Nope, wrong again. A rock-and-pop barely clears the holster, so you're moving nine inches hand-to-grip, then rocking about five inches back with your wrist. No stance change involved, other than a very slight dip at the moment it becomes too late for the opponent. Few can do it right, but then again few are properly trained at that level, just like few are properly trained at your level. > Because if you're drawing your weapon your intentions are pretty obvious And if you're throwing a punch or a kick yours aren't? > I'm not dropping into a stance before I swing, I was trained to attack with > power from what ever position I happen to be in What's this "dropping into a stance" crap you keep referring to? Bad B-movie actors? Poorly-trained police officers? Ever seen a Weaver stance? The only thing "dropping" is the opponent. > I guess if you call US Air Force and the NRA , lack of training and > qualification. I would absolutely call the combination of US Air Force and NRA a lack of training, yes. Was she an officer? If not then she probably qualified on the M-16 slowfire at medium range-- no pistol (IIRC). It's the Air Force. And the NRA is mainly firearms safety and slowfire round target basics at short and medium range. Don't let the labels fool you. > Adam, have you ever been in a bar fight?

I have no earthly idea what I'd be doing fighting someone in a bar, or what such a fight would be over. Man, you martial arts types are a *violent* bunch, aren't you? I prefer the peaceful calming effect of the presence of a firearm. Also, if I were ever in a bar fight and arrested and convicted on any part of the charge then I wouldn't be able to have a concealed carry permit in Georgia, and I wouldn't be able to legally own fully automatic weapons on a Form 4 waiver, either. I don't intend to give up either of these privileges related to my 2nd Amendment rights. Another thing you learn in proper training: how to just walk away while the other guy is saying shit as you leave. They should teach you that, too. I thought they did. > I would hope that you exercise tremendous restraint when considering whether > to draw or not as I do when considering whether to engage.

I have, the guys going for their weapons were the first ones knocked out. Look, this is turning into a pissing contest, and that's normally not my M.O.

Why do you assume that someone drawing from a concealed carry is automatically telegraphing his moves, whereas you automatically are not? They are both smooth moves at their best, but there is substantially less movement involved in a "rock-and-pop" than there is propelling your hand or foot all...the...way...over...to...the...guy's...whatever. > I've seen plenty of police officers, and military personnel.

Yeah, and I saw a porn flick when I was eleven, but that didn't mean I knew anything at all about fornicating, much less how to do it well. And don't count on the police. They are some of the worst shots I've seen. *Very* nervous at the slightest thing, too, though I can't blame them. And your friend who "insists" is obviously unqualified based on the statements she's made, as are you. My money is on you and your lady friend pissing your pants like everyone else when Psycho Boy come's a-callin' with his Glock. It's one thing to talk brave after the fact; it's another to bring your balls to the fight when you're unarmed and a mass killer is not. These anticeptic scenarios you're coming up with have never and will never exist in the real world. Can you come up with that one single example I asked for earlier? I'm sticking with "It's never ever happened, and it never ever will" until someone proves me wrong.
