Inside CCW Safe Podcast-Episode 40: Lessons Learned From A Police Shooting

Listen to the “Inside CCW Safe” Podcast

Episode 40: Lessons Learned From A Police Shooting

In this podcast, Stan continues to interview Mike about his shooting.  Mike was involved in a shooting as a police officer, and was later sued in federal court, which was the foundation of the creation of CCW Safe.  The lawsuit was kicked out at summary judgement, but that experience is what later led to the creation of CCW Safe.  

Mike talks about some key learning points that came out of his shooting.  One was training, which we all fall back on during critical stress incidents.  It’s imperative to continue training in various ways if you are going to carry concealed.  Another was knowing what to expect in terms of the physiological effects that your body and mind may encounter.  Some of these effects may be tunnel vision, auditory exclusion, intense second guessing, temporary memory loss, and temporary loss of motor skills. 

This is a great podcast that can help prepare you if you are ever put into a situation where you have to defend yourself with deadly force.
