Has that happened lately?Same question for your question #2? I mean brandishing as in the real definition of brandishing, not some shirt tail flapping ion the breeze and exposing accidentally.Why do we want to discourage people from carrying by threatening punishment if they do it wrong? The more people that carry, the safer we all are. It puts the perps at ill ease, which slows them down. Statistics seem to prove that.Now if you shoot someone because you acted/reacted incorrectly, you pay the piper, sure.MB's article had some good points, but some times we seem to be trying to fix problems that don't really exist.I'm all for proper training. People should have the ability to handle their weapon of choice, but does training at a range actually prepare us to face down a guy with intent to do us bodily harm? You may be able to hit the steel 9 out of 10 times, but could you do the same if the steel was shooting back?</blockquote>
