I wouldn't have ever attended one of his classes. I just couldn't.
Yes, he is correct about misses would endanger innocent lives. That's one of those "duh" moments. For the main reason, nobody is perfect. That's why we practice so hard and so much so we do shoot true if God forbid we do ever have to.
But stress and adrenaline and "tunnel vision" and moving while taking fire is going to make it even more of a disadvantage for responders. Even if you were offered pick and choose shots, even in an ordinary situation you would not miss at, nothing is to say that you wouldn't when placed in that situation.
While we as affluent shooters don't like to admit the limitations of human physiology, it exists nonetheless.
If you have 1 round for each attacker, you're up shit creek. Life isn't a Hollywood movie. And even if you did pull off a miracle and actually hit each attacker with their designated bullet, it may take multiples to stop each attacker. So, for him to say how many rounds are you taking to miss with is counterintuitive to me and dim-witted as usual coming from him.
Also, no single person is likely to survive a shootout outnumbered 6 or 7 to 1 where they have to tactical advantage of picking and choosing their cover before you arrived on scene, which gives the bad guys an even further advantage.
Bad odds, and rushing to help, is going to be difficult to overcome at best.
One of the things that I always remembered after reading one of the more recent army tactics field manuals, the general rule of thumb is to keep sending men in until the threat is overcome and removed. In the end, threat is gone. But consider the cost. And that number may not include only responders either.
The raid at Entebbe is a prime example of human casualties are almost a certainty and countless others worldwide that I didn't mention. I don't like it. You don't like it. And neither does anyone else. But we both know that evil exists in this world my friend. And that's what evil does. Life isn't always going to be just peachy.
I truly hope that I haven't come across as a jerk or offended you. If I have, I'll apologize now because I never intended to do that. But his comments are just not seated in reality.
