Mike, I always appreciate your honest approach to these debriefs. There are so many EPs coming out of the forest now. As for the female agent, I didn’t know that there was a lot of people criticizing that she could not put her gun in the holster. Most of these people criticizing have never had their client shot. That obviously induces a significant stress factor. Also, the instructors at Gunsite will tell you to look at your holster. When I took a class with Mike Glover, he also told us to look at your holster. But you are right…. when I started off, looking at your holster was taboo, and the instructors expected you to look for more threats with your gun out. Obviously there’s a point of time when there is no more threats and that is when the instructors still encourage you to look for more threats that are not there. I actually USED to teach that!
@@crimbullet I try to give people the benefit of the doubt - as I said, you can only introduce adrenaline and stress to a certain degree in training, the full brunt will never be experienced unless it all goes to hell, and THAT’S something you hope to god you never experience - unfortunately, this detail did indeed get that full brunt and “their dose” of full adrenaline.
