A little background on my Brother-in-law (B.I.L), served a church mission in Argentina, fluent in Spanish, took 10 years to get his masters degree (still don't know what in), gets carpal tunnel syndrome whenever he has to do manual labor.

Well after many fruitless jobs where he didn't make manager in the first week, he finally got on with the FBI as an analyst and just finished his training in Virginia. I guess they really needed bi-lingual people. Anyhoo, he and his family stayed with us for a night while they were in transition to move from San Antonio to Shreveport, where he will be for the next 2 years. I ask him how did his training go and what did they do? I was interested to know that even as a desk jockey he will be issued a sidearm, especially after watching him shoot my .45 a few years earlier. Scary. Well in his explanation of the weapons training and qualifying, he commences to tell us that he was able to put all of his rounds in the center of the 6" target..........at 100yds with the Glock .40 they issued to him.


UMMMM................Yeah. My tongue bled pretty good on that one.

No but he is a legend in his own mind. My wife even chuckled after they left because she knew he was full of $h!t.

Well he's not a field agent so I'm sure he didn't take any "special" courses. Just the fact that the FBI hired him baffles me. I really want to take him to the range next time we get together just so I can call him on it. Unless he really is a prodigy or freak of nature then I may be eating crow.

Take a copy of the above course and ask him to shoot it with you.
