Hey all, I was wondering if you guys have run up against this rumor before and if someone knows if it holds water or not.
I have heard during days at the range some officers saying not to shoot too well, and to stay away from shooting perfect scores. They said on the off chance that I was involved in a shooting and a shot missed and hit an innocent those scores would be used against me by an attorney.
Does anyone have any knowledge of something that happened like this? Maybe personal experience or knowledge of case law? I have been in a fair share of firefights overseas and obviously being in a controlled environment slinging lead at paper is completely different than an actual gunfight. The only alternative I suppose is to intentionally throw a round every now and then, but that just seems like bad training.
Hope this is posted in the correct area, mods forgive me if it's not.
