I hear you, but observation goes right out the window when confronted with a gun for most people. I mean, I agree that all the things you mention could change how you respond. Alas, having the barrel of a gun pointed at you, usually limits your perception.

I'm not saying you can't, but I'd like to test this.

I teach a gun take away technique that is very effective. However, it doesn't work unless you get closer than 5 feet. We practice it by having the "bad guy" say "bang" as soon as the defender moves. I'm slow, but I haven't been shot yet and I've always gotten the gun. From 5 feet I think the defender would always get shot.

This is just a thought and I'm not "calling you out" or anything like that. I'd just like to work with you and learn. I'm always open to learning more.
