Â
It’s late and you are withdrawing money from a gas station ATM. You hear footsteps behind you and they stop short of where you stand. You feel uneasy but consider they are another customer waiting to withdraw.Â
Suddenly, you feel a tap on your shoulder and a voice directly asks “You got the time?” You turn around to see a man in a hoodie, looking at you then behind himself as if to see who is watching. “No, sorry man.” You respond as you turn back to your ATM session.
The hand that tapped your shoulder now grips it tightly and in a colder tone, the man asks “You got a wallet?” You can tell by the firmness of his hand and direct timber in his voice, he wasn’t asking a question.Â
You turn around again to see his other hand in his pocket, pointing something at you through it but obscured from the view of other customers. You see in the man’s eyes that he has a mission, and that mission is your cash…or your life. You are armed but he has the drop on you.Â
Are you trained to make a life-saving decision in this situation?Â
Have you considered all of the possible outcomes once you take action?Â
Will your training at the gun range prepare you for this moment?

Â
Most people who train with their firearms for protection never do so under stress or with social nuance.
