I understand you chaps expression of "Gawd", I to was surprised to find the police minister has an IQ between zero and minus zero! That is astounding I also express "Gawd"! I found the following YouTube of the minister in action down at the range! Enjoy!

Issy, was the minister doing anything wrong? What about the bloke on the poster, was he supervising correctly?

Pauul,

I've seen that happen!!

But in the case that I saw a heavy US army holster deflected the bullet and all that he got was a big bruise to his thigh and a bigger bruise to his ego from the Colonel who tore strips off him.

Lesson, never cock a pistol as you draw, cock at around 45 degrees as you bring it up to point.

Is the police minister firing an assault rifle issued to him by the police at a police firing range doing something illegal?

Really? I guess there is no limit to stupid!!
