Subject: SNET: FRAZIER THE FELON!!!!!
-> SearchNet's SNETNEWS Mailing List
I can tell you this much: I learned to fire
a 9mm semi-automatic, from a teacher who had
variously been a judge, cop, and prosecutor.
The things I heard him say to me, I had never
ever heard anywhere else -- not on television,
not on the radio, not in newspapers, and not
in movies. He was particularly emphatic when
discussing the proper way to fire a shotgun,
loaded with a single, large, ball bearing shot.
The task is to keep from injuring yourself,
as the assailant recoils with a 12" hole on
the exit side. This man spoke from experience,
which is always the best teacher. He now
teaches active duty police officers these
same techniques.
