[QUOTE="abajaj11, post: 312473, member: 3553"] Good sobering points. IMHO, there are degrees of threats and degrees of training. If a trained killer came after me, with lots of experience, then a higher level of training would be needed. But most criminals are too lazy to train, no? Otherwise why why would they be criminals, if they weren't lazy and looking for an easy way out in life? Most folks I see training are extremely law abiding, and most CCW holders are extremely law abiding. Of course, a bullet is a bullet, no matter how untrained the hand that fires it. I like to shoot for fun, and any training I get is incidental, but no doubt, a practiced shooter will fall back on practice techniques (grip, front sight, trigger control, etc) thereby increasing the chance of first neutralization. But the best defense is of course, to leave quickly, BEFORE anything hits the fan, so you don't have to risk facing those bullets. -abajaj11 PS I realize folks in LE don't always have the luxury of leaving before stuff hits the fan, but I think Michael's post was aimed at civilians.
