To Shoot or Not To Shoot…
Is that the question? No.
As part of the FBI Citizens’ Academy, we had the opportunity to see FBI Buffalo’s finest in action. Last Friday, we gathered at the Tonawanda Sportsmens Club in Pendleton. We were privy to a bomb diffusion demonstration. We were also lucky enough to witness a mock SWAT hostage rescue negotiation…$11 million helicopter flown in from FBI HQ in D.C. to boot. It was all very cool stuff.
The part about shooting? They had 5 different weapons that we had the opportunity to shoot. I opted to shoot a Glock 9 pistol (the standard pistol of FBI Special Agents) and an M-14. The pistol? I did pretty well. The M-14? I did okay until it switched to automatic…then it was just like in the movies…
Gave you an appreciation for what the FBI does…and makes those tax dollars a little easier to swallow. Tried to attach my target so you can see, but alas…not working…
