...It equally applies to civilians- shootings/fights are the only events in the world where the rank amateur and world class face the exact same task....
Yes and no. The reasons each is engaging are fundamentally different, and thus the legal standards by which they will be judged afterwards are dramatically different.
A soldier clearing a house in Mosul has a different legal duty and motivation and will be judged by a different legal standard than a person in a self-defense scenario in a mall parking lot. A LEO intervening and emptying a mag is yet again another legal standard, as the LEO will be protected by qualified immunity in most, but not all, states, while the citizen is not.
If the average citizen empties the mag on a G19 in the mall parking lot, then reloads and goes at it again, every single bullet better have a defensible explanation attached to it. That he is a USPSA GM and can shoot and reload really fast is not a defense.
Shoot/don't shoot training is as important as speed and accuracy training, and yet rarely undertaken by most civilians with CHL's.
Good videos, thanks for linking those and your other input. Much appreciated.
