Strange CCW Gun Instructor Quotes:

Cops carry guns to protect themselves, not to protect you.

Never let someone or thing that threatens you get inside arm's length and never say "I've got a gun". If you feel you need to use deadly force for heaven's sake let the "first sound they hear be the safety clicking off", and they shouldn't have time to hear anything after that if you are doing your job.

'The average response time of a 911 call is over 23 minutes. the response time of a .44 magnum is 1400 feet per second.'

"The most important rule in a gunfight is: Always win and cheat if necessary."

"Don't forget, incoming fire has the right of way.."

"Make your attacker advance through a wall of bullets. You may get killed with your own gun, but he'll have to beat you to death with it, cause it's going to be empty."

"If you're not shooting', you should be loading'. If you're not loading', you should be moving', if you're not moving', someone's going to cut your head off and put it on a stick."

"When you reload in low light encounters, don't put your flashlight in your back pocket.. If you light yourself up, you'll look like an angel or the tooth fairy... and you're going to be one of 'em pretty soon."

"Do something. It may be wrong, but do something."


aint it the truth.....
 
I was curious about the 911 response time quote so when I googled it, I found this forum, complete with sheep and "shotgun rackers".
http://www.city-data.com/forum/poli...what-average-police-response-time-should.html

Best quote on that thread, and not surprisingly from someone from NH:
There are plenty of 911 recordings of people talking with the 911 operator while someone is breaking into their home. They usually end with the gun shots that murder the caller while still on the phone. If not, there probably wasn't any real danger anyway.

For me, when the consequences are simply too much (me or my family being hurt or murdered), then I make sure those consequences are as unlikely as possible. Being memorialized on one of those 911 tapes doesn't cut it for me
 
The range master at S&W told everyone watching the safety video that "the pointy end is the shooty end and to make sure its always facing downrage".
 
Explaining why to take a head shot after the 1st two to the body don't end the threat:

"So why do more of the same? If he's got a trauma plate you can shoot him with a 308 and he'll get back up. You could shoot him again, watch him fall and get up and shoot him again. And I'm not saying that wouldn't be fun, but what are his friends doing while you're playing wackamole and laughing?

Really sage Intarweb advice there.

All operating operators know:
Stop moving while you reload.

After all,
you can't walk and chew gum at the same time.
How the hell can anyone be expected to reload on the move?

MOVE

There are a lot of reasons to move. Creating
distance from the threat (or threats) greatly reduces
the chance of being injured, regardless of the type
weapon being used against you. There are bystanders
in the environment, so you're moving in order
to get a clear angle of attack on the threat,
reducing the possibility of injuring someone if you have
errant rounds. You move to get to cover and the
protection it provides. You move to the exit, toward
your family or to get to better cover.

A moving target - you - is more difficult for the
threat to engage. Moving is one of the best ways
to put the threat into a reactive mode. The threat
charges at you. You move a few steps to the side.
Now he has to react to your actions, assessing,
creating a response, and redirecting the attack.

Chapter 17
Moving​
As discussed previously, one of the fundamental
responses to a threat should be movement.
... Initially you're reacting
because the threat started the confrontation.
Movement puts the threat into a reactive mode. There are
a lot of reasons to move. ...​

In NZ it's 36 minutes

Graham Combat Killhouse Rules
1. Nobody is coming to save you.
2. Everything is your responsibility.
3. Save who needs to be saved.
4. Kill who needs to be killed.
5. Always be working.

The photo from that article is on my office wall and on the wall in front of my reloading bench.
There's nothing more important to realize than "Nobody is coming to save you".
The latest rampage in New Zealand showed people huddled there, just hoping they wouldn't be victims.
And they died in place.
