You may not get into that link -- I keep getting "server too busy"


According to Law Enforcement Targets Inc these targets are part of a 'no more hesitation' training program for law enforcement and DHS

DHS has ordered about $2 M from this company

Maybe these targets are for the 2 billion rounds of ammo DHS has recently purchased

I was able to get this from letargets.com

No More Hesitation

No More Hesitation Targets were designed to give officers the experience of dealing with deadly force shooting scenarios with subjects that are not the norm during training.No More Hesitation faded background enhances the isolation and is meant to help the transition for officers who are faced with these highly unusal targets for the first time.
Mix & Match "No More Hesitation" targets for best pricing.

Windpower, out of curiosity, if a law enforcement officer is operating within the constitution, and encounters a situation like this, what should they do? Do you have a problem with them training for a situation like this? Should law enforcement only practice deadly force on targets consisting of men wearing vintage 90's attire, sporting a porn stash?

So is this an endorsement or a criticism?


The hard part with these targets is seeing the gun, at least from the small images that is what I sense. Perhaps the real targets at the distances they are meant to be used make that different. The real test for using these would be to have the targets used in a typical urban target setting with the images popping into view from behind cars and popping into view in doorways and windows. The real test then becomes one of the officer discerning whether or not the target image is a threat or not a threat. Holding a gun aimed at the officer or not holding a gun. That is extremely difficult to see and decide, before the alleged perp fires his gun and puts two into your face.

So if the OP was a criticism please expand on how officers are supposed to protect us and themselves when dealing with the possibly unbalanced minds of other people with guns?

Have you ever had anyone point a gun at you windpower? Do you know anyone who has had a gun pointed at them and been wounded or killed because of indecision on their part? I am intimately involved with some people, officers, who have. I consider myself lucky that nobody ever pointed a firearm at me.

I used to work with a ex-policeman

he indeed had guns pointed at him

the situations were resolved without gunfire

Police choose their profession, do they not -- it comes with the territory


On the other hand, let's all take advantage of these wonderful targets to make us more safe

go ahead order a bunch of these and take them to your local range --

Tell the range officer it is to help you be more careful in the use of your concealed carry permit --

let me know how that works out for you
