Dashcam Footage from Fatal Shooting of Officer Darian Jarrott
[ Editor’s note: Stops on major highways are very dangerous. There are usually no witnesses around, or anyone that can even hear the shots and know where they came from.
As Gordon can tell you, in a close distance shootout, especially with well trained people, whoever draws first wins 99% of the time. Survival rests not only on how quick your own draw is, but in spotting a giveaway sign that the other guy is about to pull so you get some adrenalin flowing.
And then there is the not inexpensive prep of bearing the cost of blowing through 500 rounds on the practice range regularly to keep your skills and confidence up that you have the speed, and the first shot will be on the mark so you are not rattled in a bad siuation.
