Here’s another little known fact. Most people on most ranges do a whole lot of aiming and can’t hit worth a darn.

Way too many cops only fire their weapons for qualification and do not even try to do so on their own to make themselves truly proficient.

Something else noticeable from the diagram. There was a conspicuous lack of penetration from some rounds and a tendency to ricochet from others, given the number of rounds that hit. Also notice the probability of bone damage at the right eye socket with the media gossip in mind.

The only thing generally for sure about the whole spectacle, is that it’s looking messy and bad before court time—especially the likelihood of political consequences of much of the political gossip. Most voters are distrustful of both political parties, seeing bands of regulating groups of government-linked thieves, each socialist group trying to take funding from other groups.

That's true. A long time ago, the federal eggheads recommended at least 50 rounds per month on the FBI-type range. But it appeared that some folks wouldn't fire well enough with a lifetime of training. There was just something about 'em. We saw that with many in the Army, too, both regular and reserve component, And in some units with rather socially oriented commanders, many of the most promoted individuals, although good at politics, were the least coordinated. ;-)
