You’ve trained for this kind of ambush attack (at least, we hope you have) and your instinctive reactions give way to the learned, intuitive response you’ve practiced: you move laterally as you draw your gun.
...I’ve talked to many police officers over the years and they all tell me that the first person to report a crime is almost always viewed as the victim; perpetrators, being de facto criminals, are loathe to get involved with law enforcement in any capacity and thus are seen as unlikely to involve the police.
...Unfortunately our halos aren’t visible to responding officers, and if the guy with the knife is savvy enough to get back at your mean-spirited interference with his making a living by calling the cops you’ll have some explaining to do.
