A Practical Demonstration of why a HiCap Magazine ban wouldn't work

This demonstration is conducted by the Hon. Sheriff Ken Campbell of Boone County Indiana. Some of you may be surprised that all Law Enforcement officers don't support gun control and the magazine restriction. In my short 5 year career in Law Enforcement, I found that few if any of my fellow "Road Dogs" or street officers that were in favor of gun control. Only those that were political in nature and kowtowing the the Politicians in order to advance their careers were in favor of  gun control. In fact, most Local Law Enforcement officers (at least those not in large cities) are members of the NRA. In fact almost all Range Officers in almost every Police or Sheriffs dept in the country are NRA Members because they are trained and certified to operate their ranges by the NRA.

Sheriff Campbell demonstrates one exercise with a revolver in which they perform a "New York" reload. I was a little disappointed as I expected him to demonstrate the use of "speed loaders" which was how I was trained in the Police academy. I was able to fire 24 well aimed shots in 25 seconds from 25 yards keeping all of my rounds in the "5" ring. This stage requires three reloads with "speed loaders" which are mechanical devices that hold six rounds in the same configuration as the cylinder of your revolver. You dump the empties, push the speed loader home while hitting its locking button (or turning a knob) which releases the rounds into the cylinder.
  A standard police target at the time contained 5 different rings or scoring areas on a life size human silhouette. The 5 ring would comprise the area normally covered by the 9/10 rings of an FBI life size human silhouette (the Black outlined human target most people are familiar with). I fired the VA Modified Law Enforcement sequence 12 times in the academy, and once a year for a total of 16 times in my short career. I scored a perfect 300 (60rds x 5 points) 11 times. My lowest score recorded was 274 (still considered Expert Marksman). Each stage 3, 7, 15, and 25 yds is timed. There are also several reloads mixed in the stages with the most difficult being the 25 yard kneeling right, standing right and standing left barricade firing the 24 rds.

What I am try to emphasize is that with practice and determination, any shooter can be just as devastating with a revolver as a pistol with a HiCap magazine.

Enjoy the demonstration.
