Sheepdog Tip of the Day, During Combat tip 236
Law-enforcement personnel have told us of a mental program they use. It's exactly like a mental program should be: simple and to the point. They're trained that when they engage a bad guy, they are to fire two shots (commonly called "double tap"), scan for any other threats, and then advance to cover or disarm and take control of the situation. When reduced to its simplest form, the mental program becomes, "Tap, tap, scan, advance."
