I didn't say that.

I'm a former US Marine. I've fired every gun you can imagine. I'm trained in and studied combat tactics. For two years I was an instructor teaching combat tactics to Marine officers. I'm forty-three years old now. When the police banged on my door at 2am last year because they had the wrong house, it took me two minutes to figure out what the fuck was going on and another two minutes to shut the alarm and get the door open - And even then I wasn't prepared to go into any kind of tactical situation.

Anyone who thinks they can go from a dead sleep to grabbing their firearms and getting into a gun battle with an unknown amount of combatants in the middle of the night in the dark is kidding themselves. The odds of me shooting my own family members is greater than shooting anyone else. The only person that can do this is James Bond - and he doesn't exist.
