Okay so you presume the situation that is already way out of hand. And it’s way easier than with a club. Or defenseless.

No, I don’t. That’s not ‘way out of hand’, that’s a completely normal home defense scenario. Please calm down, you’re not making any sense.

POST includes stress tests and shoot/no shoot training and practice. Usually that a variety of threats via video projected onto a screen at the range. The screen or equipment reads where your shots hit. The instructor can tell you if you were right to shoot or not in a safe environment.

Yes, and I don’t think that’s an adequate test, because its’ a very, very controlled environment.

I think you under rate police training. Anyone including HRT or SWAT guys can get surprised and lose the confrontation. At 2;00am. So good alarms, locks, and doors help prevent that and moderate the scenario in a way that buys the homeowner time to get the gun call for backup, er I mean the police.

Again, the police have partners and work in teams. Comparing the police to someone defending themselves at home is a terrible comparison.

So are you proposing that people who have guns at homes should also have to demonstrate they have good alarms and locks to be allowed to own the gun?

Ask your cop friends if they feel their training is so inadequate they must not go for their gun at home if confronted with violence.

My SWAT friend, being trained for crisis shooting, would feel comfortable. Another cop friend of mine has a wee bit of a drinking problem, not an alcoholic but generally gets pretty liquored up, so he leaves his weapon locked in his car. Another cop friend of mine, a horse patrol guy,says that the stupidest thing you can do is try to confront an intruder, and would just go out the back while calling the cops. He also thinks that cops need a hell of a lot more training than they currently get, and feels the shooting standards of cops have been dropping abysmally since he joined the force. Another cop friend of mine works in the records department and barely managed to requalify last year, and the requalification is straight up shooting, not a crisis test. I doubt he’d be confident in his abilities at 2:00 AM.

What do I mean by real world? What I see with my own eyes. What does it mean to you?

Dude, please calm down. You were doing pretty well but you’re completely flipping out now and you’re really hurting your own case.

This is where it gets weird-You don’t know what I mean by getting after the gangs, and you have a different view of how to deal with their practiced killers. Well at least I can find the second half reasonable.

Let me make myself absolutely clear. If you go out and arrest every member of a gang, every single person in it, they will be replaced within a month.

I’m, yet again, disappointed that you’re contemptuously bailing out yet again and refusing to explain yourself, or answer completely straightforward questions.
