1) Use trained Tactical Officer as bad guy vs untrained CHL. More realistic would be an untrained person with mental issues.
2) Put CHL in 4th Cube or same chair in each scenario.More realistic would be to let him choose wear to be.
3) Make sure CHL is only one wearing gun, so it is easdy for bad guy to pick him out.More realistic would be everyone wears a helmet.
4) Allow bad guy to wear Vest, to further discount any hits CHL might make.More realistic would be no vest.
5) When open carry is used, make sure it is fully exposed as soon as someone walks in door.More realistic would be random seat and allow him to use body to block view from door.
I am actually shocked the CHLS did so well.
I had some similar thoughts. Most important was their choice of bad guy as a trained tactical officer. Of course this doesn't simulate real life either because the CHLers knew something was going to happen and had time to think about it. I don't think it was a fair test at all, but at least they didn't say anything negative about even having a CHL. I'm glad they did pretty good. In any case, if I owned that business I would want to have any of those good guys armed vs. unarmed.
