You really believe that any random airplane passenger's opinion on whether to take off or not in bad weather is just as valid as the trained pilot's? All that training adds no value to his opinion on flight conditions? His qualifications as a pilot mean nothing?
We aren't talking about flying planes, etc.
We are talking about simple self defense techniques that have been around for decades, and no one here invented any of them
The "experts" are just repeating what someone told them, just like everyone else.
The facts aren't more valid if you paid someone to tell you, no matter what some like to imply
The Tueller "drill" was a simple demonstration of what
NOT to do if someone runs at you with a knife
It requires the shooter to stand still and try deploy the gun and not do anything else.
It was never meant to be a training excercise.
Repeating it is pointless, since it teaches you nothing that people haven't already known for decades.
Most every topic in this section of the forum turns into a ******* match because
half the people don't READ what anyone says, and so they go off on tangents (like airplane pilots and Drs) that have nothing to do with the actual topic, or even what was stated
You have proven my point quite well, because you didn't read
what I said either, even though you quoted it:

Some here think if you can't show a "certificate" from one of the "popular "classes, you can't possibly KNOW anything
Those certificates go to those who pay the fee, and don't shoot anyone else, or themselves, before the class is over.
The biggest screwup in the class gets the same certificate as the best
The
knowledgeitself (the only important part) is no different than what people can learn through other means, without paying lots of money.
I was practicing fast draw/ rapid fire drills 20 years before Teuller played his little game
