elmer Keith never pointed a guin at anyone. he was never a cop, either.

nor did he serve in the military. yet Jeff Cooper took a Colt SA revolver to WW2, on Elmer's advice, and had to have Janelle send him his 1911 in a care package! also, Jeff MISSED several shots with that SA, cause in COOPER ON HANDGUNS, he mentions that "having to reload that old relic, in the dark, in the rain, in the mud, was a chore of which I grew very tired, very quickly".

Different men, different times. Both were knowledgeable, experienced shooters, and both wrote well.

I fail to see the point of this thread.

It's a bit vague at this point.

Many 'think" Jeff never missed in combat, he tended to encourage that myth. Many "think" Elmer had lots of combat experience, but he had none. I've held men at gunpoint 5x in my life. i've had a dozen other confrontations (or near-attacks, when I would have been justified in drawing, but I either wasn't packing (misdemeanor where I was) or something intervened just in time. Once, my lw commander "caught' on the bottom of a table, when a large teenager at a full run rounded the corner of an open air taco bell, in S cal, carrying an UZI. I saw "man with smg" and the gun came out of the belly rig. Then I saw the water dripping off of the muzzle of an UZI. Kids in cities are very stupid to be messing around in such a manner. 1986, there was no coloring or marks at all to indicate that it was not the real deal. He came within about 3/4 second of being shot.

I believe we are all supposed to be impressed. Nothing much to see.

New dude with 35 posts per day. Hope he gets back on his meds or his home health-care worker comes back from vacation.

I am just an average "Joe" who has been carrying for a years now. Like most law enforcement officer's, I have not and I hope that I never have to pull and use my weapon. I am wonder how this guy has had to hold 5x guys at gun point and has had many confrontations were he thought he was justified. Do you go around looking for trouble? I fired my weapon once at an individual who I visually saw trying to break into a neighbor's home and the load that was fired was shell shot.

Commando? No! Whack-o? Quite probably.

I must lead a boring life or at least live in a boring and very safe place. My father let my use his guns 60 years ago and I've been shooting and hunting ever since. I have been carrying on a regular basis for the last several years. And I never have had to draw it for self defense; nor do I want to be in that position. Carrying firearms has made me a much more tolerant and thoughtful person.
