Are you freaking kidding me?!?

Apparently (as taken from another site) the photographer is one of the instructors at the class being conducted there. Still this is a whole case of dumb ass in a box! What's more, why didn't any of the students step back and go "uh, dumb ass, WTF!!"

Don't care who they are, that's not a line I would be on. Most likely would have up and left the class at that point and insisted on getting my money back.

I would imagine that if he is a NRA certed instructor they would drop him like a bad habit.

If the insurance carrier found out about this they would also drop the range in a heart beat.

It's been a long time since I have seen stupid like that.

That's a Tactical Response "Fighting Pistol" class, is it not?

[Elhuero]

Am I a bad person for hoping he catches one in an arm or leg to teach him a lesson?

[Hoser]

That's a Tactical Response "Fighting Pistol" class, is it not?

Yes it is.

I do not agree with the practice nor do I think its smart, but...

Having someone down range does not violate any of the 4 safety rules, and the world is not a square range.

The dude that turns around with his finger on the trigger is the biggest bonehead of them all.

seriously... that is the 2nd dumbest thing ive ever seen, next to the hillbilly kid who takes a 9mm through a vest to see if it works...

If any of these people get a little adrenalin going and miss that target, that guy is fawked! And what kind of moron pulls there weapon to a "ready" position and points it up? Ever wanna know what it feels like to shoot somebody? go to this class and miss your target...

Nah, the idiot without the tripod and remote takes the cake by a long shot.

This video is awesome. I personally would not have agreed to do that, because I'm a bad shot, and I know it.

[GunTroll]

Awesome! Looks fun. Would I try it.....? Maybe if I was on morphine and Jim Beam!

[Driftwood]

I wonder how often Tactical Response takes videos like this? Is it often, or was this a one time incident? Anyone know?

And what kind of moron pulls there weapon to a "ready" position and points it up?

There are many different ready positions than just the traditional Low Ready. Different schools teach different things and have a different philosophy. Some even teach position SUL (yes, with a pistol).
