in law enforcement firearms handling and situations at a young age, in my early 20's. Training at a young age stays with you. One individual decided he wanted to "fuck up" my family at my back door one night, because I had fired him from a job that day for assualting a fellow employee.

Those words were all it took for me to pull my .357 from my back belt, move to cover behind a thick door, pointed that nickel plated beast at him and order him the fuck out of there. He wisely complied and left. I have no doubt I could have hit him, since it was well under that "7" meter range.

The other situation was when I stopped to take a piss at a isolated wide spot on I 5 at 2 am one time. A van with 2 lowlifes pulled up, and one got out and started over at me, and I pulled same nickle plated .357 ( 1st 3 rounds Hydro Shock) and pointed it at the lowlife and told him to leave me the fuck alone and get in his van and leave, which he wisely did.

Now my adrehline ( sp ??) did get going, but my former training just kicked in. I also had to stand cover during a ride along with a small town police officer when he pulled over a car with 5 scumbags, 3 with felony warrants. I just stood there holding that AR -15 in plain view, and the scumbags behaved quite well.

Again, all controlled situations, but never allowed it to escalate.

Exactly, Bro. Controlled. Control goes out the window once the bullets start flying. ESPECIALLY if there was no control of the situation to begin with. Which is exactly what causes the 20% figure. You really never know as a cop when the time will come, but when it does you simply react.

Again, aiming is a freaking luxury. The split second you take to aim with could be your last split second...

The more I hear of this deal with Foley, btw, the dirtier it looks. Just too plain, neat, simple, and full of shit. And now dude misses a season and 3/4ths of a mil by getting shot IN FRONT OF HIS HOUSE? That cop is toast.

You simply CANNOT effect a traffic stop in your own vehicle, out of uniform. Complete absurdity. ESPECIALLY not for a freaking misdemeanor.

Read that to yourself a few times, and see if you can understand how fucking stupid it sounds.

If this is indeed the attitude with cops, then the 10%(or whatever) figure makes a lot more sense, and explains why homeowners hit targets at a MUCH higher clip than these "trained professionals."

I've never been in a gunfight, but I've been in situations where they were pulled out and waving around(probably not a good commentary on some of my youthful decision making, but it is what it is). And I'll tell you one thing with 100% certainty -- if the time had come to pull the trigger, I guaranfuckingTEE you I would have hit paydirt...then again in fairness/disclosure, for one of those, I was holding a 12 gauge one of those times, which tends to increase the hit% by quite a bit. But not at any of those times did I so much as flinch.

THEN AGAIN, if those people didn't have deep-seeded fears and obvious mental inadequacies, they never would have become cops in the first place. Apologies to Rozy and Luth, but that is straight-up FACT, whether you care to acknowledge it or not.

That "news report" reads like a police department press release. The nut of this is still that Foley was shot 3 times, from behind, by an off duty officer 23 miles outside of his jurisdiction. That shit can't be explained away by his bac or "roid rage".

Wow! Who would've thought that Dinsdale would've been a tactical law enforcement firearms expert? :meds:

I like how a few yahoos with ZERO experience in law enforcement (or the military) claim to be experts on the matter while those of us with experience in the matter don't seem to know what the fuck we're talking about.

I took this snippet from articles on policeone.com, handgunmag.com:
So when we discuss the relative merits of, say, sighted aiming vs. threat-focused aiming, we have to make sure we are specifying two parameters without which the discussion is meaningless (as so many of these discussions actually are): we have to specify the level of training we are assuming in the operator, and we have to specify the level of stress they will be under. The level of stress is usually proportional to the control the operator has over the situation and the level of surprise he/she is under. A well-trained SWAT officer making a entry or felony stop is both in control of the situation and is not surprised by it (in fact, they are initiating it.) Thus it will not be a surprise if such an officer remembers, for example, clearly seeing their sights if shooting erupts in such a situation. A rookie, on the other hand, placed in the same situation, could well be expected to threat-focus. Likewise, on that same SWAT entry, if things suddenly go in a direction that no-one anticipated-say a bad guy suddenly pops out of a surprise location-then, losing control and surprised, the same SWAT officer could be expected to threat-focus...

