Also, the “peanut butter argument” is not mine; that is a quote from the head of The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, an anti-gun organization. The Brady Campaign spokesman on the show used that same argument as a reason that the Federal Government should further restrict firearm rights and ownership in this country and I quoted it above to show just how ridiculous it is. I apologize if that was not clear.

I took that as a message that guns are tricky animals and even cops make mistakes sometimes. I believe your bias led you to take a more cynical view.

But the peanut butter argument really blew it for you. You must know how stupid that logic is…don’t you?

Another situation I would like to have seen covered is the presence of the hostile in the next room or hallway as opposed to walking straight to the CCW presence. I also wonder if the CCW was in the same place each time, or if the hostile knew where they were. You also have to question where this training was taking place (your guard tends to be down if you’re at a police training center). There’s also the question of lack of experience with the particular weapon/holster combination.

I thought the “training” video that Diane participated in was a joke. The hostile was lying in wait, popped open the cover on a pick-up, and shot at point-blank range (it looked like a shotgun too). You could have been Doc Holiday and not drawn fast enough. Correct response is duck and cover FIRST.

Sad question:
How do we counter such propaganda with the typical drone who “saw it on TV so it has to be true”?
