For 1 thing even if I miss 90% of my shots I will still get 1 or 2 of my 11 rounds of .40acp into the target! Still better odds than standing there unarmed waiting for officer negitive to save me. (No disrespect to al lthe good LEO's)

and where do your 8 other shots go? Into me or my family? How about you practice more and get better.

The overwhelming majority of renewals that come thru our doors have not shot since their last qualification.

I took the class at Jefferson County Sheriff's Office in Beaumont, and the instructor stated that he wasn't sure that arming citizens was the best idea...everyone knows that police officers practice more than citizens, and they miss 86% of their shots, so how can we mere civilians expect to do any good?

A veteran from the nearby Jersey Village Police Department, Sgt. H. B. Norris, arrived to take our fingerprints. He looked at us sadly. The “hit rate� for police in gunfights is 14 percent — meaning that 86 percent of the time officers miss their targets — he said. “I really worry about you people because I’ve been doing this all my life,� Sergeant Norris said.
