Thread: Always Identify your target beyond all doubt

Sad news today, but definately did not identify his target.

Oscar Pistorius shoots girlfriend - reports | News24

wow

Perhaps he DID identify his target...police are apparently looking into a murder investigation.

Always point firearms in a safe direction Loaded or unloaded, always point the ... Identify your target beyond all doubt Make sure of your target before firing.

I guess most of us here don't understand the issues in SA that cause people to have firearms beside their beds.

We had a police minister that used to have one under his bed, Shotgun Trevor.

he'll argue a defence that he was so pissed he was legless . . . .

Looks like he did identify it.....

Thats the one rule I always tend to forget, targets are always black round things, that are fully visible, in good light and stay still, I dont need to ID them.....I should start shooting critters I guess....here bunny...bunny.....



What I wondered on was the 4 shots....1, or 2 yes...though Ive been told that if you are not "experienced" once you start pulling that trigger you cannot stop.

Shoot until the desired effect is achieved on the target, don't fire 1 shot and stop to see what happens in a situation where you're having to shoot someone.


This sounds more like a murder though from all reports

If he does go down for it , will they give him an home D with a ankle bracelet ?

And the Oscar goes to... Pollsmoor!!!


(Pollsmoor is a notorious prison in Cape Town)

@Rushy, yes. New neighbour is from SA, they left after her father was shot dead with multiple AK47s/gun wounds in a home invasion (sounds more like a war grade assault), the rest of them just happened to be out at the time so survived.
