    Colleges aren't the morality police on something that is legal. This is another shot in the culture war and demonizing a legal activity.

    Pointing the gun at the camera (hopefully no one was holding it) is a separate issue that needs to be addressed with training but really is irrelevant to what the college did. They might use it as a convenient excuse but they bounced her because she was a black person posing with a gun and a "mean look".

    At least their trigger finger discipline was spot on.

    Pointing the gun at the camera (hopefully no one was holding it) is a separate issue...
    Y'know, Jeff Cooper himself wrote that he was often forced to point a gun at a person holding a camera in order to do the photography required to illustrate his articles. He said it made him uncomfortable and required a conscious exercise of will to overcome his training but he did it anyway because it was appropriate under the circumstances.

    If it's good enough for Cooper, it's good enough for me.

    Don't get me started on the "Finger off the trigger" rule and all the cases where (I say and every major successful traditional target shooter says) it's not applicable.

    Read the thread before opening the link.

    First thought “That’s it?”

    Second thought “the caption under the picture is fucking retarded. Race is irrelevant”


    Didn’t read anymore after that.
