> Here in America I think most of those who carry a weapon would rather be responsible for their own safety than to cower, cry and wait for the police to come and draw a chalk outline around your corpse.

You’d get no argument from me: I share your viewpoint, and wish we had the same provisions for Right to Keep and Bear Arms in our laws.

I think there is some potential value in what ABC is doing: depending on the assumptions they build into their scenario it could provide some valuable insights into what could happen in that sort of shootout.

Experiential Learning is an excellent scenario-based tool: if this is what they are delivering it is likely to be of some considerable value..

What they did in their scenarios was to show that 2 people, the airsoft guy and the reporter, both of whom had NO experience handling firearms did not perform well in a staged scenario. I fail to see the value in this except for propaganda purposes.
