You know, the same thing happened the last time I was at the range. Something must be done.:what:

Do you think these incidents would keep happening if the targets were armed and could shoot back?

We condemn targets to permanent victimhood with foolish rules like only being allowed to point firearms downrange. What good does that rule do for the target? I guess the 5-yard target (if he were armed) could shoot towards the 10-yard target. Can't you see the inherent unfairness in such a rule?

Oh yea!! was the Target acting in a threatening manner? was the target advancing and closing the distance between you and itself? could you have retreated to a safer location while on the phone with the range master? the postulate could win hands down on this one!!:lol:

Mr. Woodrich obviously needs some serious help. He must be stopped before another target (paper that is) becomes a victim. I wonder just how many targets (paper that is) have died this way. We must have more gun laws to prevent further target (paper that is) deaths. It's truly a shame that it has come to this in this country.

Funny!

I've been reading about these clip fed handguns for years, even heard 'em discussed in gun shops. Anyone know where I can get one in .45 auto?
