Mine said the same thing. I think I understand what the guy was trying to say, but he's not able to articulate it very well. Basically, if you save a bunch of targets with key hole grouping, the prosecution can hold them up in court and state something along the line that you practice all the time and couldn't wait to shoot someone. However, I don't think they could make the argument of "you should have shot them in the hand, leg, etc.", but they could try to use it to paint you as someone who couldn't wait for the opportunity to deploy their weapon.

They can do all kinds of crazy things when they want a convection and have neither the law or the facts on their side.

Prosecutor: You just couldn't wait to shoot someone huh?! All this practice. All this preparation, refining your technique for that moment, it finally came and you just couldn't wait any longer, right?

CHL: Yes, you are correct, I couldn't wait for the cops to arrive to protect myself.

Re: Too good at shooting, the court will convict you?

Self defense shooting calls for shooting to stop a threat. Doesn't matter where it is, just don't hit an innocent. What matters more is, how many rounds and how long. Pump two in someone, he goes motionless.. Threat over, Job done. Stop, think, Pump a few more to make sure..that's murder.

As in the case of the pharmacist, he pumped a few into one perp, he fell. Pharmacist went after other perp, then came back and pumped more into guy that was down. Murder.
