Research Reveals the Most Common SHTF Concealed Carry Mistake Concealed Carry Must-Know: Even Trained Police Officers Are Making This Mistake. Recent data has revealed the number one fatal mistake police officers make when faced with an armed assailant. From data, years of research, and analysis, we can draw several conclusions that can help improve your concealed carry training. Understanding the biggest mistake officers make when faced with real-world threats can help anyone who plans to carry concealed protect themselves. Applying the principles you’re about to learn during concealed carry training can effectively increase your odds of coming out on top in life or death situations.
Fact: Research Proves Why You Shouldn’t Train Like a Police Officer A recent nationwide study of police departments has revealed the number one fatal mistake departments are making a mistake you should never replicate in your own concealed carry training. Many departments around the country train police officers to respond to a threat by firing from cover . The “gold standard” is to seek cover behind your car or obstacle. This Type of “Shoot from Cover” Training Makes You a Stationary Target and data is proving that most armed assailants are better at hitting a target that’s not moving.
Inexperienced gun handlers (and most criminals) do not aim for center of mass. It turns out that in the majority of real-world shooting situations involving armed suspects and police, armed suspects aim for the head and neck area. When you’re not moving, your head becomes easier to hit . As a result, many police departments are adapting their training to this new data, teaching officers to move laterally and making it more difficult for armed assailants to make a well placed shot. Now, more and more concealed carry courses are starting to follow this training example, teaching pistol permit holders to fire on the move. Here’s Another Concealed Carry Consideration: Hitting a Moving Target Takes Training One consideration you have to make when learning to defend yourself is that most armed assailants are not expert marksman. If you encounter a criminal with a gun, there’s a good chance that you have more experience, range time, and tactical practice. Combine this with the fact that learning to hit a target that’s moving laterally is a learned skill, and you certainly have an advantage. But only if you keep moving yourself! How Do You Incorporate These Lessons Into Concealed Carry Training?
Many ranges require you to “stay in your lane” and do not offer tactical shoots where you are allowed to fire on the move. In fact, even many tactical training sessions you’ll find at your local range involve moving between cover locations and firing from behind cover. To practice shooting on the move in concealed carry scenarios, you need to be creative because you’ll often be unable to fire on the move at your local range. Here’s How to Practice Firing on the Move Dry fire exercises are the best place to start, especially if your only opportunity to practice concealed carry technique is at the range. Using your unloaded pistol, practice at home, making aiming while moving instinctual.No, it’s not the same as the real thing. But when it comes time to defend yourself, it’s important to make “keep moving” your first instinct after an efficient draw and quick aim. There are many concealed carry courses around the country that offer tactical shooting scenarios. Ask the team at your local range if they are aware of local instructors who provide on the move training. And remember, even though many tactical instructors teach firing from a stationary position, research shows that keeping on the move may be your best chance to defend yourself.
