DHS training targets

[totes6]

You know what we should use as targets?

Playing cards.

Aim small, miss small.

that's a good idea i'm using that one!

You can even play poker or other card games if you get them all lined up and have a competition with your buddies.

It must be true. VCDL just linked to it in their latest newsletter

Last I checked this "news organization" is as legit as as any other.

What I find interesting is hat in every story there is only one "race" being shown as a threat. Isn't that racist? If the show was on any other foot would some activist group be screaming?

Wasn't DHS created to protect citizens? From foreign terrorists?

What if the terrorists aren't foreign any longer. What if revolutionaries are seen as terrorists by the gov't and a majority.

The real question then becomes; How do you convince the DHS agents to act against their neighbors who have taken up arms.

Maybe you desensitize them first by training with targets that look like everyday Americans.

Just a thought

Yes. Just like Ruby Ridge. Minus the lengthy investigation, due process, and a 10 day standoff.

My bigger concern is not the desensitizing effect of the targets, but rather the increased expectation of the need for lethal force leading to more "Thought I saw a weapon so I fired" situations...like the Ohio and LA incidents of late.

'Tis true Dry, 'tis true. I'll take a bullet for a brother/sister in arms or average citizen before I would any politicians. They got themselves involved in that mess lol.

Called it:

We apologize for the offensive nature of our "No More Hesitation" products. These products have been taken offline due to the opinions expressed by so many, including members of the law enforcement community.

I find their choice of words interesting, though. "Taken offline". I kind of wonder if you'd be able to get them if you called them directly or ordered through their catalog.

Well.....that they thought they were a good idea from the start is a bad thing.

"Requested to make them by the law enforcement community" ???

There are plenty of good LEA/LEO around the country. There are also plenty of really bad one's too. Just look at the Sheriff's telling politicians off about the gun bans. I know the counties around me, some are decent and some are awful when it comes to the 2nd.
