Bad News: Some Criminals May Have More Firearms Training Than You

[dan512]

Good thoughts. Again, it just shows that “having” a gun is not a magic wand of protection. Turns out you need to be good with it too, and even then, that is no guarantee.

I take it as a fact that if someone is trying to hurt me they are more aggressive, more acquainted with violence, and less concerned about the consequences than I am. Therefore, the only chance I have to be successful in the encounter is to retake the initiative of the encounter. You know, disrupt their OODA loop; get ahead of the power curve. The only way I can see of doing that is what has been discussed here earlier… be aggressive and go dirty early.
