That's the best video I've seen -- and is IMHO 100% accurate.... I have been in police training scenarios - I go to the Seattle Police range weekly - I have police friends... and I can tell you that even when you know something is going to happen -- you're reaction times SUCK! And your accuracy SUCKS...
But I also agree that the shooter targeted the unsuspecting CC holder and the odds are that wouldn't happen... so it's a bit of a set up.
I don't think any of us has much of a chance in this "set up" style scenario...
BUT --- I have carry permits for when I'm on the road... I'm on the side of the road at night - or perhaps broken down etc... THEN I have a chance at protecting myself.
I don't have ANY guns not locked up at home. EVER. The odds of my home being broken into while I'm there -- by a gun toting robber... is just about zilch. I'll take my odds in that scenario. We have panic silent call remotes by our bed. Hopefully I hear something and have enough time to react to even doing that. I have adult children that come and go - are away from home - but are always free to come in. No way would I want to wake up and accidentally shoot one of them or one of their friends. I'd rather it "be me" than to take that chance.
That's just my opinion. I'm just not the paranoid type I guess. And I certainly do care about safety and I like my guns... so I'm not anti gun or anti defense.
