I really wonder how many of the people teaching about concealed carry have any law enforcement experience. I had various jobs over 36 years that involved carrying a handgun. I never had to do a fast draw. I reality I think too many people have watch too many "Hollywood" shootouts.
Ah... one can watch many, many security videos on you tube of actual engagements, and very often... I'd even say most of the time for sudden engagements, the time between the threat and first shot (from either direction) is very short. My goal would be to win that contest. So, I think it is an inaccurate stereotyping that the need to be able to respond quickly in a sudden panic situation is from watching movies. It may be for some. But not me.
(BTW, I've been mugged, and I've been accosted in other ways, it goes down in seconds)
Here's an interesting story told by this Vietnam vet and long term defense instructor. Although I don't agree with his politics (he's done many vids on many subjects), he's clearly experienced and was in a live shooting in Kansas.

Again, to each his/her own. There is a 99.99999999% chance I will never draw my weapon.
