Interesting article from the FBI, especially in light of the thread about the guy getting made in Orlando.

someone on another forum at disneyworld told their story about getting caught ccwing. He had a t-shirt covering a glock 23 that he kept shifting around getting on and off rides.

Did anyone else read the edged weapon section and notice this little tidbit?

Almost all of the research on edged-weapon assaults has come from Great Britain where, due to their stringent gun laws, attacks most likely occur with an edged weapon, rather than a firearm.

Yep - The old 21 ft zone just got bigger. 30 feet - Are knife attackers bigger now?
Feeling more vulnerable than before?
Seems as though fast and accurate to the spine or head, or its a tie and both die. ouch..

Here's a link to an interesting article on that very subject.

One thing this points out is the necessity to shoot and move out of the line of the attack. Don't stand still.

There is one trait that is common amongst ALL armed individuals.










They all have weapons!
(And I didn't need a lengthy study to figure that out!)

This is a good reason to always leave an escape route (although rarely practical). If you know your back is clear, you can back up while drawing your weapon, which "should" provide you with the additional feet and time needed.

I imagine a trail of spent casings as you retreat would also help you in the resulting investigation and trial (maybe not criminal, but likely civil).

Unfortunately, unless you are French Military, most organizations train you to fire on the advance, not retreat.

Yes, but this would still be applicable to the citizen CCW. We don't advance on the threat.

I don't think the French Military traines to fire on the retreat, that's why used French Military weapons are so expensive, "never" been fired and only dropped once.
