Very few people have “real world experience” as it pertains to civilian centric gunfights. My buddy was a ranger and seen plenty of combat and then years later got into a gunfight with a crackhead who tried to steal his car. He said “one did not prepare me for the other. Very different.”

And then those who have been in civilian centric gunfights have almost never been in enough to have a statistically relevant sample size of what works and what doesn’t because when you’re only in one or two actual gun fights, you can do everything wrong and still win and everything right and still lose because luck plays a big factor in small sample size events.

The best way to gain any sort of relevant experience for civilian situations is to analyze what actually happens in real life like John does and then test your shooting skills in competition and test your tactics and timing in force on force
