Anything involving border guards affects all of us. We use the border
We're getting older and harder of hearing. I sometime fear someone will yell stop and we won't hear.




If its not where it is, its where it isn\'t.

Yeah, you just never Know....................


When one of us old geezers might be running through the desert along the border, see some "official"-looking people and (not hearing their shouts) run AWAY. Another innocent soul lost to the Police state.

Heck, I read about that happening all the time. ALL of those innocents trampled by reckless out-of-control law officer thugs.

Yeah, Right.

Cite an example once in awhile when decrying all of this "Our Civil Rights in Tatters" BS.

I didn't say guards shouldn't defend themselves. I would just like some sort of check too be sure the strain of the job is not putting a twitch on the trigger finger.

Judgeing from the senseless butt shot, I'd say the trigger finger should spend a bit more time at the range.

Dennis, at night time and if 30 to 50 yards while both are running shots could go downward very easy. I love to shoot and in these type of situations don't think shots can go exactly to the target area you are shooting for. Think about it ground is uneven, gear on and depending how far you have run breathing affects your shot too, so I do not think the shot was due to someone a$$ing around:cool: Take care======bajafun777

Thanks 777. I see your point. I guess these front line guys should have suitable armament such as a machine gun. My point is, never shoot to wound....always shoot to kill. That's what they would do to you.
