    I dunno, hunters spend a lot of time (accidentally) pointing guns at people

    Yep.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Concerning. One wouldn't want their surgeon to be lacking in training or experience. Drastic comparison, sure - but either could kill you just as fast. Mmm, increase the budget perhaps?

    Yea basically, then that silly bitchc opens her mouth. Basically back to a funding issue. I find the funding thing wearing a bit thin now, in my trade (and all soon) now cost has no place in providing inadequate training or safety but the govt departments get away with using it.

    Yip surely its not that hard

    even if they had a bunch of .22's to use since ammo is so cheap

    but then if they are buying containers of ammo at a time it wouldn't end up that expensive especially once they can claim the tax back off it

    Hmmm I think we all agree that the police don't get enough training- I wonder if we could come to some sort of agreement as to what would be a fair amount?
    One day rifle and two pistol per year?
    Five days total?
    Four hours a month?

    Well I think there are enough things they could practice on, on a daily basis. And when they run out of things on the street they could practice some more at the prisons, then they could use the prisons for more state housing, hang on that's what they are doing now.
    oops did I just post that.

    Didn't want that to come across wrong, what I was meaning to say is, I think there are enough oxygen thieves kicking about that would make for some nice practice
