(2,383 posts)Although the video isn't subtitled so here's what I'm assuming is happening- they train the shooters, they arm the shooters and the shooters, rightly so, assume there will be a guy coming in with a gun. This situation is called a controlled experiment, EVERYONE knows there will be a guy with a gun coming in (why else is EVERYONE dressed similarly). They wanted to test the reaction time of the people who have concealed weapons against someone who bursts in.
They do a distraction experiment (talking about putting on gloves/masks/etc) and soon, the CCW person isn't thinking about the gun to protect themselves- they are paying attention to what is being said in class. When the guy bursts in, it shows they are wholly unprepared to defend themselves because they were engrossed in the lecture and when they quickly try to shoot the guy they get shot.
I'd say this closely reflects reality. How often are you thinking about "well I have a gun right here, I'm protected" compared to "What do we need for dinner tonight?" "What movie's being shown?" etc. You will get engrossed in the activity and you will not be prepared when someone actually comes in with a gun.
If you're saying it's biased, I'd say you're talking out of your butt.
