Stan:
There is no training that encompasses every possible scenario.
I would say a person with excellent situational awareness based on these types of circumstances will probably make a better decision faster and even execute the decision he made well enough for him to succeed.
A person with poor SA will probably use poor input which will result in a bad decision or no decision at all. He may live through it but only due to luck.
No, you can't really train someone to be situationally aware in environments where there is no control, such as your scenario. You can do a decent job in closed environments such as airplane cockpits. In fact, it was the airline industry that coined the term 'Situational Awareness' I believe. Police use simulators, role players, etc but these are deliberately 'programmed' to emphasize very generic cues.
Bottom line is this. No one knows.
A note to everyone out there.
If you want to comment on how you were trained, your SA, the cues you look for -- please do so.
If you want to argue with Stan over whether or not the public as a whole should be allowed to carry firearms, go back to the Second Amendment forum and do so there.
