Yes, I live in the Countryside.
They dont even need a licence

He said he shoots with the middle finger, and puts his first finger along the barrel, supposedly when you point at somthing with your first finger, its natually pointing exactly where you you want it to.
A guy I know has apparently been taking combat shooting classes where you learn to draw fast and defend against being disarmed and stuff. I'd love to take a class like that. I think the hardest part of using a gun for defense must be drawing the weapon and getting it pointed in the right direction with my finger on the trigger before the other guy gets me.
of course he had a cutom built hand gun just for that purpose

So how many people have you guys shot? Or do you prefer to murder animals?
Let me also suggest that "22-year-old" should be hyphenated and "your" should be "you're".

No more shame. Another decent thread pissed on by some wet behind the ears clown.

This guy has like hundreds of metals and was required by the SS to shoot hundreds of rounds a week, and was once a world champion I think... Just because you cant do it, dosnt mean nobody can

He might have used a Colt .45 auto but still that is streching it. Maybe you meant 100 ft about (30 yards) instead of 100 yards. Thats the length of a football field. As for my shooting abilities? I can hit a 4 inch target on the average 12 out of 16 rounds rapid fire at 30 yards. While not the best it still is some decent shooting. If he is as good as you claim he is then hitting Oswald from the back of a moving car should not have been a problem for him.🙄🙄🙄

Originally posted by slimjimActually I got it wrong, It was President Johnson, not Kennedy, And I told you it was a custom built handgun, buil specifly for his hand. He said it was a hundred yards, not feet, For me I can barely hit somthing 30 yards with a handgun. but I have a neihbor who can hit targets all day long at 100 yards, I'll see if I can find out what the name of the guy the next time I talk to dad. I think he was an amazing guy, but still its possable, In my town they have handgun shows all the time, and I seen a guy shoot a cigar out of someones mouth 50 feet away fascing the oppasite direction using a mirror