Finally, we need to avoid the conceit that because we have trained a number of people to perform a skill under stress, that that skill is "validated" as combat-worthy. The fact is that such skills are validated as useful only so long as the stress level in training is not exceeded. In an actual encounter, stress levels can go much higher than in training for several reasons, and once they do, our people will enter SNS (Sympathetic Nervous System) override where only a few hard-wired techniques will work. The reasons that stress in an actual fight can far exceed stress in the training environment include:

1. It is for real. No one really thinks they will die in training.
2. It is not under our control to a small or great degree
3. We may be out-gunned, out-classed, or out-numbered
4. It takes us by surprise
I know that there are different scientific studies explaining how it is impossible to see the sights on a pistol during an armed confrontation. Recently, AO Sight System released a document entitled "Factors Influencing Visibility of Firearm Sights During BAR" (BAR meaning body alarm reaction) in which author Dr. Edward C. Godnig claims that it is possible "to maintain visual awareness of the 'sight picture'." I, too, have found this to be the case, but it is dependent on several factors. The first is whether or not the subject in question was caught unaware and the startle response kicked in. When startled, people will respond out of fear and panic, which usually does not result in the desired outcome.

The biggest factor during a startle response is luck. While luck will always be a factor in every confrontation, I am not convinced that we should make it a factor in our training. When statements are made such as, "I'm not going to be able to use the sights anyway, why spend training time using them?" It is almost as if we are expecting to be caught unaware and allowing luck to be the deciding factor. Clint Smith has said, "When you get up close you don't have to be good, you just have to be lucky," which is certainly true. Maybe the answer to this problem is not to be worried about whether or not to use sights, but to concentrate on being "switched on" to what is going on around you.

Without fail, the people who remember seeing or using their front sight are the ones who were prepared to engage in combat. Good examples of this are soldiers on the field of battle or SWAT cops who know going in that they are quite likely to shoot. These folks kept sights in their "cone of vision" and relied on them when a hostile target was encountered. I have also experienced this phenomenon while working narcotics for a number of years. Prior to raids and vehicle takedowns, I would visualize in my head what I planned on doing, including where my firearm would be. This position would always be some type of high ready position where the gun and its sights were within my "cone." I found that during the operation itself, that when I encountered potential hostiles, I could shift between the actions of the suspect and the location of my front sight with little problem. The big difference here is that I was "prepared" to engage in a somewhat controlled situation and not caught in startlement. Awareness is as important to gun fighting as is trigger control.
A good read on the subject is Dr. William Lewinski's "Stress Reactions Related to Lethal Force Encounters." He's just a PhD with close to three decades of leading research on stress and reactions in deadly force encounters. He's obviously no Dinsdale, Cuda or Derron when it comes to expertise in this arena so I would take everything he has published with a grain of salt since he dismisses all of your brilliant assertions. It's a short PDF available on the web, I believe.

I know that you ignorant twats will continue to tell us all about how you would shoot Mr. Badguy right between the eyes in the heat of a gunfight so feel free to carry on. I wouldn't want to derail your one-way trip to Moronville.

Because YOU don't. You refuse to acknowledge that anybody without a badge could have any experience in this. I was trained in law enforcement at a young age. Never put a badge on, but went through enough training too. Went into the fire service instead, where the bad guys were glad to see us, because that meant the cops had to stop beating the shit out of them, so we could treat them. Been there and saw it more than a few times. Besides, I liked to hit a bowl or two now and then, and that did not go well for a law enforcement career back in the day.

And I can still shoot expert...so fuck you.

Now for the rest of your quoted rant....typical G man Federal goverment smother them with bullshit attitude. I am guessing that of the afore mentioned people, none of us (them) give a fuck about Dr Suess's therory, but you fucking G men suck that shit up. Continue posting likethat and you reaffirm your position as another worthless Federal leech, spouting the party line.

