From: "Hal Wyman" <twl2@halwyman.com> Subject: Re: [PUP] Guns onboard In my opinion, anyone contemplating the possibility of defensive use of firearms should seriously consider the moral, legal and ethical issues involved, and also be well-trained in their use. A good course that covers all these aspects is the entry level course LFI 1 put on by the Lethal Force Institute in Concord, NH. I have taken it and in my opinion it is excellent. No connection other than customer. I expect Mr. Strickland will chime in on this subject. Scott? Hal ------------------------------- As Hal knows... I am not a gun nut, I am a competitive combat shooter, who would not own a home without a firing range. Just a few comments: Almost no country will let a (gun crazy) American shoot one of their countryman to protect your goods... you already have more then you need, just ask them! They may not even allow you to shoot a brother even to defend your life. In many countries, if you shoot someone you had better have shot someone with a gun, not have family in power, not be a government official... or be willing to spend the rest of your life in a really bad place.
