Re: Armed Citizen With Gun Does Nothing
I'm still shocked that the NY Times actually put a positive spin on this.

Re: Armed Citizen With Gun Does Nothing
Are you trained by a professional or someone in house?
It is possible that current standards are changing with the proliferation of body armor.
But I have never heard of training security guards for head shots.
Police don't shoot to kill, they shoot to stop a threat.
If the threat dies while being stopped that's ok, but the goal is only to stop them.
A follow up shot to the head could be interpreted as murder if the target has no armor or other factors that make a head shot necessary.
I'm not saying it's bad to train for multiple situations, but this is highly unusual for minimally trained people.
The 2 and 1 shooting is usually associated with anti terror guys and other specialized people that train constantly.
You may want to clarify your training and related legalities.How can you have any cookies if you don't drink your milk?

Re: Armed Citizen With Gun Does Nothing
No, the failure drill really is a thing. Two shots center-of-mass, and then if that didn't stop the threat (body armor, for example), one to the head. I'll bet there's a lot of crossover between LEO and Act 235 firearms training - the Act 235 trainer also being a LEO trainer, or being current or former LEO himself. There shouldn't be much if any difference between LEO, Act 235 and civilian training anyway.

Re: Armed Citizen With Gun Does Nothing
Been trained by both people that are in house ex-police and MOPETC trainers. Most the time it's just the standard ACT-235 qualification style shooting, sometimes they have us do failure drills. I also don't work at a mail riding on of those sweet Segway's, I get to fly a desk in a semi-government building.
