"It is better to avoid than to run; better to run than to de-escalate; better to de-escalate than to fight; better to fight than to die. The very essence of self-defense is a thin list of things that might get you out alive when you are already screwed." – Rory Miller

Covers his finger while performing a press check (finger in front of muzzle)- safety violation.
Doesn't load the gun to full cap until it's pointed out by SO -procedural?
Starts to move before fully seating the mag- procedural
Didn't get down on one knee behind cover- (which I guess is a)procedural

Oy vey! If I was every in a gun fight, I would probably end up getting shot because I would be preoccupied with avoiding a procedural.  :laugh:

I found some IDPA SO test online and took it yesterday.   Lots of stuff to remember.  But, as they say, those are the rules of the game.  And it IS a game.
