Have to ignore the "cold dead fingers" crowd here.
I'm serious. Advanced triple-tap convenience liquor store hold-up-cum-IPSC training just aren't modern or up to date.
What I suggest "Surviving unexpected dynamic entry by guys in ski-masks". It's specifically tailored to gunowners.
Many gunowners may respond incorrectly to having their doors kicked in. Let's face it, you looked around before you picked your house/neighborhood - probably a nice neighborhood with next to no chance of intruders. However, since you have guns in the house, we can safely assume you have a VERY GOOD chance of experiencing a dynamic entry at least once in your life.
The correct response, I would imagine, is to not look like you have a gun, stay still, and beg for mercy. Yet the "defense"-based trained response (grabbing your gun due to an intruder) - well, will leave you a 200 lb bleeding 9mm submachinegun bullet repository.
Defense/combat training is something we learn through repetitition, we plan in our minds over and over again, so that in dire stress we can remember what to do. Well, you need to train over and over again how to appear submissive and non-threatening, so in dire stress during a dynamic entry you don't spook any of the LEOs.
I mean, maybe you've prerehearsed/pre-though out how they'd unload their 5 ready-to-go magazines on the gang of heavily armed 300 pound crack-high bikers.
But who's planned and prerehearsed putting up their hands, lying face down on the floor, moving slowly and unthreatening during high stress, and having a loaded MP5 shoved in your face without relieving your bladder?
The first scenario is unlikely enough to be ludicrous. The second is far more likely, and far more dangerous. We train already to be prepared - is it not prudent to be prepared for this?
The closest thing we have to this is reports of how to be least intimidating to a police officer during a traffic stop (dome light on, hands on wheel, no sudden movements). This is really no different.
We could call it:
"Rapid Tactical Submissiveness" or something.
opinions?
