Go through any of the New York City cop shootings where they shoot a crazy amount of shots and miss almost all of them. Unless its SWAT for a major urban area, the average American match shooter is way way more capable than a "trained professional" cop that only shoots quals twice a year.
And the vast majority of gun owners don't even have that 'minimal' level of training nor experience that a street cop has.

Never said they did, but we're talking about your house being invaded while your family is there and someone saying you arent trained enough to fight back. Out in public, I'd be just as happy to have a serious idpa or 3 gunner be there to respond as I would a street cop or less ideally any old chl holder for that matter if no CAG or SEAL team just happens to be around when the next Nidal Hasan, or George Hennard (I was raised in Killeen/Ft Hood and my parents still live there) goes postal somewhere my parents are. I'll never understand how some people let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Trip, 300.00 and no sponsorship needed if the link is still good.

Yeah I know....saw that. Wouldn't use the link for them (bastards) ..but it DID have the May 2 deadline info, where the original link didn't. I just wanted to put that out in case anyone was sitting on their hands waiting for payday and missed out.
