    Most people are concerned about NDs when bolstering but a fair percentage of NDs occur on the draw.
    You're kidding right? I thought it was obvious that I was being sarcastic when I mentioned his mustache and clothing but maybe I should have put j/k or a smiley.

    You should. There is no tone in text. That is what emojis are for.

    As for the mustache, clothing etc - I would expect a guy who fits the fireaems instructor stereotype so well to know better but once again - never assume.

    I was hoping the carry guard would be more derived from the LE side of the NRA training house but this does does not bode well.

    You gotta re-calibrate your sarcasm meter, it was pretty obviously a joke.

    I read that the guy in the picture--James Jarret, I believe--had his hand reconstructed after some type of police or military related injury like shrapnel from a bomb. His hand had to be rebuilt or something and thus he doesn't have good control over it.

    I agree that a course constructed by the NRA LEO trainers would have been better--but it seems that they relied on the flash of Special Warfare to draw students.

    A lot of people wouldn't known that context. Would have been better had they used someone else for a similar picture showing a much less flubbed looking draw.

    Seriously, who thought using this photo was a good idea ?

    Regardless, the real issue is with the NRA program or marketing director who chose this image to represent their program.

    Not to mention Dana Loesch's scowling visage everywhere I turn. Okay, I get it...she's scary.
    There's nothing civil about this war.
