Honestly, if I knew someone who'd driven home from the bar every night for fifteen years and never had a problem, if someone asked me if I thought it seemed likely that he'd have a problem tonight, I'd say no. Maybe he's gotten lucky 5500 times in a row, but I'd personally conclude that whatever he was doing appeared to be relatively low-risk.How could they have? They're buried in their phones.Seriously, though, to me that's just one of those things like "Billy Bob's driven home from the bar every night for fifteen years without hittin' nothing."
This is a thread where I built a boat I designed and which I very occasionally update with accounts of using it, which is really fun as long as I'm not driving over logs and blowing up the outboard.

Reading back over the last several posts, I can't see where anybody has suggested that inattentiveness in public was some kind of new phenomenon, although I don't recall as much actual preambulating while reading the Chicago Tribune held up in front of people's faces, possibly due to aerodynamic reasons and possibly because it actually blocked vision rather than merely absorbing attention and most people don't understand that the latter can be almost as bad as the former.
As far as speakers over the ears in public, I know I nearly got hit by a car while riding my bike listening to a portable cassette player before there ever was a Macintosh, let alone an iPod to plug into it.
This is a great thread, I myself am pretty new to firearms and a lot of the courses mentioned seemed to predispose a reasonable
amount of competency.
Im a recent CCW holder, I took an introduction to pistol class and a CCW class, one thing i find confusing is the sheer amount
of training options available with so many people offering training and how to gauge training being worthwhile. Prior to doing
the intro and ccw I had a special forces veteran friend give me a 'lesson', it was about as much use as a chocolate tea pot
because despite being very competent himself it was a bit of a 'point it and do it' affair and he certainly couldn't communicate
what he was doing which put me off a bit..
I try and dry fire everyday and am going to the range once or twice a week on top of that
I'm a bit dinged up at the moment and train Russian Sambo one or two times a week as I'm recovering and strength and conditioning
five times a week on the non-firearms side.
In terms of basic training courses what should you look for or at a basic level does it matter that much? Any tips and wisdom would be greatly
appreciated

Thanks Mike, will do
Never been there but I hear good things about them and the guys that run it post here on a regular basis. They seem to be good guys although they might need to harden up some.

Oh I have absolutely no doubt it's a great school. I like what they have to say and what they emphasize in their training (accuracy.) I've been considering going to one of their classes.
Just having some fun with my buddy Nyeti is all.

I knew what you were trying to do.......It just wasn't funny....Its gunfighting, so Harden the F*$& Up.
