“Bullets do funny things when they hit meat, and there is a big difference between pumpers and switches”- Jared Reston
Do wholesome things with smart good people. Don’t drink, road rage or do drugs. Don’t be afraid to deescalate. Then stay very vigilant and always be ready.
As my Grandfather said, "Luck is where preparation meets opportunity." The more prepared you are, hopefully the less luck you'll need!
The real fight for your life happens after you win the gun fight.
Luckily it was my step daughter who forgot to shut the front door on her way to school. I can home early and front door was wide open, I cleared the yard first then moved thru the front door. It’s stressful thinking you might be encountering, a bad guy, any second with pistol in hand
Luck is great but you can't train with luck. Don't get me wrong I want to be lucky but I can only prepare with things I can train for.
I'd rather have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. I carry a lot of 💩in my pockets on top of 35 rounds of 124 grain Speer Gold Dots of 9mm in a Glock 19 gen 5. People think I'm paranoid but I believe I'm prepared.
And wrap Bonus Point #2 all the way back around to the Bersa 380 carriers with no backup mag. 6 rounds if 380 or 38 vs someone cocked in bath salts and poor life choices. Ugh.
What!? You mean I can’t just watch John Wick, a few Jason Statham movies, strap a gun on and be ready to go? In all seriousness though, as silly as it may seem, I found VR shooting games like Pavlov can really help shine light on how you may react in a real gunfight. Although it’s just a game, it still comes down to having at least Weapon platform knowledge, speed, skill, and accuracy, and how proficient you are at all of those in a “stressful” you or them scenario. It’s no replacement for real training and range time, but it definitely helps. If you cant manage in a simulated gunfight, imagine how you’d be with a real gun being pointed and/or shot at you. And it does help with situational awareness. You have to look around, pay attention, think before you just run out, your looking for a safe cover, listening intently to the sounds around you, making split second decisions, trying to get them before they get you, trying to stay accurate. And the adrenaline you get in VR can be intense. You get tunnel vision and everything they way it tricks your brain into suspending reality and accepting it as the new real. I’ve done it and have seem improvement my my motor functions and stuff. In VR you have unlimited second chances and can reflect on your actions and practices that for real life and run drills in real life at the range or whatever or during dry fire, draw, target acquisition training, or whatever. And I’m no expert, I’m just saying how VR has helped me and has shown me my weaknesses and what would have actually gotten me killed in real life, or what would have left me mortality wounded, incapacitated, or whatever. It made me think differently about a lot of things. And I play games on hard difficulty where I cant take 50 rounds snd heal. I get hit, im done. Also, I play games other than Pavlov in terms of shooters, but my point is, i use those as ways to see where I need to improve if I were to ever be in some terrible fight for my life. So I mix real and virtual training lol and obviously video games isn’t a one to one thing, but it can help improve some basics and muscle memory and to help you focus more and think a bit more critically in a race of that nature. And even playing those games, you can tell who’s actually skilled. It’s not a few keyboard and mouse clicks, your body is the controller basically lol you are the character through and through. If you dont know to load a gun and chamber a round, know about safety and select fire opinions for multiple platforms, dont know how to aim rifles and/or pistols, dont know your dominant eye, the difference in calibers, recoil….you wont have fun in those games, and if you already have no fundamental gun skills…yeah…those games will show you how much you dont know. If youre like us, you’re going in with a massive advantage. Same as real life. Except when you die in VR you can just take the headset off and go about your life lol sorry for the mini novel, but I wish more people would see the potential benefits of VR shooting simulators, even just the shooting range ones. You can still learn the basics of aiming, sight alignment, etc at different ranges in a safe environment without real guns, no chances of an ND. And then you can translate that when you can get to the real range. You can safely play with different guns, learn the manual of arms for them, some of them teach you how to disassemble, clean, and put back together the guns just like in real life. I see some real benefits in that for all of us whether we’re new to guns or not so new to them. I know it’s still a niche thing and pricey to get into, but I think it’s worth it. I dont think LEO’s and Military would use VR simulations if there was no benefit.
A big uncomfortable truth ive seen a few times is that no matter how much you prepare, unexpected things happen that youre not prepared for

3 stops in a gun fight;
I have saved myself a world of hurt through situational awareness! Countless times in LEO world, seeing what could go down before it occurred! Murphy is real and luck is great!!
The advice you gave in this video is very solid. I've used my edc 3x in 30 years to thwart robberies of my person. Never had to fire it. Saw the threat and reacted. Each time the only other person who saw my firearm was the bad guy. Each time they took off. Never had to fire it. Situational awareness gave me that extra second to develop a plan. Best outcome. And yes, I was lucky. First two, I carried a J frame. The last one was a Ruger LCP II in 22 lr. These events evolve rapidly. You are also correct that some people don't care if you are armed. This also happened to me but I didn't include the events in this post.
Here is a true story: I am a vet from the 80s and 90s. I had a lot of training (more than most) on the M16. Never fired a pistol until around 2009. Never had any training on it either. I finally decided to go to the range with a very old CZ. It took a bit to get used to the sites but I got it in one day. I got my carry permit and in that process was given some tips on how to train to practice drawing and aiming. I left the country for 8 years then came back in 2020 so no shooting during that time. That is the background.
Wow, over 18k now on board. I remember those 3500 days not long ago. Nicely done.
Roommates in college with a guy who worked Intel in Gulf War Part 2...he was the translator and was present during waterboarding and all that other crap they don't like to admit they did, do remember.
You will not realize how many rounds you shoot, auditory exclusion will happen you might not hear what’s going on around you..
