The good news for ME -- is that I have access and have and continue to use the training simulator. I can tell you that NONE of you have any friggin' clue how fast someone can "close" 21 feet... and what your reaction time is. And when presented with shoot no shoot scenarios - you'll have even a better idea of just how weak your supposed "skills" are.
I'm not saying this to challenge anyone -- I'm saying this because it's not only true - but it's SHOCKINGLY true!
In the simulators - I've been sliced... shot... tackled... charged by unarmed little drunk women... Dude?!?! Do you shoot a drunk 5'2" 110 pound woman because she's charging you?? Does she have a knife? That last guy that was just breaking into a car did! And he sliced my throat! I shot him but he still sliced me up!
It's these eye opening experiences which have made me decide not to just buy a gun (the easy part) -- but to practice - to talk to professionals to learn - and to also acknowledge just how friggin' dangerous any seemingly harmless situation can go down. I'm taking the In-Sight tactical training course... and have taken a couple other local training courses. Not only are they kinda fun... it's just nice to be able to trust yourself... learn something... and frankly - when I do something - I like to be "decent" at it.
