In Venezuela, for example, they ran some 1,500 Guardia National security forces through jungle courses in which silhouettes sprang from trees at trainees, who learned to pump at least two rifle shots into the figures within five seconds...

It is going to take some doing, but this little piece of harness would protect the public, protect the worker, and lead to the greatest business boom in history...
