Yes. RIP trying to protect those you loved

 Corey Comperatore, 50, a former chief of the Buffalo Township Volunteer Fire Company, was killed in the shooting, and two other people — David Dutch, 57, and James Copenhaver, 74 — were injured.

As it was he was clearly visible to various and sundry observers - to include LEOs and Secret Service sharpshooters.

The Gov't marksmen were watching him through their rifle scopes for quite some time before he began shooting and, without having to look around, touched off the round that ended the shooting.  Their indecision was amazing - amateur hour at its finest.

 

I Agree completely, some say LEO knew he had a rangefinder disguised as binoculars. strange...

Why don't you explain to Wendy why this is right, That women are responsible for the failures of the SS.

“Look, I’m not sure about who the individuals are on the individual detail, Secret Service, but I can tell you under this Biden administration, the one thing I’ve seen is massive D.E.I. hires,” Representative Cory Mills of Florida said on Fox News, referring to diversity, equity and inclusion practices.

“And I can tell you when you primarily, when you primarily go after D-E-I,” Mr. Mills continued, “you end up with D-I-E.”

Benny Johnson, a right-wing commentator, was more blunt in a social media post viewed nearly 9 million times: “Absolute humiliation for this gaggle of female Secret Service Agents,” he wrote in a post that showed the chaotic aftermath of the shooting, adding: “DEI Secret Service make Presidents LESS Safe.”

Wow,I thought we were on Roland's trumped up charges, with your insight, being there, that long. You could say anything you want, and we could agree on something.

 But if that's the direction you want to go..ok. Get with the program it's not just DEI, but B for Belonging.Funny, how folks pontificate firing that weapon, even being on the receiving end,but very few belong to that exclusive club.

“DEI Secret Service make Presidents LESS Safe.” My personal opinion it a standards issue.Pull priority.If there was a follow up attack, if the first shots just a diversion, the  hammer to an anvil.The outcome wb very different, But seems that never crossed minds.I think we can agree, an AAD fire.

Meh.

I've seen a few of the videos of the Secret Service agents having a bit of a struggle to re-holster their pistols.

It's not always an easy feat to accomplish.
The holster usually isn't visible, so it's done by 'feel'.
Cover garments get in the way. 
The adrenaline is starting to wear off (you don't put the gun away until you're reasonably sure it's over) and THAT'S when the shakes start to set in.

Most importantly, the videos I saw showed them maintaining muzzle discipline and keeping their trigger finger out of the trigger guard (off the trigger AND away from it altogether).

Most importantly, none of them shot themselves in the foot or leg.

A huge portion of unintentional discharges result from bad re-holstering. Many also cause self inflicted injury.

There were a LOT of screwups at that event. Many by the Secret Service.
But the videos of the agents going around don't show them.

I get it, I really do. It's OK to have women and minorities in some jobs, as long as you personally approve of each and ever one. There's a presumption that white men are qualified, and everyone else has to prove themselves.

But, you see, no one asked you.

There's always been some corporate/government speak for tearing down barriers (i.e., Race Relations). DEI is just the new word.

Unfortunately, it did not address the real reasons for the attrition and then just became the thing to blame for a worsening attrition rate. 

As for the holster situation - I'm not a fan of Kydex holsters, being so rigid, they are difficult to put the gun in, even more difficult being left handed, and factor in some adrenaline.

It is my impression that the rigid construction is necessary to get the gun retaining mechanisms to work property. That and the 3/4 inch more or less channel to insert it. All necessary to prevent the withdrawal of the gun by someone who is not familiar with its retention actions.

The holster can lose its "shape" causing one to have to unscrew it, heat it, reshape it, etc. If not done properly, can create additional issues. As to the 3/4" if one is an 1/8" off inserting the weapon back into the holster - you'll see the issues the SS member had with trying to put it back in the holster. If you get it right, they're good holsters, but not near as easy as a leather or nylon holster.     

I also don't like them because they will scratch your gun over time. Not might, will.

I will say, attempting a headshot at 150 yards with iron sights is not so easy. OTOH with a properly zeroed optic it’s very very easy. My 11 year old can hit a quarter at 200 yards 

anyone highly trained with the right gear is more effective that someone who is not or someone who has the wrong gear.  There is no indication that this punk had any significant training in the use of a gun for a 130+yd shot. 'he was a member of a shooting club' - so fucking what.  And the world is filled with highly trained people that wildly missed and took out innocent bystanders or started blasting and hit nothing.

While your son might be able to hit a quarter at 200yds, I expect he misses that a lot as well.  Show us a grouping of 10 shots and then tell us how good he is.

And even with that scope, the quarter at 200yds looks smaller that this period (.)   With iron sights, the quarter is not even visible, you are just guessing where it is based on where you placed it.  You hit it because you have a spotter giving you advice based on your misses.  100yds is a long shot for 95-98% of the people out there I expect.

We used to hit empty shotgun shells at 100yds with iron sights on Winchester bolt .22's.  We did not see the shells at all, we just knew where they were, since we were the ones that placed them.  A spotter gave corrections if they could see when we missed and where.  It took multiple shots to knock them down.

Am I highly trained?  Not really.  Can I boast about being able to hit a shotgun shell at 100yds with iron sights?  Yes I can.  Is that a measure of anything?  No it is not.  It's just talk and discussion.

There is also the curve of hips, which tends to be more pronounced for women, which canters the opening of the holster inwards without the weight of the firearm in it.

Lot of experts here on how they would have totally prevented all of this....Or how if the SS was only white men this would have never happened...like JFK and Reagan never got shot....

It's a shooting term referring to the grouping. Quarter, Nickel, Dime. Not real money, just the diameter of.

Perhaps a standard ; each agent shall draw and holster their weapon without difficulty.
