Doesn't always mean the man knows what he's taliking about. I frequent an Academy by work during lunch on a regular basis to kill time. They are probably sick of me. I just can't help but get into the converstations between these know it all gun counter people who think they know everything and give false info to patrons who are buying a gun. Like today these guys were looking at shotguns who obviously never shot one before, and the counter guy tells them for home defense you don't need to aim the shotgun. Then he shows them how to hold the gun for home defense by holding it down at his waist and tells them this is how you shoot a shotgun for home defense and there is no need to aim. I had to bite my tongue!
Now I understand depending on the situation you may not have time to bring it up to your shoulder and get a flash sight picture before you pull the trigger. But it's a myth that you can just point and shoot a shotgun and expexct it to hit your target, because at close range the pattern is really tight and that kind of shot takes practice.
I didn't say anything this time cause I always seem to be interjecting when I'm up there and I didn't want to piss off the man. But damn I get sick of hearing stupid things these guys tell people.:!:
does anyone else have similar stories?
