    Accident vs Negligence

    Graham, You are over analyzing what I said. Read my post again, I am not trying to make a case for charging Deputy Fanning. My point is specifically from a weapons handling point of view and how the public and media describe such incidents. A definition for negligence I use in training is...

    Accident vs Negligence

    Graham, It was negligence. Rule #1. Treat every firearm as if it were loaded..... This rule is broad and is the common sense catch all for all weapons handling. In this case, don't set the firearm down where any unauthorized user may get their hands on it.

    Accident vs Negligence

    Reading the news this morning I came across this story.... Boy, 4, accidentally kills Tenn. deputy's wife NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Authorities say a 4-year-old boy grabbed a loaded gun at a family cookout and accidentally shot and killed the wife of a Tennessee sheriff's deputy...

    Is there an ammo ban in the works I am missing...?

    Re: Is there an ammo ban in the works I am missing...? There are dealers holding items as well, they are waiting for prices to go just a little higher. One locale shop has over 100 AR lowers. He is building a rifle every few days and placing it on the shelf with ridiculous prices. Another...

    Isolating the trigger finger.

    Over the years and what seems to be far too frequent, I am encountering shooters who are using what is described as a "Convulsive Grip". I first heard the term "Convulsive Grip" at a point shooting class over a decade ago. The term was first described to me and I will quote it from the class...

    Is Harris really that good?

    Re: Is Harris really that good? I used Harris for over a decade but in the last few years have sold almost all of them off and went with Atlas. Harris Bipods work fine, in many cases they work great. Though I am working and shooting in a variety of conditions and I rarely have level ground...

    Just ordered an ATLAS. Hope it's not just hype!

    Re: Just ordered an ATLAS. Hope it's not just hype! No hype with the ATLAS. They are expensive, built like a tank, highly functional and worth every dime. I own three and have put a short pic rail on almost every rifle I own to include 22s and I bounce the ATLAS around to each one as needed.

    Rifle Scopes GDI CMC-OSM (Optical Sight Mount)

    Re: GDI CMC-OSM (Optical Sight Mount) UKDslayer, I don't know this for a fact but I would be willing to bet the day will come when GDI will offer an EOTech mount. EOTech tends to be a optic that people either love or hate and they made it difficult for companies to make a mount specific...

    Rifle Scopes GDI CMC-OSM (Optical Sight Mount)

    Over the past decade I have wasted my money, time and time again on worthless optics mounts. ARMS, GG&G, BOBRO along with the worthless thumb screw mounts that come on ACOG and EOTech plague the shooting community with mounts that fail to perform. Half the problem is the so called “Mil Spec”...

    6.5 CM For LEO Snipers?

    Re: 6.5 CM For LEO Snipers? Having a 6.5cm for comps and my work gun is a 308. Personally I don't see a need for a change. Personally, I do not see a huge difference between 6.5cm and 308 until the 500 yard mark. Additionally I don't see you gaining much of anything with the 6.5cm for...
