You know what? Thank you!

The gist of the issue is that Jamie Lee needs to find a new job. If she as a police officer can't tag him butt nekkid in the bedroom, then a new line of work is in order. It is not so much that he was getting shot, but she couldn't stop missing or just tapping an arm here and there. It was ridiculous!

Actually, Ron Silver getting shot several times and keeping on was the only realistic thing about the movie. In real life, it is hard to make someone fall from getting shot with a handgun, especially a .38.

And despite what Khazmir thinks, being a cop and receiving training doesn't guarantee accurate shooting in a high-stress situation. The fact of the matter is, most cops only hit 20% of the time when they aim and shoot because it's during a time when they're being attacked or someone's shooting back. It's easy to hit things when the target is paper and being perfectly still.

Yes, 38's are really being questioned lately for their lack of stopping power which is why I carry a 45.......... The 45 was issued to our soldiers in the Philippines because knockdown power was needed. It was also needed during Japanese Bonzai charges cause they were hopped up on, saki, drugs, and country and hard to knock down.

Guns kill people, just like Spoons made Rosie O'Donnell fat.
