Forward Assist and Kyle Rittenhouse vidicated

[montana]

In all my many years training and using pistols, I've never have, or been taught to, push forward or hit on the slide to chamber a round or fix a malfunction. Tap, rack and go (or tap, rack and assess as they began instructing a few years back).

If a round won't chamber, get rid of it. Use the charging handle.

Yup and the prosecution tried to claim he did just that to justify bicep dudes aggression with a pistol..I have used the FA numerous times, especially in winter while hunting. I never understood the need to remove an option, but that's just me. In Kyles case, it saved his life...
