Heard him also, wanted to call in and ask for a demonstration. He said he was a life long shooter. Rubber bullets yet they hurt will not incapacitate a armed criminal to the point that they can not return fire. The criminal no matter how experienced only has to get lucky with one shot and your dead. Knowing Police have to fire two rubber bullets first even if hit it is not going to stop return fire with leathal ammunition. Glad I'm not a cop in these times with their hands tied behind their backs, one job I do not want to do. In todays environment they can't even protect theirselves.

or, "all things....."

I realize that he is very successful, but I sure don't understand why. Probably the most disorganized presentation/show on the air. He seems to have as much trouble reading as he does staying on topic.

Perhaps if we limited police and military to a maximum of seven rounds, they'd make darn sure they need to fire them.
With all the big talk about "muh 1911" from the non-shooting, non-carrying (except in a Fobus) advocates of the platform, you might be on to something.
(Plain Jane, standard old 1911 mag held 7 rounds.)

Or we could train the police to just Lone Ranger the guy shootin the guns out their hands?

That's usually my response when someone proposes a leg shot to me. I say I'd be ok with shooting in the leg ONLY after the gun or weapon is shot out of their hands. Sadly, I've gotten some agreement on the idea.

I dont know about factory loaded rubber bullets but do know my home made ones will not cycle a semi auto gun and if you dont pay attention it will lock up a revolver but then to i havent enlarged the flash hole either like your suppose to.

There was a proposed law in NYC several years ago that would have required police to try and stop attackers first by shooting at a limb. The head cop said basically, I don't think you understand how hard it is to hit ANYTHING under those circumstances, and you want us to aim for an arm???

NYPD Glock trigger pull is 11 lbs. A few years back two officers fired on a suspect in the middle of the afternoon at fairly close range. The only thing they hit was the building behind him.
