My visit to the home of the National Tactical Invatational

[BullfrogKen]

I had a go signal. One of my accomplices gave it. It was the same for each participant. You just weren't aware of it.

But if anything, the role players were probably more aggressive, fearless, and coordinated than what I image real attackers would be.

Well, it's a common misconception that criminals are stupid, unable to coordinate, and will back down when told, "I don't have my wallet with me."

Those who chose to prey on society are crafty, brazen, and simply good at it.

I've seen some really damn aggressive, fearless criminals that were just plain good as a result of having done it for so many years that they've formed simple, yet ingenious plans.


netw0rkpenguin,

We've seen all sorts of inert sprays before. We really don't even want to use water in there. With the pushing and struggling that often goes on in there, people trip and fall even on a dry floor. Creating a wet floor during all that commotion is a recipe for serious injury. Just announce you sprayed a role player, and he will respond accordingly.

I made it out today. The training was exactly as described in this thread, and definitely gave me much to think about. I absolutely plan to attend again.

I made it out today too. Were you one of the guys waiting around while the L house/shoot house was being set up?

[gnbrotz]

Yeah - I left briefly when the rain started, then came back with a jacket. I ran the house 6th - and managed to get COMPLETELY soaked doing it.

Were you there with a friend who lives in NJ?

It rained like hell today.

When I got back home I discovered we had a tornado warning in effect for the area.
