The element of surprise might save your life! When I took my CC class one of the attendees had asked how someone being car jacked at gunpoint could have any chance of defense having to draw and fire. The officer doing the training shared the statistic that the element of surprise gives you a 0.9 second advantage. The perp has to analyze the situation of you drawing on him and formulate his response. He said that they are trained to be aware of this fact when entering into an unknown situation, with guns drawn, that they are statistically already at a disadvantage.
