content: That was just one of many example scenarios these guys presented - and there are plenty of options for receiving diverse training.  I wish I could have covered more.  They did literally hours of different scenarios simulating different approaches - including a drawn gun moving in behind a victim, as shown briefly at the end of the segment.  They also displayed hand to hand and knife attacks in various scenarios as well. Nothing is 100% guaranteed in any such situation, but being prepared and drilling as many different possibilities as one can imagine will definitely give a higher percentage chance of survival than doing nothing, not to mention the possibility of taking the assailant out and preventing further loss of life.  Remember the active shooter situation when Gabrielle Giffords was shot in Tucson, AZ? That shooter was taken out by an unarmed civilian who saw an opportunity and moved fast and with force to disarm the assailant.  Also look at some of the security camera footage from these armed robberies, just how close these assailants get to the victims, as if they feel like pushing their gun right in someone's face is somehow more powerful. The one video of the tow truck driver who got shot is another perfect example - the victim knocked the gunman's gun hand away two or three times before he got shot, but didn't know that with a method like this he could have taken the gun and turned the tables. Thanks for commenting! :)
