Range time and training are imperative. The Garland officer’s quick reaction and accuracy kept himself and others from being murdered in the name of Islam.
An analysis of the events surrounding the heroic actions of a 60-year old veteran officer demonstrates the importance of proficiency with your weapon. Closing the distance on the Muslim attackers, he brought his sidearm, a .45 caliber Glock handgun, to battle beginning at 20 yards, closing to something like 7-10 yards, successfully, in less than 15 seconds against a Kel-Tec SUB-2000 rifle.
According to the manufacturer:
“The SUB-2000 has a greatly enhanced accuracy and extended range compared to a handgun. The superior precision is also very useful against small or partially covered targets at shorter range. The amount of training to master the SUB-2000 is only a fraction of that required for a handgun. MSRP $409”
Reading the specs for the rifle, you learn that this particular weapon has an effective range of 150 yards – presumably in the hands of someone more skilled than either of the two Muslim jihadists, Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi who are now burning in hell’s eternal fire.
So, two dolts have “superior firepower” and are smoked. What can we conclude from the engagement? Training made the difference. This is a fact. Humans must be trained to step towards a superior attacker when human nature says create distance.
