Twenty years ago, I took my first concealed carry class and later Defensive Pistol from Urban Firearms Institute in Mesa, AZ. Shoot/No Shoot on a simulator was part of both classes. It was very eye opening the responses.Charles L. Cotton wrote:...
The officer saying "show me your hands" is not at all surprising. This is a phrase that is drilled into every cadet in the police academy. Under stress, it easy to revert back to training even when issuing verbal commands. I won't mention the agency but a cadet doing computerized shoot-no-shoot drills that were video recorded faced a scenario with a man holding a baby and a knife while threatening to kill the baby. The cadet held his gun on the man and repeated screamed "drop the baby, drop the baby." When the scenario was over, he wouldn't believe he said that until he watched the video.
Higher order thinking along with fine motor skills melt away when the physiological responses of "fight-or-flight" take over. These facts are stressed in tactical training and it's something every gun owner needs to understand, study and train.
