I stopped by Ray Chapman's place in Hallsville, MO, one time, and it happened to be when Ayoob was teaching a class to some Marines. He didn't want me around (I might learn his "secrets" or something). I was already a pretty fair IPSC shooter, so I moved on, but it kinda struck me that he was a "Legend in his own Mind", especially when I checked his classification scores with USPSA. He was in the same class I was (B), and my averages were better than his. He might have some experience in court, but he was just another shooter from then on, to me at least. He's certainly an arrogant little prick.
You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
