This post isn't meant to challenge the importance of "The Rules" when it comes to range work, hunting, etc.... However, in a real world situation, there isn't necessarily a safe muzzle direction, or non-threats may cross your line of fire. I was talking to a friend who is on a local PD's SRT and he did mention that a lot of times other officers legs will get swept during room clearing and other close quarter scenarios. Thoughts? It would be nice if we could use this thread to discuss the differences in weapons handling and techniques that apply to more real world situations.
