Here it is plain and simple to the OP:
If you do anything LEGAL and have to stop and think of the possible future ramifications then you have already lost. If it is legal to do then do it if you want. You can be brought up on all kinds of crazy civil and criminal charges if you get the right douche-bag doing it. That is what the lib-tarts on the left want; they can't make laws to stop all of the stuff they do not want you to do so they will make you so worried about it you will stop on your own.
As for the LEO shooting instructor; sounds like you need to find a new one. For even bringing up that BS he sounds like he feels a lot more important then he really is.
In no way do I make any money from anyone related to the firearms industry.
