My money is on both. Or maybe they were afraid what you’d do if they crop dusted ya !!
He does know how to use heavy machinery and dig holes.
Its sad how little time officers get on the range. For time and $$ involved.
That's for sure. I've mentioned before that I end up on the range with an inordinate number of cops and military guys. And I'd say from talking to them that more than half of their respective departments are filled with cops that shoot once a year for quals.
A lot of ranges I’ve been to won’t let you shoot at human shaped targets.
Mine will let me shoot at old refrigerators strapped up with tanerite.
some guy here in the southern part of my state, was blowing up cans of tannerite.Mine will let me shoot at old refrigerators strapped up with tanerite.

They sell it at Walmart here.some guy here in the southern part of my state, was blowing up cans of tannerite.
he got arrested.
what i am not sure of, if it was the quantity of it all, or the Tannerite in general that's against the law here...

Every sporting goods store around here sells Tannerite on the shelves
it is sold here as well, i just don't see it, only the online ads at 1 store i will go to from time to time.
News nerds said it was the WAY he was setting it off, by inserting a fuse, not by shooting at it to set it off, is illegal to do there. Plus he was a 20 yr old so .. brain damage too.
I’ll tell a little story long ago about learning paper targets vs real life.
I was hog hunting in a tall box blind overlooking a creek where hogs would come a lot to an open wheat field to dig and root around for food. Had a .270 for hogs and my Sig228 on my side.
No hogs appeared and it was getting dark. Kept hearing this digging and scratching around my stand. Look down to see a skunk scurrying around digging and doing his thing under my ladder. Time goes on and he doesn’t leave and it’s getting where I need to get down. I start throwing water bottles and stuff from my stand at it to get it to move on. No luck. It scurries around about 10 yards and keeps coming back
Throw one more item. It runs 10 yard and comes back.. I got to go. It’s getting dark, and I don’t want to walk into him in the dark going back to my truck.
I find shooting a moving target is the hardest. I’ve learned to do it. Takes time. It is necessary to do as a shooter.
Besides, hogs don’t stand still. They run 30mph and cartwheel massively with a headshot
Before y’all get mad at a dead skunk, a fellow camp bud was sprayed walking back to their vehicle the previous season .
I live in Texas.
They are to your west.
It's a huge mistake to think about the court case during the shootout.

Out comes my P228. Skunk is 10 yards out. Boom! Miss just short of head. Skunk jumps. Crap. Forgot I was elevated looking down. Adjust. Skunk is running circles but still 10 yards out. Boom! Miss. Just short of body. Blows dirt into skunk. Skunk jumps and is going bat poop crazy. Same circles. WTF! Boom! Miss again. 1” off
Think! Moving target .. lead and adjust!! That’s it. Like bird hunting!! Boom. Dead. Paced off 22 steps from ladder.
Shot bulls eyes for years, but never other than static paper. Real life was a moving target. Muscle memory wasn’t there for a moving target. Muscle memory was there for a shotgun on a fast bird, but not a pistol.
Started training real soon on the moving targets, then me on the move, then both on the move.
Haven’t done it in awhile, and I’m rusty.
That will be in the training rotation soon.
If you don’t practice reloads, failures, drills, moving, etc, there will be no training to fall back on when something goes wrong. Every pilot trains for big problems with their aircraft to fail. So WHEN it does, the mindset is there to fall back on training. A gun will fail. You may trip and dump the mag or countless other issues.( seen it happen in a training to someone)
