Two dead and several wounded in NYC shooting outside Empire State Building

Everyone is forgetting one key factor the stress of a real life situation and the unpredictable movement factor of a real threat.

A person can be a crack shooter at a gun range but might be a horrible shot in a life or death situation.Even well trained soldiers can miss and for many reasons.I think
you could maybe do a crap load of calisthenics work up a heart rate something to get your blood flowing something to be making your breathing more labored anything to make
shooting as uncomfortable as possible that would be a better way to simulate the stress.

Many police have a special training program that simulates the types of firearm use situations a cop might encounter if a small PD in Florida has this training I am sure that the largest one in the country does as well.

I suppose the best training would be the reflexive shooting training.

All I can say is until you have been 10 feet away from a man with a gun and had to contended with shooting him and also trying not to hit anyone on one of the most crowded city streets in the country then you can have something to say.

You have a little to say if you have ever actually had to draw and fire on an attacking person period.I am betting that no one here has this experience.The closest I have come is shooting a boar and he did not know I was there until a 7.62x54mm bullet from a 91/30 went though his heart.I have done that many times sometimes with a different caliber.
