I thought the piece originated in CA where it's hard to find any positive news coverage of firearms or their use in self defense. CA is home to Hollywood, where the shoot-to-wound myth was at least echoed profusely if not invented there. Nevertheless, it's not easy to find nonbiased news coverage of firearms an their lawful use anywhere. Even in more conservative areas, seldom are the producers and reporters products of the local area anymore. I thought it was a decent work.

There are schools of thought that say to stay off of cover, so the reporter keeping the muzzle back a few inches is tactically sound. Probably no better feedback than splinters in your face to let you know you're jerking the trigger (as long as everyone is wearing proper eye protection).

With "shall issue" becoming a court-mandated reality in CA, hopefully there will be more positive, factual news pieces on shooting originating in the Golden State and change some attitudes.
