No need to appologize. Good shootin'. Congratulations on the TECLEOSE

I worked for TDC for 14 years and quit in 2000. We had to qualify yearly with a SW model 65 basically shooting the same regiment that we shoot for the CHL. In addition, we had to have 'familiarity' training on the AR-15 and Rem 870. Shortly after I started work there, they quit taking scores every year because an officer shot and killed an escaping convict off the top of a fence. Of course it was justified, but in civil court the state had to pay the convicts family because the rules said we were not supposed to use DEADLY force to kill, only to stop the escape, or whatever else you were using DEADLY force for. The officer in question had previously qualified with perfect scores on several occasions. As this was part of your permanent record of training, it was used against the officer, who the other side made out to be some kind of A-Team/Special Forces/SWAT sniper/gun nut, who could light a match with a bullet at 1000 meters. The states attorneys were a real pitiful bunch just out of law school and didnt stand a chance.

Got a lawyer yet? If you ever have to use your plastic, your gonna need one. I found one before I even took the class.

Sorry I got off topic. I really hated that job.
