    How in the hell do you accidentally shoot someone during training three times with a pistol?

    Couldn't find anything in the news.
    Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.

    Anyone that thinks war is good is ignorant. Anyone that thinks war isn't needed is stupid.

    Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.

    Thanks for asking. I didn't want to sound uninformed.

    No problem. I'm comfortable with asking (what is probably) a stupid question.

    I hate this whole fucking no one identifying who it was. I get there is an NDA/investigation regarding the specifics -- but it really feels like some others in the industry are trying to safeguard a certain Russian's reputation.

    It has nothing to do with reputations.

    I didn't name names because the lessons I wanted to highlight apply regardless of who was involved.

    For those of you interested in the gossip side of it; CQB evolution, One AI and one student in the second room discussing previous target engagements. Sonny Puzikas enters first room engages targets (no lights). AI and student do not ID that they are there. Sonny goes into room two, knows where tagets are because he set it up, engages target with failure drill (AI is standing in front of target. Student kneeling). Two to abdomen, one to bicep. 18D on scene stabilizes AI. AI Will live.

    Short story (lessons learned)- in the shoot house, low light, lost positive control of members inside house, no armor, no positive ID on shooters, no white lights on gun, no positive ID on target.

    Yes, "AI" stands for Assistant Instructor.
