When I was doing my ccw shooting qual years ago there was a ratchet-ass black chick trying to earn hers as well. She had the glittery nails that went an inch beyond her fingertips, weave,... the works. She shows up with a fucking high point to shoot her qual. First they had to see everyone load their magazines while exhibiting safe handling practices. Then you had to demonstrate that you understood how to load the weapon, use the manual safety (if it had one) etc... finally you had to shoot the qual.

Right off the bad she clearly had no clue nor interest in how to operate that piece of shit. She couldn't load the magazines with her nails as they were so they helped her. They had to talk her through the pistol's various features even though we'd just sat through an entire fucking class on it. Finally, she shot the qual.

Every round she fired was with her eyes closed. Flinching all over the place. Scared out of her damn mind. The target was only about 5 yards away. Didn't hit it once. They let her shoot it again. Knicked the edge of the paper once. That's it. So they failed her out and refused to issue her certificate of completion.

The second she failed out she called somebody on her Obama phone and had a heated exchange about how she didn't pass and "I toll you foo! Ain't no way ize gonna pass dat, dammit! Come pick my ass up! I'm tire uh diss shit! I jess wanna go home, nigga!"

I was mesmerized. It could not have been more obvious to everyone present that she had zero interest in obtaining a ccw permit. Her felonious boyfriend was making her do it so he could make her hold his gun whenever they got pulled over. I was speechless that the range even let her try.

So, yeah, some people really are that bad at shooting.

A lack of understanding of the fundamentals of marksmanship?

Quoted:
Most people can't shoot better than SHTF - the majority can't pull a tight group without a lead sled or other supporting device(s).

Quoted:
Shooting shotgun slugs is not for the faint of heart.  The fierce blast and recoil makes people want to flinch.  On top of that, point of impact on a slug is easily changed by an inconsistent hold.  

It takes old man nerves of steel to shoot one accurately.

"You cannot invade mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass."

Definitely would be a rifle behind each blade except no marksman. The average American can't shoot for shit and it will continue to get worse as the demonization of firearms increases.

Burnsville pistol range or Bill's?

I've almost gotten shot twice at the Circle Pines Bill's location.

I have a 2 inch .32 S&W Long revolver. I can't hit a target 5 feet away from me with it

I'm fine with everything else. It's my mystery gun

Quoted:
This is my target at 100 yards before I had even loaded a magazine.  A guy two lanes over with an orange and black diamond shaped target was shooting it thinking it was his.

I went to the range this past weekend and got some good practice in, but this has been bothering me.  Sometimes I like to spy on other people's targets during a lull to ceasefire to check how other people are doing.  I've seen some really amazingly tight groups and I've seen some targets that make me lose faith in humanity.

This past trip there was a group that brought a shotgun (with slugs) and an SKS that looked like they dragged it through a Tapco catalog and had a reflex sight on it.  At 50 yards and a metric f**k ton of ammo later,  I could see 2, maybe 3 shots on paper (they had one target 8-10" wide).  I saw dirt kick up 2 feet away, 6 feet away, and they even managed to hit the wood overhang a few times which prompted a quick response from the RO.  And no, they weren't doing mag dumps.  Fastest rate of fire allowed is one shot per one second.

How can anyone honestly be THAT bad?
