Just my thought. I am not a trained "gunfighter" but I have my CWP thus I have to put thought to this subject.

The Army ( in ancient days lol ) taught me cover and concealment first.

The only time I was surprised by brandished weapons, that's what kicked in.

Was walking out of a sandwich shop when in a flash cars speed into the parking lot in front of the shop . Unmarked cars and undercover officers took down drug dealers just two vehicles in front of me.

All I saw -- was folks flashing guns and yelling. I immediately ducked down behind the closest car as my friend just stood there until I yelled at him.

It could have gone badly with rounds flying about.

If it was a different situation and I had to defend myself, I would have had cover. If I stood and drew - well they other guys had their guns out first.

I would not want to be poky drawing but -- chances are you could be drawing from a difficult prone position ect,

So many variables.

If I shot and trained competitively with a pistol, I don't believe I would have automatically became a robot and stood there and shot for time.

Still woulda ducked lol!

I kinda like my cover and concealment habit.

As a civilian, I don't see a stand up fast draw high noon gunfight happening to me.
