How To React To A Near Ambush

Today, I’ve picked out a piece from the Rated Red archives I know you all will love. Richard Ryan heads out to the SIG Sauer Academy to observe a counter-ambush demo.

Imagine you’re sitting in your car, scrolling on your phone, minding your own business, and someone decides to ruin your day by slinging lead your way. You’ve been ambushed. Dan Hunt from the Sig Sauer Academy shows you how to escape from this situation.  You unholster your pistol, blast some shots through the windshield (accounting for the trajectory of the bullets due to the glass) then retreat to your trunk for a larger weapon.
