Although I mostly agree, the person who hit him may have thought they clipped a deer. If seen as a quick shadow in your peripheral vision, I could see how they could have mistaken him for one. However, unless they didn't *have* insurance, I would have thought they'd stop and call their insurance company at the very least so they could get the damage to their car taken care of!

I tend to look at both sides; it's also entirely possible the person is simply a cowardly, cold-hearted, uncaring individual who simply doesn't want to be caught.

Brain injury, maybe? Never refuse to be checked out with head or neck injuries. You may not realize it at the time, but it could literally save your life. Condolences to the family. I'm so sorry.

A few points to make based on the strict rules, etc. here - not aimed at you, IowaPatriot, but in response to the strictness in the rules that you mentioned:

The idea with this test is to get you as stressed as you might find yourself in in Real Life. If someone pulled a gun on you or threatened you with deadly force, your blood pressure WILL be going up and the stress levels will be high. The test is designed to see how well you might shoot when faced with that situation.

For those who don't understand, the rules are for safety and practicality: will you have a bench in a real life situation? No, but hopefully you'll have a holster. Keeping your muzzle on the bench is to try to safely simulate drawing the gun from the holster which, in this indoor range, becomes a serious safety issue. Will you have a wall or a bench to lean on in real life? Nope, probably not. And anyone who *doesn't* keep their fingers off the trigger until they've acquired their target is just asking for trouble...it's one of the first rules in hand gun safety.

Sorry, but I can't see how this comment makes any logical sense. This was a guy with his OWN GUN, what difference does it make if he were a permit holder or not?

Keep your finger off the trigger until you have acquired your target! *sigh*

Because it's 350 people in the last *month* who have applied. However, I see your point.

It's also much easier to have a shoveled sidewalk than to be sued by someone who slipped and fell, possibly breaking a bone, on the unshoveled walk in front of your house. Cheaper, too.
