On the subject of distraction, starting at 1:30 in the video, here's Tom Givens talking about what most criminals expect you to do.
Turn up your volume, the audio is kind of low and hard to understand.

I stopped training when I realized how dangerous Gunbuffer was getting! I took up competitive macrame just so I wouldn't lose my edge. I still practice occasionally though, that hook loop thing is a bear!
I do like the bikini briefs you made for me. Or was it a hanging planter??
Knowing Tom it was “get off the x”
That is great advice.....that way you don't end up owing her more child support!
Continuing on
It is theorized by some that moving to the outside, meaning to the back of the gun hand, produces better results. The reason being is that more often than not a person will be slower tracking your movement to the outside than if you were to move to the inside. We are talking tenths or maybe hundredths of a second difference but every little bit helps.
The square range is a great place to build skills but only shooting at cardboard targets that don't shoot back will never tell you what your fighting skill level really is, no one has ever lost a fight to a cardboard target. At some point we have to test our skills, that brings us to Force on Force training. I get it, no one wants to get hit by a sim round or even a plastic BB from an air soft pistol, it's painful to the body and the ego but you'll never know if what you practicing is worth the time and effort without testing it. A FoF class will clear things up in a hurry. There is another plus to having an air soft pistol, you can practice close up defence target shooting at home for pennies where live fire at the range will cost dollars. 50 shots from an air soft pistol cost practically nothing and except for noise and recoil nothing changes. Most quality airsoft pistols will fit the holsters of their firearm counterpart so the draw is the same.
I recently read that only 1 in 5 attacks are committed by bad guys using weapons. We can talk "disparity of force" but unless that disparity it is undeniably obvious a person could find themselves in legal jeopardy should they use or threaten deadly force when it isn't necessary. Aggravated Assault is one of most common ways a CCW will find themselves in trouble with the law. Agg Assault is a felony that carries years in prison. When we look at attorney Andrew Branca's "5 elements of self defense" innocence, imminence, proportionality, reasonableness and avoidance we see "proportionality", in this conversation meaning a non weapon attack is, at least from a legal standpoint, best met with with a non weapon defense. This add's another layer to our training, pepper spray and empty hand skills. We want to avoid being the one trick pony that makes guns the end all and be all of self defense.
More later, maybe.........

Getting off the X??? Maybe she is just too hot not to? Maybe I'm a sucker with low self-esteem?
Did you take her back and make her dessert?
I'm not talking about waiting for him to shoot. The scenario was very sketchy and really depended upon the totality of the circumstances. If I had cover, concealment, if he ever pointed the gun at me, if, if, if. All I'm saying is do not be the aggressor until your life is in danger. I feel everyone here knows what I mean.
I got the first joke. Do t try too hard amigo. Theres better ways of warming up your core body temp
