A defense
A bit back, everyone noted the video of the photographer down range during a shoot and how dumb that seemed. Well, someone offers a defense of that:
Tactical response runs a 360* hot range. Period. Follow the four rules and you’re good. None of those rules were violated in the video. I challenge anyone to point one out that was.
Ya know, even at a 360 range, I still prefer standing in the opposite direction of where bullets are going.

Translation: They’re too HOO-AH! for your silly civilian safety rules.
Hey, Food Court Team Six needs to train someplace.

“Ya know, even at a 360 range, I still prefer standing in the opposite direction of where bullets are going.”
Truth that…

Rule 2 – never point your muzzle at anything you are not willing to see destroyed.
Pretending everyone is Six Sigma Delta, 4 Weapons Masters who can in no way, by any amount of bending of the space time continuum, actually miss is retarded. Period.
“No one has been shot in X years” is a lame excuse. I’ve not broken my leg in the several decades of my life, that doesn’t mean I don’t have to worry about leaping off 2 story buildings.

I didn’t know that this had happened at Tactical Response. Guess I’ll have to spent my pennies elsewhere.

I love how the guy is pointing the pistol up, who the fuck teaches that? If he trips and falls, common while outside and moving while focusing on a target, he might flag someone or himself easier than if he always pointed to the ground. It actually takes much less effort to do this as well. Plus isn’t it more reasonable to negligently shoot yourself in the foot than in the face?

notice he never talks about who would face the negligent homicide charges if someone got shot…

Yeager seems like his usual, unapologetic self. He makes some terrible analogies here. Apparently, we will all be better shooters if someone is standing down range.
