Excuse if this has been posted before but I don't recall seeing it.

"Real-life inspiration for paper target in firearms training, ex-NYPD Lt. Jesse Oldshein, dies at 92"

"Thousands of cops opened fire at Jesse Oldshein over the years - and all it did was make him smile.

The retired NYPD lieutenant believed to be the real-life inspiration for a paper target used in firearms training died last week at his Florida home, relatives said.

He was 92 and had battled bladder cancer."

Here is a link to another forum that contains the complete article plus a picture of Jesse Oldshein and the famous target based on his image.

Oh yeah!
I shot him.
A lot.
It cost extra for this target at the range and we all gladly paid it.

Just goes to show you what appearances can do. All this time I thought I was shooting a bad guy.