So when we discuss the relative merits of, say, sighted aiming vs. threat-focused aiming, we have to make sure we are specifying two parameters without which the discussion is meaningless (as so many of these discussions actually are): we have to specify the level of training we are assuming in the operator, and we have to specify the level of stress they will be under. The level of stress is usually proportional to the control the operator has over the situation and the level of surprise he/she is under. A well-trained SWAT officer making a entry or felony stop is both in control of the situation and is not surprised by it (in fact, they are initiating it.) Thus it will not be a surprise if such an officer remembers, for example, clearly seeing their sights if shooting erupts in such a situation. A rookie, on the other hand, placed in the same situation, could well be expected to threat-focus. Likewise, on that same SWAT entry, if things suddenly go in a direction that no-one anticipated-say a bad guy suddenly pops out of a surprise location-then, losing control and surprised, the same SWAT officer could be expected to threat-focus...

Finally, we need to avoid the conceit that because we have trained a number of people to perform a skill under stress, that that skill is "validated" as combat-worthy. The fact is that such skills are validated as useful only so long as the stress level in training is not exceeded. In an actual encounter, stress levels can go much higher than in training for several reasons, and once they do, our people will enter SNS (Sympathetic Nervous System) override where only a few hard-wired techniques will work. The reasons that stress in an actual fight can far exceed stress in the training environment include:

1. It is for real. No one really thinks they will die in training.
2. It is not under our control to a small or great degree
3. We may be out-gunned, out-classed, or out-numbered
4. It takes us by surprise
I know that there are different scientific studies explaining how it is impossible to see the sights on a pistol during an armed confrontation. Recently, AO Sight System released a document entitled "Factors Influencing Visibility of Firearm Sights During BAR" (BAR meaning body alarm reaction) in which author Dr. Edward C. Godnig claims that it is possible "to maintain visual awareness of the 'sight picture'." I, too, have found this to be the case, but it is dependent on several factors. The first is whether or not the subject in question was caught unaware and the startle response kicked in. When startled, people will respond out of fear and panic, which usually does not result in the desired outcome.

The biggest factor during a startle response is luck. While luck will always be a factor in every confrontation, I am not convinced that we should make it a factor in our training. When statements are made such as, "I'm not going to be able to use the sights anyway, why spend training time using them?" It is almost as if we are expecting to be caught unaware and allowing luck to be the deciding factor. Clint Smith has said, "When you get up close you don't have to be good, you just have to be lucky," which is certainly true. Maybe the answer to this problem is not to be worried about whether or not to use sights, but to concentrate on being "switched on" to what is going on around you.

Without fail, the people who remember seeing or using their front sight are the ones who were prepared to engage in combat. Good examples of this are soldiers on the field of battle or SWAT cops who know going in that they are quite likely to shoot. These folks kept sights in their "cone of vision" and relied on them when a hostile target was encountered. I have also experienced this phenomenon while working narcotics for a number of years. Prior to raids and vehicle takedowns, I would visualize in my head what I planned on doing, including where my firearm would be. This position would always be some type of high ready position where the gun and its sights were within my "cone." I found that during the operation itself, that when I encountered potential hostiles, I could shift between the actions of the suspect and the location of my front sight with little problem. The big difference here is that I was "prepared" to engage in a somewhat controlled situation and not caught in startlement. Awareness is as important to gun fighting as is trigger control.
A good read on the subject is Dr. William Lewinski's "Stress Reactions Related to Lethal Force Encounters." He's just a PhD with close to three decades of leading research on stress and reactions in deadly force encounters. He's obviously no Dinsdale, Cuda or Derron when it comes to expertise in this arena so I would take everything he has published with a grain of salt since he dismisses all of your brilliant assertions. It's a short PDF available on the web, I believe.

I know that you ignorant twats will continue to tell us all about how you would shoot Mr. Badguy right between the eyes in the heat of a gunfight so feel free to carry on. I wouldn't want to derail your one-way trip to Moronville.
No need to expand on that. Absolute RACK!

Cops pat themselves on the back & declare themselves heros no matter how much they fuck up. Who'd ever have thunk it?

Short-Eyes in Seattle, you of all people ought to steer well clear of 4th grader references.
