plagerism is not the way to play on GunsLot!

Greasy, i appreciate that you and other guys here have much class and respect, but i explicitly said i did not come up with that. i thought it was helpful, i printed it, and later posted it as an example -but never did I claim it as my own. i forgot where i found it but sytasyn_syn went ahead an posted the link.
SO...will you guys get back on topic and help me with some good tactics and training tips, or is this going to be another wasted thread that turns in to lowbrow banter?
Seriously, i want to know stuff so cut me some slack, otherwise i will be forced to responded with plagerized fat jokes, yo mama's, or the classic "suck my nuts!" that greasy put so well in the President-elect Obama N.S.F thread.
thanks,
bitedog

Sorry, we started off on the wrong foot. Want are you wanting to know, and I will see if I can help you?
bitedog
no worries, im the one who should say sorry. if you havent knoticed i dont always make a clear sentence or a good impression! plus i was a jack ass in my introduction!

I thing most places teach and I hate it is, will you change a mag they want you to put the empty mag in your mag holder instead of dropping it to the ground. They say, the bad guy could use the ammo from your mag to kill you with it. Well, when I drop the mag it will be empty or have one round in it. Plus, what is the chance that the bad guy is going to be shooting the same caliber gun. I firgue that it is easier to buy a new mag if I lose it that losing my our life.
bitedog
is there any kind of guidelines on amounts of ammo you should have/carry?
what about reloading a magazine under fire?
fordvg
No, there is no guidelines on how much ammo to carry. Me, I would have at lease 3 magazines. The old saying "better to have and not need, than to need and not have". Try not to ever reload under fire, if you have to reload find cover and then reloaded.
bitedog
were you ever in the service?
fordvg
bitedog, you still here?
bitedog
yes...oh, uh... i mean. sir, yes sir!?
fordvg
Yes, US Marine Corps back in 1985 to 1986 got out because of a injury. I shot USPSA matches for 8 years and was a NRA personal defence teacher for a year. Been to a couple of school to learn more and would like to go and take my wife and have her learned some with her too.

Thats an impressive resume fordvg. i have thought i would enjoy joining something like the USPSA. at one time i considered myself a good pistol marksman, however last week at the range was dissapointing. i havent been in a while, or shot targets, and have just been shooting bottles. anyways, i just got a new .40 cal Walther P99 and if my shaky hand is gone i may see whats going on around here with the USPSA.
fordvg
I also was a Range Officer for USPSA for 6 years and I shoot in 3 gun matches and run & gun matches where we use IPSC rules, but you are shooting AR-15 in stages of fire like you would when you are shooting USPSA or IPSC. Plus, I shot in sniper matches and got to shoot in a couple long ranges matches.

I can think of no better mentor for guns, gun handling and tactics than Marine Col. John Dean, "Jeff" Cooper, whose writings and opinions constitute a veritable bible for gun owners/patriots.
I would recommend you search his name in Google, and be prepared to study some of the BEST wisdom available. There is none better.
I suggest that you start with his "Color Code of Mental Awareness" so that you are way ahead of most people who carry for self defense.
Jeff Cooper founded the now famous "Gunsite" school [Arizona], and was the mentor of Dr. I. Piazza, founder of the now, equally famous "Front Sight" school
[Nevada].
For all of us who jealously guard our Second Amendment rights and our inherent right of self defense, there can be NO BETTER role model.
When you have exhausted Cooper's contributions, I recommend you study the writings of Massad Ayoob, to get the details of your potential liability, prior to "the gunfight".
Last BUT NOT LEAST--Learn the Tueller Drill !!!!!

1) Gunfighting is a very risky business. You risk everything, and you DO NOT win ANYTHING.......You just get to KEEP what you already had.
2) If it is not worth killing or dying for--it is not worth fighting for.
3) If you have to THINK ABOUT whether or not you are justified in shooting,
you probably should NOT shoot.
Have YOU decided upon your OWN moral/ethical basis
for the use of DEADLY FORCE?
You probably will need to be able to explain that
VERY CLEARLY--
After the gunfight.
