The rules are clear, and permit holders receive extensive training on the fine line between self-defense and an unjustified shooting. The legal aspects involved are covered in depth, and when the training is complete, permit holders know that an unjustified shooting will cost them their license, and probably several years of their life.<br /><br />This, of course, makes them the among the safest and most responsible gun owners in America.<br /><br />However, I certainly hope that anyone who plans to attend a Tea Party event and incite violence isn't stupid enough to cross that fine line. The training teaches permit holders that once the decision to fire is made, they should hit their target "center-of-mass" and keep shooting until the threat is neutralized. <br /><br />Generally, not too many people will survive that...<br /><br />Let's hope calm and reason will prevail, and the rights of the Tea Party members to assemble and speak their minds will be protected.Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10903448394061019454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-23908024558097396232010-04-02T18:24:10.187-07:002010-04-02T18:24:10.187-07:00Mr. Caruba, I', afraid of a few different thin...Mr. Caruba, I', afraid of a few different things. I agree with Ronbo, in that I see a potential for violence. Mostly started, and provoked by leftists, but which can boil over when enough angry people are in an area together. The other thing that is giving me fits, and I could be wrong(I sure hope I am!) that they will pass amnesty bill soon, believing that they will get all the new "citizen" votes for their re election in Novemeber. I really, Really don't believe they are going to give up their seats come election time,and even if acorn is supposedly disbanding, there are plenty of union thugs, black panthers and others who will vote for mickey mouse and dead people, contesting every contest. Mix that with any new immigrants, could it be the commies will get to stay in Washington? Please tell me I'm letting my imagination run away!
