ABSTRACT
In real life, most shots fired by police at combat distances are, in fact, fired instinctively. Put yourself in the position of just arriving at the scene of an armed robbery. You are instructed to search the area, and during this probe of the probable escape route, you surprise a subject who fits the description of the perpetrator. Your training, coupled with your instincts, tells you to draw your weapon, take a two-hand hold, and point it at the suspect, while issuing a command such as “don’t move” or “freeze.”
