Question, because I iz not a cop and don't even play one on TV.
If you're being presented with that "bad guy with a gun pointed" target, isn't the correct response to move and get to cover? I mean, shooting him is great and all, but not getting shot is even better.
Do you think you can move to safety FASTER than the bad guy with the drawn gun can pull the trigger?
What kind of flowers would you like me to send to your funeral?
