Another good article from the sheriff, the importance of force on force training. Good read and information.

…good one. I liked that last part about the convenience store customer that had the sense to duck n run - how many of us consciously look for exits, bolt holes, etc when we go into a place? Or , for us non-carriers, a quick scan for something to grab and hit with, or something to topple over onto someone , or maybe make a crashing distraction with ?
Sheriff didn’t say it but… Situational Awareness, gun or no gun.

Good FOF classes are hard to find ( around here anyway) and damned expensive. Occasionally I have done some live scenario ( FOF) stuff with the jarheads and paintball guns, but they only do that when they feel accommodating. I suppose it's more anti-climatic to them than it is to me. I bribe them with copious amounts of alcohol.

When I was finishing my last semester for my Nursing License, we went through a similar situation. We were told to go into a room and deal with whatever we saw. It could be a heart attack, a pregnant woman going into labor along with her husband who fainted at the same time. Several different scenarios And a lot of stress, but very valuable. An excellent training tool. Thanks for sharing.

I did Simunitions training...well, quite some time ago. It was eye opening.

And painful, particularly on the knuckles...where there are a surprising amount of hits.

The biggest takeaway I got:

MOVE.

Moving targets are a lot harder to hit than stationary.

Yes indeed. Move and find cover if possible.
