World class competitive shooters score no more accurately in high stress situations with moving targets than your average person.


i highly doubt that

Score on the shooting range doesn't mean anything when you are facing some one trying to kill you it is a fact, the guy who keeps calm under pressure will do better regardless.

Somewhat correct, but mostly wrong.
Shooting, like most activities that require practice and training, is 90% muscle memory.
Cops get a shot of adrenaline in high stress scenarios too even with training.
You can be as calm as you want, if you cant hit the target it doesnt matter. If you freak out, draw and fire instinctually your chances are pretty good.

Again, you generalize everything to suit your argument and claim its a fact. If range time doesnt matter than why do cops spend time at a shooting range every month practicing shooting in low stress environments?

Hello? A lot of these guys are doped up and not thinking rational IS ALSO REASON TO FEAR FOR YOUR FUCKING LIFE IF THEY'RE ROBBING YOU!


Thats what i was saying, even if you have a gun - its better to give them some money and they'll go away

then try and play chicken with them , unless your a Vietnam Vet with Terminal Brain Cancer and you dont give a she-it.

Like Clint Eastwood in El Torino.

..they were hit by tiny pieces of frangible ammo not poor shots by the cops and it was the training of the police that meant no civilians died .

i dont give a fuck what you say as it pertains to firearms or those who use them anymore.. you've proven your ignorance time and time again. Quite frankly, its getting obnoxious.

Vouch this, you've yet to say one intelligent thing about guns.

Maybe you'd know more if your country didn't forcibly take them away.
