Our government has turned against us.
About 12 or so years ago I went to a IPSC type shoot at Quantico USMC/FBI base.
We had JUST moved to Virginia from Ohio and my holsters/ammo were MIA (except for the mags and G19 I kept in my Logistics bag at the time... PREMIUM ammo... so not going to shoot that).
Anyway, found a CZ-52 pigskin flap holster... and zipped by Walmart for some white box 9mm. Hadn't shot a pistol in probably a year.
About 100 shooters... FBI, State Troopers, County Deputies et al.
I have never had any formal training... EVER... I had never even heard of IPSC before the invite. I am a HORRIBLE shot with a pistol... absolutely horrible... I am not kidding
I came in 8th.
Every word of that is the truth.
