On the NBC Evening News, 28 July 2007, in a report concerning a home invasion the reporter interviewed a gun store salesman. The salesman, holding a shotgun made the statement "You just point, you don't aim."
In the state of Florida, anyone who uses a firearm against another human is responsible for every projectile that is discharged from the firearm.
"You just point, but don't aim" advice is one of the most truly statements I have ever heard; particularly from a person who makes their living selling firearms.
Statements like that just antagonize those who dislike firearms and make it much harder for the person who makes a conscientious decision to become proficient in and use firearms as a defensive tool.
Persons who are interested in firearms, regardless of how they arrived at that interest should be encouraged to learn how to properly and legally use firearms. In Florida, there is no difference in the accountability of use of a defensive firearm for a police officer or a private citizen.
The police officer is taught self defense, the use of firearms and state law during their police academy. Any private citizen needs to seek out and gain the same knowledge prior to incorporating defensive firearms into their toolbox.
Thanks a pant load for your input Mr Gunstore. Friends like you continue to play right into the anti-gunners sentiments.
