[QUOTE="Mitch Rapp, post: 403741, member: 332"] That's why training training is so repetitive, you need to act, not think, but act and act properly. Eric at OPS told me a story about a trooper in N.Y. who, while transitioning to semi's, was taught that, on the range, if they had a malfunction to lift a hand and the range boss would come clear the weapon. They were briefed on clearing stoppages but, that was not how they practiced. During a traffic stop the trooper was attacked and had to use his weapon, it jammed, and before he was gunned down, he raised his hand. He was not a coward, nor was he a fool, he simply had been [B][I]conditioned[/I][/B] to respond a certain way. [/QUOTE]
