I can't help but be reminded of the comedian Mike Armstrong, a former Louisville copper who I saw at a club in Indy, who did a "quick peek" into a closet, saw the BG pointed a revolver at him. Mike fired one shot which hit the BG in the trigger finger, detaching it and sending it through the air into Mike's pocket.

FWIW, I've seen the "quick peek" fail to detect full-sized adult males in very confined spaces (closets, behind frigs, etc.), albeit in training/simulation. I think sometimes you can look without seeing.
