I'm really liberal (though I was called a neoliberal by a Bernie voter) - and I wish someone shot him. Was just reading this, though.

I'm surprised the tueller drill hasn't been mentioned in this discussion. A knife wielding attacker can cover approximately 21 feet in 1.5 seconds. If you're defending yourself or another person from this attacker, you had better 1) be resolute in your action 2) act quickly 3) don't miss. I honestly question the ability of the average pistol owner to make a lethal shot on an advancing attacker with a head full of adrenaline.

I was waiting for someone to bring that up. That was an integral part of my CCW permit training.

I doubt this guy will ever see the outside of a jail cell.

No, no, no - there's no need for your silly calculations. There can also be no accommodation made for adrenaline and fear....everyone with a CCW will be a perfect calm shooter no matter the situation. It will always be "too bad" they weren't there when "whatever" happened.

The difference here would be that someone would approach with gun drawn and aimed prior to saying anything. That 1.5 seconds would not need to account for drawing a concealed gun. However, point taken. 1-3 are right on. Once aimed you have to be certain and be prepared to fire.

Often posted at ranges, and it's on my Evernote! ;-)
How often do you practice shooting?

You should probably clarify based on what your goal for the question is.

Shooting is one thing. Practicing shooting from concealed carry is another and totally different.

I have never done the latter. I'm relatively new to handguns and recently applied for the CC class at the Wake county range. The thought of drawing and shooting from CC really has me thinking of the preparation involved to consider doing so. Standing and shooting at the range is no problem.
