Gunfighting in Crowds

Description

Chances are not good that a concealed carrier will find him or herself the target of an armed robber or active shooter who is standing in front of a berm on a gun range. Anytime that a concealed carrier is targeted in a transitional area such as a parking lot, gas station, church sanctuary, or on a sidewalk there is a significant chance that an innocent third party is in view or in range of a shot that either missed or over-penetrated. The same may be true in a residence if the student lives with other family members in rooms separated by sheetrock walls.

Students will participate in exercises and drills that require them to quickly and accurately assess the immediate area around them and then move rapidly into a better position that mitigates the risk to others not only around the attacker but the area around and behind him or her (especially true when they are with family members or friends). Emphasis is placed upon situational awareness, site assessment, movement into a better position if necessary, short-range surgical shot placement, and even exploitation of attacker expectations and control of the vertical plane of shots fired when over-penetration represents a major threat to others in close proximity to the attacker. Also covered in this class are actions that may reduce the chance that the student is mistakenly engaged by other concealed carriers and responding law enforcement.
