The National Democratic National Organizer Joseph Yamin has responded to criticism that he was practicing how to shoot with a side arm indicating that he was rather perfecting his targeting skills.

Yamin, a known barracks boy and a firebrand of a politician was recently seen in a viral video at a US practicing shooting range, aiming at some targets.
