What I wouldn't give for a good old fashioned "Hogan's Alley."

Yes. I'm predicting that Chicago/Cook county will be sold out in order to get "shall issue".

Nope - that's a student.

I'd probably break my face on those tires.

Curiousity on my part - at the 1:00 mark the student rotates and fires close range at a target roughly 90 degrees from the previous course layout with another person standing at his 3:00 and another a bit further away at his 2:00? Perspective is hard to judge on a videotape but it sure looks like one person gets swept by the loaded pistol and another is potentially in the line of fire?

I think that is an illusion,   the camera is on his head    he deffantly swivels his head in those directions, but if you notice, there is not pistol in line of view which would indicate to me either it was pointed down or had been previously re- holstered.

No, he turned and broke 180 with the gun in his hand, but he was in Position Sul (muzzel pointed straight down at the ground.) He used the same technique moving from target to target.

Exactly what he may have to do in public some day should he need to draw his pistol for self-defense.

...and the target was actually faced the same way as the rest of the targets, and it was placed two feet forward of the firing line.

`thanks for the clarification - without pausing  the video the turning got a little confusing to me - after going frame by frame I now see that the cameraman was at the shooter's 3:00, not in front of him.

What's with the tires?
"A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks"
-Thomas Jefferson-

Now two flags fly above my land that really sum up how I feel. One is the colors that fly high and proud the red, the white, the blue. The other ones got a rattle snake with a simple statement made, don't tread on me, is what it says and I'll take that to my grave
