    There is nothing wrong with new/modern techniques so long as they work.

    I just don't agree they are necessarily superior, especially if they are at odds with your current body dynamic. Basically I am rejecting the notion that suddenly I no longer know how to shoot because a bunch of guys started holding their guns differently. This is more or less what I am getting from guys like rob.

    It is also basically him saying that he would be capable of defeating guys like Jack Weaver in his prime in a gun fight because rob has a newer way of holding and presenting his firearm.

    And I am rejecting that notion because winning in a gunfight involves so much more than where you put your thumb or index finger of your support hand. And if you are primarily focused on those minor details, you are not paying attention to the important ones.

    To put it simply, I do not believe that pressing a handgun out from my chest vs. drawing a straight line from my draw to presentation makes me a superior gun fighter. I think they are simply two different ways to accomplish the same thing.

    That is the point I am trying to get across.

    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Chuck, we miss ya man.
