A more thorough explanation:
Definition: When something is "in point," it means that it is directly related to the current issue being discussed. It is relevant and appropriate to the topic at hand.
For example, if a group of lawyers are discussing a case about a car accident, a witness's testimony about the weather conditions at the time of the accident would be "in point" because it directly relates to the case. However, if the witness started talking about their favorite TV show, that would be "off point" because it is not relevant to the case.
Example: During a debate about gun control laws, statistics about gun violence in other countries may not be "in point" because they do not directly relate to the laws being discussed. However, statistics about gun violence in the United States would be "in point" because they are directly related to the topic at hand.
