On Being John McClane

JASmith Wrote:This and the previous post nicely encapsulate my view of how situational awareness morphs into the actual firefight:
  • Stay out of sight, deploy weapon only when one is pretty sure of situation, use the firearm, and then put it away!


  • Continue observation and react accordingly if another bad guy shows.


  • Prepare for rather direct action by law enforcement when they enter the scene. That is one very good reason for your weapon to be out of sight and your hands visible even before they arrive.

+1.

If multiple CCW's are in the same environment as the situation deteriorates, they will have similar intel and might or might not come to similar conclusions. The more worrisome detail is being in the act of confronting or neutralizing the active shooter(s) when LE arrives on scene. I don't think anyone will disagree when I say that they will show up amped up, guns drawn and looking at every weapon they see as being in the hands of the bad guy.
