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

I had a CHL instructor who also directed us to trash the targets because it somehow avoided problems in court later. I had my doubts then and do still, maybe it's just some kind of CHL instructor lore that gets passed around.

And I still think the "expert marksman" dude is a troll.

Please, keep in mind that I was asking for the individual who posted that to provide some sort of proof to back up what he claimed. Looking at the guy's profile, it didn't seem like he was a troll, just someone who was very, very misinformed, and didn't want to admit he might be wrong, or at least overdoing it.
Understand, but I still think this was a troll :biggrinjester: . The business about "top gun" in "academy" along with the bogus argument just sets off alarm bells. I predict he will either disappear/ignore you, or come back with a blustery response, pounding the table, because fails to provide any references.

One thing they don't understand is that if you are considered an expert shooter, they will hang you in court if you kill in self defense for not just shooting in the leg or hand to stop the threat. Law enforcement is taught "center mass" and it is pass/fail. I was top gun in my academy for most points, not expert shooting.

Utter rubbish. I smell troll, and it stinks.
