Interesting understanding. It has to be one or the other, not both?
I was referring you to the evidence. So you doubt Marina?
How is practicing at Love Field different than practicing at a rifle range?
The rifle range provides a safe, controlled environment to evaluate a rifle's accuracy using the open sights. A scope can be dialed in. I'm surprised this has to be explained to you.
The carcano was not a "junk" rifle.
My statement was qualified. I didn't say it was junk per se.
The military taught LHO how to familiarize himself with the rifle without actually firing it.
familiarize?

What evidence? Both locations are based on witness testimony. Why is the rifle range the best place? What does it matter which environment he chose. He was simply trying out a new to him firearm.

No place is any safer than the person with the firearm. Showing up at a rifle range on foot with a gun in a blanket would have been interesting and they like to sell the ammo. Love Field would have worked better, but both have their advantages, but you pay at a rifle range. LHO did not possess a spotting scope.
My statement was qualified. I didn't say it was junk per se. Qualified how? Junk per se?
Junk per se means what?
So now the rifle was not “junk”, as a side note, Italy at one time used them in Nato competition team shooting contests. Hardly junk in any qualification.
Familiarize? Yes- Remember he sat on the porch working the rifle bolt and aiming it. This is the best method to teach trigger control, trigger creep, sight picture, rifle balance, etc. Firing the rifle is the final step, not a must to practicing.
Marine practice by dryfiring. Major Anderson elaborated on it.
