What?

I'm not a Tactical Response fanboy. What gives?

I think he assumed you'd have a vocal opinion based on your reputation as a strict proponent of gun safety, or the "INGO Safety Nanny" (depending on who you ask).

Same comment I've always had on the downrange stuff, done it in the past, I just see the risks outweighing the benefits. For me and my circumstances, too much to lose for so little gain.

For all the rest of the Captain Tacticals on INGO, if it floats your boat, cool.

Assumption of the risk for the camera dude, he is an adult and fully aware. This isn't like shooting your 11 year old nephew in the basement or dicking around with a gun in the gun show parking lot.

I'm confident enough to take the shot, but I'm not sure I have enough facial hair currently to be the photographer.

It's the style at the time. Facial hair, tactical taupe pants and a dirty baseball hat is all the rage now.

For someone so vocal about the 4 rules, you're being this flippant about down range photography all the sudden?

 

[Kirk Freeman]

The Four Rules are being followed. The camera dude is aware of what happens if someone slips on shotgun shells, sneezes or has a weapon malfunction (e.g. sear break).

As I said, this isn't dicking around in the parking lot at the range or gun show. Camera dude is getting what he bargained for.

 

[chezuki]

There have been several USPSA stages where I've been either the shooter or the photographer in situations not that different than what TR does. The stages work off of a 180* line of fire and there may be targets near the 179* mark. People take pictures/video just off the 180 on the other side. It definitely depends on the who the shooter is though as to where I'm willing to stand.

Did you watch the video?

Did you watch the video?

Clearly not.

 

[lovemachine]

I'm happy to say that I did not watch the video.

And ,, yep, no one cares

About what?

Who's James Yeager?

Esrice's brother.

 

[chezuki]

Wondering what he was referring to that "no one cares" about.

Could be the down range photographer issue, knowing who watched the vide, INGO, or even the internet in general?
