Randy,I'll go slightly off topic here. I know you do your share of recreational shooting as do I. Does it amaze you the number of fatalities in drive by shootings. Unskilled thugs popping caps from moving platforms in the general direction of individuals that are also moving? Knowing how hard it is to hit something vital on a moving target I just don't understand how so many end up getting hit much less dieing.

Maybe the same thought was used in creating the scene in the movie.

That does surprise me...the only thing I can think of is that there are a multiple guys shooting multiple rounds, and there are one or two lucky shots.

Either that, or the gangstas are reading Jeff Cooper and participating in IDPA matches when they're not out bangin'.

Up in Huntington some gangsta's got kicked out of the range because they enjoyed shooting the grass and watching dirt fly everywhere, so they apparently practice shooting at something.
