Since i already posted i will add this. Targets DO NOT SHOOT BACK
Unless you are training under fire (Simunitions) all the time, or have been involved in a shoot out, you will never know what it is like to have some one return fire.
FOF training is something that anybody that carries a weapon should do, IMO.

good discussion, I've got to go now, tho...
It IS less important. You and yours are the #1 priority. But, if you're in a position to help someone, possibly save them from being killed by some random crazy person while enjoying breakfast at IHOP, I see no reason not to do so. I certainly would have trouble sleeping at night knowing I did nothing, and knowing the results of my inaction.
