“They really are only accurate to maybe about 200 yards. After that there’s really no accuracy in ’em,” he said.Dear Jayme & David... did you think to run that 200 yard comment past an actual shooter?
Here's a couple of thoughts.
Go find a 200 meter rifle range (pistol training typically takes place at 10 to 25 meters) and try hitting a man sized target with a handgun. Better still, try asking a Toronto cop what their pistol qualification consists of. Rest assured, the maximum distance will be a small percentage of your mythical 200 yards (which is, btw, the length of two football fields).
Come back and file your follow-up story... 'cos right now, you look like a couple of morons.
Does the Star's Food writer actually go out to restaurants & eat a meal, or does he/she just look at pictures of the food and ask bus boys for comments?
P.S. - Pretty much any deer rifle on the market will penetrate a police issue kevlar vest. Does that make Canadian Tire a "Merchant of Death."

"School officials say the dress code does ban such shirts because they can disrupt the educational process."So much for free speech.
