THUGS don't TRAIN

Most bad guys don't expect for you to be armed, and the truth is most of them have very little serious gun experience or training. So, they are scared and using the piece just for scare tatics. However, anybody that frequents this sight will probably never think twice about squeezing. It's a bad world we live in and it is not getting better.
As a former State of Florida Probation and Parole Officer, I have a bit of experience in dealing with BG's on a personal level. I talked to them everyday and quite often was able to lure them into discussions that dealt with their ummmm
business. They were almost always eager to brag, until they remembered the fact that I was their P.O. and that meant they'd been busted.
Almost always at the street thug level (not speaking of pro ripoff artists here!) they see themselves as predators. Ultimate badasses whom none of the sheep would dare challenge. They think the cops will have to at least make the attempt to arrest them and they'll go along quietly...because a little rest time in the graybar hotel is the cost of doing business, right? Three hots and a cot is the way they look at the prospect. When Florida passed it's CCW Laws, many got quite nervous. That's an understatement. Witness the fact that in the first year after it's passage, violent crime in this state dropped 24% while it rose in other parts of the country.
Thugs don't train. Sometimes.....rarely....the pro's train. Not usually formally, but you'd have to think that prisons are the ultimate mutual training ground. I've seen prison videos taken from concealed cameras that show convicts teaching each other disarm techniques to use on cops. But those are the hardened pros. Punks are too stupid. I know, I see them in my classroom every day.
