The sad fact is, few people are willing to invest in the time and expense it takes to truly master their carry gun. Its good enough for a certain percentage of situations. I always train for the worst case scenario, if it does not turn out that way cool.
This evil individual set his ambush up very well indeed. There are two ways the military trains in regards to ambushes, exit the kill zone and/or attack the ambush. Granted this was not a military maneuver but it was a well executed ambush. The shooter had a lot of advantages to be sure, depending on where you were in the theater, a well trained individual could have turned the tables. A small bright light is part of my EDC if I am going to be out and about in the dark.
Target identification is critical, we know this. Carry enough gun - Friends don't let friends carry mouse guns. I have found if I can carry a Keltec PF9 I can carry a J frame 357, If I can carry that I can carry my G27. But then again I can conceal most handguns, I am built like a lineman.
