I understand and appreciate your line of thinking. The instructor is a retired cop and that just what he recommended. I'm not sure what the differences between that target and any other target I've shot. I don't save my targets,I look at them for successes and failuresK.Mooneyham wrote:Not one bit of personal offense intended toward you, but I would love to ask that instructor, where is the proof of this happening? What case law backs this up? I'm certain the mass media machine would have ran with it if this sort of thing had been used against someone. I've certainly never heard anything like this before, so again, color me skeptical.FCH wrote:My CHL instructor said the same thing. He implied, right or wrong, the target could be collected and waved in front of a jury with all kinds of implications. In the civil trial world, the lawyer could imply just about anything from us being good enough that we did not have to shoot the way we did to us being poor enough a shot that we shouldn't be given any leeway.Richbirdhunter wrote:When I qualified for my CHL the instructor told us not to save our targets or to take pictures of them.

When I qualified for my CHL the instructor told us not to save our targets or to take pictures of them. He said that it could be used against us in court if we were involved in a shooting
