I wouldn't used it based on the fact its their picture and you didn't get permission to use it.

He is the lead instructor in charge of training at HK. Former VP of marketing and training.

That's along the lines what I was thinking, except an American (of any color) would be preferable to a Korean (that's the South Korean flag on her arm).

Design follows function - that picture doesn't convey the mission you expressed.

OH I get it!! I need to learn to read. Sorry. I thought we were looking for HK operator fotos. Here is one from My tactical Carbine class. Notice fingers off triggers and no muzzles pointed at anyone.

Something like this or more of action shots of people shooting their weapons using all the proper safety gear. Stuff like that.

I agree - the picture you show is a "bit much" and you'd be better served to post pictures of the events and people who particpated in them. Maybe post the scores of shoots and pictures of targets used, that type of thing.

Reminds me of how our society has given up so much personal freedom in the name of public safety. Of how we give our police too much levity to intrude into our private lives by force. Of how our police, who are meant to "protect and serve" the public citizen have become a para-military unit full of too many adrenaline junkies looking for their next rush at the expense of our individual rights and freedoms....

Hahaha, is it really? This picture was on the website way before I was even at the school. If this is true, it's coming off for sure.

jonny4523 · 10-22-2006, 07:10 PM

So what do you think of this one to replace it?
