Better hide in the bedroom then, you ain't going to identify much before it
shoots you most times ?

I agree, this kind of training must help.

My final comments. People in NZ die from home invasions even though both
parties usually don't carry a gun. Makes guns obviously a symtom of deeper
problems.
But, people don't get acciddently shot, this is the difference.
Police don't carry guns, they don't get to make mistakes of identification,
if they do, nobody dies.
Now, off to that Karate lesson.........
Thanks Ray for allowing the digressions, I value all the comments and in
fact, discussing it is part of the solution as it is enlightening for all me
thinks !
