That is where a little tactical and self defense training and thinking on your feet (or in this case butt) comes into play.
Very correct. They did nothing because that is what they had traind themselves to do. Nothing
I tell my students when the adrenaline dumps you will not "rise to the occasion." You will immediately be reduced to you your every day level of constant training. If you have trained yourself to do nothing that is exactly what you will do. Nothing.
I agree with the do nothing and assess the situation. Sunday i was in situation that pitted 50 plus men against an outsider that was clearly off his meds. he was unarmed....however no one knew that at the time. some jumped up immediately to verbally confront the outsider....to no avail.
while some of us clearly let our training stand in for the flight or fight response. we uncollectivley took account of the situation and then without knowing what each other would do, we acted collectively to oust this person from our midst, with no harm from him or to our selves
what i find amazing in the panama city shooting was the rounds that were put into the man with gun, seemed to now do any immediate damage
9mm hollow points i would think would have taken him off his legs, since it showed two leg shots i think. do we know what type of weapon the guards had that shot him?
oh one more tidbit the man with gun, didnt have trigger control, he let off a round from nervy fingers after he shot at the guy behind the table
