Some excellent questions....
There are a couple of schools of thought on "verbalization." One is that in law
enforcement type scenarios, the LEO is required to try to apprehend the suspect, and allow him to surrender, if that is his desire. Obviously it would be suicidal to wait too long for this decision to be made.
The other is that in individual CCW scenarios, we are "creating witnesses" by screaming "drop your gun! Don't make me shoot you!" etc. Bystanders can then say, "Yeah they shooter told the guy to drop his gun, and when he didn't, he shot him!"
On shooting stationary paper targets, even in scenarios, you're largely correct that it's nowhere near the same thing, but, as Shorts has pointed out, we have to learn to handle the firearm first. We start on a stationary square range, then move to paper targets in "shoot houses" and finally graduate to force-on-force training with simunitions, airsoft, etc, against living thinking bad guy role players.
Keep thinking! Your mind is your primary weapon!
