He wasn't expecting but due to his profession he had a plan for his family.
He initiate that plan, and quietly started a sensible evacuation and switched to a LEO.

He didn't take time to analysis fully the scenario, HE REACTED, according to training!

I CPL and I will not draw in any public situation unless the threat is DIRECTLY against me. I will assist in evacuation of the area, but an active shooter situation is a NO WIN situation, incoming LEO's are going neutralize/contain any person showing a firearm. After securing the area then they will figure out who is who. All they know is, no badge showing, ain't one of us!

Reloads are NEEDED adn don't even consider BOBBLING that important step.

I have done bowling pins at my club, with my J & K frames, and when it come to make ready for follow-up tables. I'm NOT looking at the piece to load but keeping my eyes on the pins and speed-loading by feel.

You can't do this, YOU have a PROBLEM.

the author is conveying actual info that is missing from ALL training classes.
LEARN FROM IT, and PRAY you never need it.
